A 16-year-old Black girl was found dead in a Charlotte churchyard, held up by a ratchet strap. Three days later, police closed the case after medical examiners ruled her death a suicide.

Now, her family and community are demanding answers.

To the guy in the silver BMW X3 on Sardis just about an hour and a half ago. You are a man who came to a literal complete stop in traffic right in front of me to attempt to instigate some road rage incident.

What is wrong with you?

I purposely chose to take a right turn into a neighborhood behind you and delay my route home just to avoid having to deal with you, and when I come back to Sardis after pulling a U-turn … you are stopped at the next intersection WAITING FOR ME?! That’s some psycho shit.

So yes, I pulled in and lowered my window to ask what I did wrong, and you begin to yell something along the lines of “you are the only asshole driver in the entire city, I’m gonna beat your ass”.

Thankfully, I was able to drive off as you were proceeding to get out of your car in order to what imagine was “best my ass”.

I mean…if you’re stopping in traffic and getting out of your car IN the road, not only is it one of the most dangerous things you can do, but also there’s something seriously wrong with you.

Dude I’ve never seen you before in my life, I have no idea who you are. I am truly sorry for triggering whatever happened inside of your brain but it seems like you need some serious anger management therapy.

Hang in there.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT. I think I HAVE seen this guy before. Like six weeks ago on E. 3rd street I honked at a guy in a SILVER SUV bc he cut me off. Not like a long honk just a good “beep beeeep”. This dude pulled the same shit. FOLLOWED ME and proceeded to to get behind and tail me until he eventually tapped my rear bumper and drove off. I actually called no -emergency police line to see if I could report a hit and run but they said I couldn’t because I had already driven off. There’s no damage to my car, I don’t dwell on these things, I had honestly completely forgotten about it.I THINK IT IS THE SAME DUDE

Finally some definitive answers thanks to https://liemaxfinder.com

Someone had a side business…

Is there some station that is playing current music? WTF happened? Why are there only 25 yr old side B local radio stations, no college station, and a struggling PBS station. I understand streaming is the thing, but holy hell, this has to be one of the worst cities for music. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

For those of you who travel east or west bound on Wilkinson near the bridge over the Catawba, have you noticed a change with the timing of the traffic lights at the Wilkinson/old Dowd intersection? This is the intersection with the Marathon gas station on one side and the Amazon Fulfillment Center on the other.

What I’ve noticed is the timing is FUBAR. It used to be that Wilkinson got a longer light than Old Dowd. That seems to have been reversed. This week, traffic backs up at the light and you wait at that intersection through multiple lights now. Granted, traffic always backs up there, especially during rush hour, but it is worse than usual.

I called NCDOT. They said it is a CharlotteDOT road. Called CharlotteDOT - they told me the intersection doesn’t exist! After some back and forth, they realized it is theirs and will check it out.

Anyone else notice the change at that intersection?

I have an old external hard drive that has a lot of old family videos on that I’d like to snag but I’m not sure what kind of power cord or what location I could go to where someone could help pull stuff off of here. Anywhere in town I could go?

Hello.

A few days ago, I made a post about looking for a mysterious bar that would embody the energy of a certain cat image I posted. I got some great recommendations. But I also host the Women Who Suck at Pool Club (open to all, I just like the name), and floated the possibility of doing a meetup with a theme. People were into it. So, I have created this “amazing” mix of topics.

On August 14th, (9pm) at Spanky’s Hangout, I will be hosting a Murder Mystery (dress up heavily encouraged) of my own creation, that takes place around the pool table. The story follows Detective Stripes investigating a new case (the disappearance of Mob/Mafia boss Smalls Solids), and centers around characters at the pool table.

There will be pool games, and costumes, and probably stupidity. Furthermore, the best dressed person will win a prize with a monetary value of $50-$100. The instagram for our meetup group is WWSAPCLT, and we will have more information in the coming days/weeks.

Thought I would share to Reddit early.

Had the pleasure of going to Kura and getting a reservation yesterday its a cool novelty little thing with the conveyor belts. Each plate is $3.75 and it adds up fast. Drinks are $4.10 so youre better off getting water. Other than that, I thought the quality of sushi was just okay. The sashimi is sliced really thin. The eel is good. There is no way to make modifications even if you just wanna take off spicy mayo. There isnt much use for the waiters because a robot brings you your drinks and everything else is sent down the line but they still expect a tip and still have a waiter nearby if you need anything. Once the hype dies off I dont see this being as popular as it is now besides checking out the novelty of it as its pretty expensive.

Anybody else check it out yet? Thoughts?

Edit: sorry, stonecrest not southpark!

I'm getting into physical media and am looking for stores that have a really good collection of these used discs.

With all the RTO how are people just chilling in shorts or croptops in south end wtf do you guys do for a living?

I have been working here for several months in advance of my family moving here. Wife and teen kids are coming to visit.

Are there any suggestions for “must see” places? I am thinking Mint Museum, Children’s museum and hopefully a beautiful scenic place to visit.

What would the Charlotte natives here suggest as “must do”? BBQ is a given already.

Looking for local hair stylists that are great with bangs!

PLEASE HELP ME CLT FRIENDS!!!

I’m still new-ish and looking for some yummy garlic noodles.

Hi there, does anyone have a recommendation for a place to take a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited automatic (LJ) for a new engine? This car is very important and of sentimental value, but would also like to not be ripped off.

Thank you for any feedback in advance! 💜

gonna be in town for a little over a week for work and have some downtime on the weekends, whats fun? im 24f, from nyc and haven’t spent much time anywhere below maryland if im being honest. lol but id love to at least hit a few bars where it wouldnt be awkward to be alone and maybe chat to a few people or a cute brunch spot or whatever it is people in their 20s are doing for fun out here!

(i also wouldnt hate if there were cute guys at any of these spots haha)

For anyone in South Charlotte, the traffic light at the intersection of Fairview Road and Park Road was flashing red just now.

Hello! I’ve lived in Charlotte for 4 years and still cannot find the right hairdresser for me!!!

I have tried 2 different stylists at Bishops: one straightened my hair and one put me under a dryer instead of diffusing my hair.
I have since been driving to my hometown outside Charleston SC to see one of my best friends to cut my hair but she’s moving to the northeast 😭 So I need to bite the bullet and land on a local spot.

I have 2c/3a curls and I am a dude with longer hair (reaching mid back). I’m queer and very gender nonconforming/alternative and would ideally love a place chill with that (at the very least respectful). I plan on going for a shag cut next! I don’t have Instagram because I’m an educator and don’t need students finding me, so any spots that don’t use Instagram for booking are ideal!

Really appreciate y’all’s help! Thank you!!!
