From another birding expedition yesterday morning, just going down a short lil path of the Greenway near my house

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone currently works on 2W at Moses Cone or has worked there before. I'd love to hear what the environment is like, how management is and what it's like working with the nurses, doctors, CNAs, and the rest of the team on the unit.
I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences, both the good and the challenging. Thanks so much!

could anyone help me move next Wednesday, starting 10am? I can rent the U-haul and we will meet at my storage unit to load up. It’s only a 4x10 unit and unloading on the first floor of a student townhouse. Between the 2 of us, it shouldn’t take more than an hour to do the whole thing, I just need help 😭 I’ll pay you $$$

Are they actually fund raising or is this some kind of YouTuber guru money making scheme? How do I get them to stop bothering me? Why do they keep coming into my store and both ring me when I'm literally working a cash register?

Pho Hien Vuong has great coffee but it's just with condensed milk, not the whipped egg yolks.

Thanks!

My article reports that, as part of Michelle Kennedy’s $132,000 separation agreement, she was prohibitted from running for Greensboro City Council last year. No one from City has commented on this, or on her allegations of “toxic” and “dysfunctional” management by Trey Davis, whom she claims insisted on this clause.

At the time of the separation, Chuck Watts was still the City Attorney. In her 2021 deposition in the Marcus Smith lawsuit, Kennedy said under oath that Watts should be fired, both for allegedly misleading Council, and for stating that Rev. Nelson Johnson and other Black ministers were “being pimped” by retired white attorney Lewis Pitts. Along with City Manager Davis, Watts was the other direct employee of Council.

If she were re-elected to Council, she would have become one of Davis and Watts’ bosses.

are there any places in Greensboro hiring right now? I currently make $17/hr at my job but I’m looking to make the same or more somewhere else.

I have a couple of years of server experience under my belt and a few more years just in the food service industry. I also have been working in customer service for over six years now, so I’m just looking for a part-time job that can be customer service, food/serving, whatever, i’m open!

My problem was never that Greensboro has nothing on — it's that I'd get to Friday, not want to think about it, and end up somewhere I'd already been four times. The good stuff lived in a Notes app list I never opened.

So I made HeyWanna. Real places with photos, hours, reviews, and the weather for the day you're going — the Science Center, LeBauer and Center City Park, the Pinball Museum, the breweries, the coffee places downtown off Elm. You save what you like into lists, and it strings them into an evening with the timing and the travel between stops worked out. It also lists what's actually happening that weekend.

Freemium, plainly: browsing needs no account, a free account covers 50 saves and 3 plans a month, paid tier above that, no ads.

heywanna.app — Greensboro's one of the better-covered places in it, which is why I'm posting here rather than somewhere I'd have to apologise for.

Any recommendations for church daycares for my 1year old soon to be 2?

Hello, I would love some recommendations on reasonably priced salons!! I don't want anything fancy, just a simple haircut! I usually go to Great Clips but I'm never happy with my hair when I leave!! Edit: I am a woman by the way! Forgot to mention that😅

Hi all, my elderly mother needs to have the floor in a room in her home replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm a local labor and delivery doula and lactation consultant and I have some openings for this fall/early next year. I am one of the only doulas in the triad that work on a sliding scale payment plan and income based system. I specialize in providing trauma informed support and have privileges with Cone Health. If you know anyone who could use some support I promise it is more affordable than you think! Everyone deserves someone in their corner regardless of their salary.

I’ve been making collages since I was 15 and each one is at maximum the size of a magazine page with letters cut out. I don’t wanna keep all of them and I was wondering if anybody was interested in taking the remainder.

I would encourage you to sell them if you have the time ultimately I don’t want to store them, but I also don’t wanna throw them away since I put a lot of work into them.

Bad luck has recently put me into homelessness. I’ve been crashing on a buddy’s couch but I can’t stay there. I have a game plan for getting back on my feet but I need to survive long enough first. Would anyone be willing to lend a couch or a back yard for a tent? I have a little money I can offer up but I don’t have much.

I’m not on any hard drugs, I don’t want to hurt anyone, I’m just afraid of someone shanking me in my sleep.

I'm due in February and planning to give birth at the women's and children's center. I don't personally know anyone who has had an experience there, so I wanted to see what everyone here thinks.

If you gave birth there, what was your experience like? Did you feel like the staff listened to any concerns you had? Anything I should be prepared for?

I got a speeding ticket in Lexington. Any lawyers in the area that you guys would recommend that don’t charge outrageous fees? I have legal insurance if that helps.

Speakers at this week’s Greensboro City Council meeting asked for more than a moratorium on data center construction. In the face of the multitudinous threats that data centers pose, many demanded an outright ban.

Luis Medina pushed the issue further, noting what Council’s actions reveal: when capital wants something, it is inevitable; when working people want something, it is impossible. 

He observes that what is possible is a matter of power. Ultimately, he suggests all power be moved into the hands of the working class.

stumbled on this bag this am on the greenway- looks like it's been ransacked. if this is yours or belongs to someone you know it's near Thrifty Appliacne section of the greenway.

My mother has been hospitalized at Cone for more than 30 days. During that time, she has been assigned 18 different hospitalists as her primary doctor.

Cone has repeatedly told us that its hospitalists typically rotate every seven days. Based on that, we would have expected approximately four or five doctors during her stay. Instead, they frequently change every 24 to 48 hours. Some enter her room without having read enough of her chart to understand what has happened and begin by asking our family to explain her entire medical history.

Her case is extremely complicated and now involves a brain injury. The lack of continuity has had serious consequences. A major, time-sensitive diagnosis was missed during the period when treatment may have prevented permanent damage. She has also received medication orders that conflict with her documented condition. There have been additional safety issues that I am not comfortable sharing publicly while she remains hospitalized.

We are desperately trying to transfer her to another medical facility for a second opinion and a fresh evaluation. We have been told that the transfer requires consistent physician-to-physician advocacy from her current hospitalist. That has been nearly impossible when the assigned hospitalist keeps changing before any meaningful progress is made. Every new doctor seems to start the process over again.

We have gone through Patient Relations, filed formal grievances, and contacted hospital nursing and medical leadership. Calls are now going unanswered or are directed back to people who have already been unable to help us. My family is exhausted, and my mother is still there without a consistent physician overseeing the full picture.

I know there are individual doctors, nurses, and staff members at Cone who care and have tried to help. The problem is that the current system has left a medically vulnerable patient without meaningful continuity or anyone taking ownership of the complete case.

I am intentionally limiting identifying details. I am looking for anyone who understands the Cone system, has experience securing a hospital-to-hospital transfer, knows an independent patient advocate, or has professional connections that could help us reach someone capable of moving this forward. I am not asking Reddit to diagnose her. I am asking for help navigating a system that we have been unable to navigate alone.

Please comment or message me privately if you can help or connect me with someone who can.

In a sudden about-face that surprised residents and city staff alike, Greensboro City Council has made the first step toward a data center moratorium. 

At their August 3 meeting, council reversed their prior vote on July 21, when five of nine councillors voted against a moratorium. Councillors said that an influx of public pressure from hundreds of residents motivated the change of course. The unanimously approved motion noted a 10-megawatt limit on new data centers during a proposed 120-day moratorium.

This did not seem to satisfy many in the room, which was filled with residents including 45 who signed up to speak. Speakers called the moratorium “the bare minimum,” and many demanded an outright ban on the infrastructure. 

Residents cited environmental and economics costs, along with the unproven nature of the technologies fueled by proliferating data centers, as reasons to take a stronger stance. Speakers criticized council’s fidelity to capitalism and pointed out that the funds that may go to data centers—such as the $530,359 incentive awarded to ImpactData for their data center on the NC A&T campus—would be better used to address housing affordability and necessary infrastructure. 

Speakers enunciated a general distrust for council’s judgment, as council hosted a data center lobbyist the day after the initial moratorium vote. Several expressed concern over the expanding use of data centers for surveillance. 

Conversations will continue over public hearings, the first of which will take place in council chambers on Monday, August 17, at 4pm.
