Traffic/Transportation GHOE PSA: Don’t drink and drive this week. Seriously.

159 Upvotes

For everyone coming to Greensboro for GHOE, just a heads-up: North Carolina’s Booze It & Lose It campaign runs through November 1.

That means increased law enforcement patrols and sobriety checkpoints statewide.

Greensboro PD is already going to have its hands full with homecoming, but don’t forget about the state troopers. Don’t assume the roads won’t be heavily patrolled just because local police are busy.

Most of y’all already know better, but don’t even risk that quick trip to the store after you’ve been drinking. Traffic is already going to be a nightmare, and a DWI or an accident is a hell of a way to end your homecoming.

Call an Uber. Call a Lyft. Get a sober ride.

Enjoy the Greatest Homecoming on Earth, have a damn good time, and make it home safely.

Question Hit-and-Run

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I was involved in a hit-and-run this morning, October 26, around 6:50 AM on I-40 West, approximately half a mile before Exit 211 (Gallimore Dairy Road).
I was driving a red Honda CR-V when a black sedan changed lanes into my vehicle, striking my driver’s-side rear passenger door. The driver left without stopping.
I’m hoping someone commuting westbound toward Greensboro around 6:40–7:00 AM might have captured the incident or the black sedan on their dashcam.
I’ve filed a police report. If you witnessed anything or have footage, please send me a private message.
Thank you so much!

Question Hay🎃

Looking for a good pumpkin patch/farm nearby that also offers hay rides and other good activities for toddlers. Within 30-40 minute drive? Kinda overwhelmed with online search and it’s hard to tell what’s legit and what’s just an open field with a few pumpkins to pick from.

Housing Anyone dealt with Greensboro Code Compliance over a landlord? How long did the process take?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been dealing with recurring cockroaches in my rental since September. I first requested professional pest control on September 3.

After weeks of back-and-forth, photos, videos, and repeated requests, management finally sent pest control out on October 15. That’s 42 days after my initial request, and it was only an inspection.

The technicians recommended treatment, but management says we need to sign consent forms first. Those forms were promised October 14. We still haven’t received them, and no treatment date has been provided.
It’s now been 53 days since my original request, and I’m still finding cockroaches, including babies.

I filed a complaint with Greensboro Code Compliance on September 30. Management has since expressed interest in reviewing the city’s inspection findings. I’m not sure whether they’re waiting on that inspection before committing to further work, but the lack of progress is frustrating.

For anyone who’s filed a housing complaint with Greensboro Code Compliance, how long did it take to get an inspection? Did the city actually get your landlord to fix things, and what was the process like?

Housing Looking for a great apartment.

1 Upvotes

I’m starting to search for my next place. I would love to live in a great area that’s walkable for shopping and entertainment. Maybe Friendly Center area? Lol

Also looking for a place that has decent sound proofing so I won’t be able to hear every conversation from my neighbors or even their farts.

Any suggestions or words of wisdom?
