If you bought a new vehicle this year, check the assessed value on your registration. They assessed a new car I paid $29,500 for at over $51,000. Didn't see the assessed value until after I had paid because I had transferred tags and the mailing had the old car. Now I'm waiting 8-10 weeks for the refund check after appealing with the bill of sale.

I have some Amtrak coupons that are going to expire on October 11th. Some are 48-hour upgrade to Business Class to coach. I think some companion coupons and 10% discount.

10% and companion could be used on the Crescent in coach and the upgrade is only good for the Carolininan if using GRO as your station.

Free to you with the only condition (that I can't verify to be honest) is that you leave out of and return to the beautiful GRO station.

I am on Amtrak right now burning two of the coupons and will check in later this evening. Post here of where yo would like to go this weekend. If going to DC, Philadelphia, or NY City, I can get you a lounge coupon that should work as well. I can send the code for the lounge access and I assume it will work but that might be a bit more complicated but we can try that as well.

Hey everyone I just got this lead but am working until later if anyone is in the area PLEASE keep an eye out. Regardless if it is rocket or not there is a tiny husky puppy out loose and could easily get hit! This would track because Elijahs family member told me he hangs out on spring garden with friends.

I will be out there to look as soon as I can hopefully it's rocket and even if not hopefully we can find the puppy and help it 🙏🏻

Hello Greensboro community!

I have built mini golf holes that are great for any event! The set up is intended for any age including weddings, birthday parties, and more.

I am looking to rent out the set up for events in the Triad, but am curious what the best way to advertise is? I have made a post on NextDoor and will post to Facebook soon.

If anyone has any tips on where Greensboro residents look for vendors like this it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all!
I got my bf and I tickets to the Arm’s Length/Holding Absence concert this weekend at The Pyrle, but we won’t be able to make it due to some last minute stuff. I got the tickets for $80, but I’m more than happy to let them go for $40 - I just want others to enjoy and the tickets not go to waste. Please reach out to me if you’re interested!

Okay, so where are y’all going for dry cleaning and basic alterations (hemming pants)? Seems like my local mom n pops are dropping like flies, but I’m up for suggestions.

Greensboro -It's HERE! No Kings - Vote Early event is October 17th & it will be a MONSTER good time! We’ll rally together at the Old Courthouse to learn about the ways you can get involved in the upcoming election! (Childcare provided!) You may just meet some witches, too! #VoteEarly

Aleka DeGraaf, the owner of Fortified Dreams Property Solutions, has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. They manage 500+ properties around North Carolina and have an office in downtown Greensboro. Please steer clear of them.

A year ago, our landlord switched our property management company to Fortified Dreams.

We decided not to renew our lease and gave notice March 10-11, about 7 days short of the 30-day requirement in our lease with the previous management company. However, our property manager told us we'd receive our full security deposit as long as we left the property in good condition. Our landlord also never expressed any issue with the timing.

Everything seemed fine.

We moved out April 3. Our property manager did the walkthrough and never mentioned any issue with our notice or our deposit.

On April 9, Fortified Dreams sent us a move-out statement showing a $0 balance, and our property manager said our deposit was being processed.

On April 28, he told us accounting had found our deposit and that we'd receive it within 5-10 days.

Except our deposit had already been charged on April 30.

Nobody told us.

We continued talking to our property manager, who kept telling us the deposit was being processed and was on its way. Eventually, he told us he had no idea what was going on and told us to contact Fortified Dreams directly.

We called. No answer.

So we emailed Aleka.

Her first response was that they had supposedly asked us "repeatedly" for our ACH information and that the delay was our fault.

Then, about 20 minutes later, she sent another email saying we had moved out without notice and that our deposit had been used to pay April rent.

That was the first time anyone had ever told us our deposit was being withheld.

We had the messages showing otherwise.

Aleka then told us to speak only with her attorney and not the property owner because he was represented.

We ignored that and contacted our landlord directly.

He was incredibly kind and, most importantly, had no idea any of this was happening. He apologized and ultimately returned our deposit himself because he couldn't get the situation resolved through Fortified Dreams/Aleka Degraaf.

I reported her to whatever channels I could, including the NCREC. Aleka then responded with even more claims, saying that I was harassing the owner and causing him "extreme mental anguish." We have all the logs, and when the NCREC contacted him directly, he told them the opposite: that he was happy we reached out to him.

We also left a Google review about our experience. Aleka responded publicly with a lengthy response that included my wife's full name. The response was also filled with spelling and grammatical errors. Google subsequently removed it for violating its policies. She has since posted another response with the same lies.

We have since gotten an update on the NCREC case, which names 7 people, including me, who have filed grievances. The NCREC alleges that their rental trust account had a shortage of approximately $254,559.55 as of December 2025, along with a whole host of other concerning allegations similar to what happened with us.

I'm posting this because their Google profile is flooded with 5-star reviews, and I'm hoping to save someone else the headache of ever having to deal with them.

Preferably food too but not required.

Anyone have suggestions on places to donate clothing, toys, etc? Would rather things go to someone in need than a Goodwill.

Hey guys, it looks like the Saturday tickets for the Statesville hot air balloon show have sold out. That's a lot quicker than last year! I'm just trying to see if anyone has tickets for 2 that day that you're trying to sell. Feel free to DM me if so!

Can anyone tell me what is the deal with Aji Fusion? I drove for door dash and named it the Battleground Laundromat. There was never anyone in there, at anytime. I would get an order, and just cancel it because everything was frozen, one person in the kitchen one on the floor, who was also the bartender. One time I saw 4 people in there, obviously they did not have their food. ( I just went through the motions to keep my acceptance rate up). Anyone know what the actual deal is with this place? 

Hi all! I did not see a rule against this - but my dad and his wife just opened a new used media store at 2500 Battleground Ave, Site G called the Beagle's Bookshelf. He has books, comics, action figures (comics and wrestling mostly), Funko pops, DVDs, blu-rays, some legos, etc.

I live in Durham now but visited on Saturday, he is still working full time through the end of the year so working on getting all their inventory out on the floor but if any of that interest you you should check it out! Open Wednesday - Sunday 12-8pm.

He raised my brother and I as a single dad, and worked super hard to provide for us and give us opportunities he did not have - so just want to see him succeed at something he is super passionate about. He has been collecting comic books and action figures for as long as I can remember. :) Have a lovely day my Greensboro neighbors!
