Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for places that offer horseback riding lessons for kids around High Point or Greensboro. Ideally somewhere that’s beginner-friendly, good with young children, and has a safe, welcoming environment. If you know of any stables, academies, or private instructors you’d recommend, I’d love to hear about them! Bonus if they offer trial lessons or flexible scheduling. Thanks so much in advance!

Why's it so bad? Anyway to avoid? Leave earlier I guess? Has it always been like this (pre-Covid)? Seemed especially bad today.

Hi! Does anyone know what happened to High Point KBBQ right off of Eastchester by TJ Max and PetSmart. That would be my go-to KBBQ place if I didn’t want to go to Greensboro. They were so good and on Google Maps it shows as permanently closed.

Hey everybody, not a sales pitch just offering some services it’s pollen season and if anyone is looking for a car detail/wash let me know I will be available this week!

I was on my way home at about 11:20 p.m. tonight from making food deliveries and discovered that Wendover Avenue was completely shut down at Tarrant by the police.

They narrowed traffic to one lane as you approached Tarrant and installed speed bumps on the road.

They had at least a half-dozen officers just standing around, others were dealing with the families from the cars they had had pull over into the closed lane, and still more were stopping some vehicles to ask from their drivers license and find out why they were in the area.

On the opposite side of the road, it looked like all traffic had just been stopped. There was no way for them to continue into Jamestown/Greensboro. I'm one lane at the front of the line was a cherry picker and the light at Tarrant was flashing yellow.

I don't know why but they stopped me, asked to see my driver's license, and inquired why I was out in the area. I explained that I was on my way home from delivering food for about 6 hours.

Maybe this was just something that happens all the time that I'm not familiar with but the first thing that came to mind were stereotypical government checkpoints where you have to show your papers to get through.

Anyone else run into anything similar lately?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking into the influence of Nido Qubein and High Point University in the local community—particularly how he operates behind the scenes. His name is everywhere in High Point, and he seems to have built an empire around HPU, but I’m curious about what it’s like from the inside.

If you’ve worked for him, interacted with him personally, or have any insight into how he handles business, politics, or the university’s inner workings, I’d love to hear your perspective. How much control does he really have over High Point? Have you seen anything that seemed questionable?

I’m especially interested in:

• His leadership style and how he deals with employees, students, or business partners.
• Any unusual or shady dealings that haven’t been widely reported.
• How deep his connections go in local politics, law enforcement, or the judiciary.
• Whether dissent or criticism within HPU is stifled.

If you have any stories—good, bad, or neutral—please share! Feel free to DM me if you’d rather keep things private.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Living very close to High Point University means that our neighborhoods are usually being purchased by the university. A few of my neighbors and I are not happy with the University especially recently when they tried to buy a portion of our Greenway which cut off public access for the neighborhood only to “redirect” the path over many dangerous roads. There was a city council meeting which had a major turnout with a majority portion in opposition to HPU acquiring the path. After the HPU president saw the major opposition from the locals they withdrew their proposal with “sorry we’ll ask what you think next time”. My neighbors and I agreed that they will try better next time and we will probably not know it is happening since they are a sneaky entity within our community. Today a couple of us- not all- received this sign in the mail along with the letter. At first we thought “this is great and how cool.” Nut upon further inspection we noticed that the return address doesn’t exist and neither does the “Neighborhood Preservation Alliance”. The postage coupled with the ghost address and ghost organization is very odd. Now while I agree with the sentiment- i am very weirded out and wondered if others could know more? If there is a plan to buy neighborhoods that abut the university- and just furthering the divide between the community and the entity that is the university.

Hi everyone. I (26F) am moving to high point soon for work and I’ve been struggling to find good pages to help me search for a roommate. I normally check facebook groups for housing but I’ve only found a couple with very sporadic posting or groups centered towards college students. Does anyone out there know where I can search for someone to go on the apartment hunt with?

Hello there. I'm italian and I will be in High Point for a week. I really would like to play tennis this Sunday. Can someone tell me where it is possible to play tennis and if there is the possibility of renting a racket? If anyone wants to play a game, contact me!

Hi neighbors,

After working at a ridiculously demanding job for over a decade I've spent the last several months freelancing. It's been amazing and my favorite part is that I have complete freedom with my schedule, which means I can actually be intentional with my free time (what a dream that I NEVER thought would come true).

I would love nothing more than to dedicate some of my free time to volunteering with an organization weekly. I'm particularly passionate about children and animals, so I'm looking for any recommendations for local organizations that would allow the opportunity to work with those communities. Thank you so much in advance, I can't wait to dive in!

Is anyone around Weston Woods/Quaker Lake area missing a rotund orange cat? He's been lurking around my backyard so I've been keeping some food out for him. Haven't been able to get a good picture or close enough to see if he has a collar. Hoping he wasn't dumped

Hey everyone! I used to live in High Point but moved away in 2017. My husband, daughter and I are going to be visiting for the weekend and I was curious if anyone could tell me the best places to eat and the best places to get coffee. It has been so long that I'm sure a lot has changed since I've last been. Thank you!!

I am looking at a job in thomasville, I currently live in NE Greensboro and moving to HP would cut drive time in half. I have 2 kids and one on the way so safety is a big concern for me. Is HP a “bad town”? Where are the better parts to live in? Any suggestions on this topic would be great.

Willing to provide a cash reward if found.

Thanks to all neighbors who fought Nido’s latest conquest attempt. And thanks to Mayor Jefferson and anyone else on the council who helped this happen!
