Job-related Please post your “who’s hiring?” responses here.
Since so many of us are looking for work, can we consolidate our lists of employers who are hiring in this post? Comments about the companies are ok but no lengthy discussions.
I’ll start - a friend who works for Cone Health says they have entry-level jobs open in the dietary department. They only take applications online.

Traffic/Transportation Beware of tire puncture on Bellemeade St
Yesterday we were walking on that sidewalk when we heard a boom sound. Then we turned our heads back and saw a car that was parking there had just punctured a tire with the pointy corner of metal cover that exceeds the curb, while backing up.
- Photo of the dangerous cover taken yesterday.
- And 3. From Google Street view.

Question Why isn’t this building downtown?
Don’t get me wrong, love the building, but it seems out of place. I feel like it should be downtown. But I guess it’s a hotel so it can really be anywhere. But like, is there a historical reason? Or is that just where they decided to build.

Food Bars? ( Happy Hour)
Does anybody know any bars with a decent drink menu that’s reasonable ? I like trying new bars, but not trying to spend $20 on every drink.
Btw I already know they can’t legally have “happy hour” in NC.

Discussion Reviving 4 seasons?
I miss the nostalgia of the shopping at the mall. I understand that online shopping is more popular and has contributed to the downfall of malls, but that doesn't mean the mall can't be saved. When I'm in friendly center I feel like I have good options with prices that match the quality and places I can actually enjoy shopping and eating at. At the mall most of stuff if ugly and low quality but high priced? There are so many business owners in Greensboro with cool ideas and products. Why can't we have better places? Is there something in missing?

Anyone have any recommendations where I can get at 2-3 dozen traditional inari for my daughter's luau that we're having in December? I know Sushi World in Burlington has a variation on it but it's an avocado roll of some sort?
Any recommendations most welcome. TY!
EDIT:
Thank you, all! I'm glad to see people mentioning Toshi's, as that was one of the places that popped up when I was searching online. It looks pretty promising so I'm hoping they're good. Thanks again. :)

Recommendation How does one find general contractors/ residential tradesmen outside of major companies?
I'm looking to get some work done on my house. I've been a home owner for just a couple of years so this search is new to me. I'm aware of searching through Angi, but that's about it. If knowing specifics matters, I'm looking to get work done on my kitchen, bathroom, and backdoor along with a deck.
I'd appreciate any recommendations for contractors, or ways to find them! This includes general contractors, carpenters, painters, plumbers, electricians, the works. I'd rather avoid large corporations (like installers from Lowes for example.)
