EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK
If you
don’t
like immigrants, get tf out of here
If you don’t like the immigrants in this country, you can get the hell out. You think your great, great, greatgrandfather was born in this country, Sally? What about you Adam? Didn’t your ancestors, just a few generations back, come through Ellis Island? What about you Kate?
I thought so
If you live in this country, unless you have indigenous blood in you, you have no right to tell people to “go back where they came from.”

roads, your government buildings, your libraries, your parks, your streetlights.
In 2019, more than half of all hired farmworkers in the United States were immigrants, or roughly 450,000 workers. That’s the food on your table.
And don’t even get me started on the cultural significance immigrants have brought to this country. You think your hibachi just fell out of a coconut tree? You think the pad thai spot down the street would exist without immigrants? What about your favorite taco joint? How about the Puerto Rican restaurant — from the place they called the “floating island of garbage” — on the corner that you like so much?
You think your hibachi just fell out of the coconut tree?
For the last several months, the Trump campaign has made immigrants its top scapegoat. They’re the reason why our economy isn’t working for everyday Americans. They’re the reason crime is up. They’re the reason for this and that.
I don’t want to hear any more of it.
Did you know that in 2022 immigrants contributed $382.9 billion to federal taxes and $196.3 billion in state and local taxes?
And what about those undocumented immigrants you hate so much? According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, they contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2022. That money is spent on your schools, your
If you’re out here spouting hatred about immigrants and falling for the absolutely disgusting racist rhetoric out of the Trump campaign, you need to keep walking when you smell the mouthwatering scent of shawarma wafting down the street. Don’t you dare order shrimp lo mein from the China Wok next to your grocery store. You better not get your nails done, get your lawn trimmed, get your house repainted or go to the doctor for that matter.
Because immigrants — and enslaved folks — built this damn country that you want to “protect” so much. So if you hate it here, why don’t you leave? Because we belong here as much as you do Karen, and we’re not going anywhere.

Spooky Calls
Some of the scariest and most controversial decisions made by Winston-Salem and Greensboro city leaders this past year
by Gale Melcher | gale@triad-city-beat.com
City leaders in Winston-Salem and Greensboro vote on hundreds of resolutions each year — whether it’s to change a city law or spend city funding. And those choices have the power to change residents’ lives in several spooky ways. Here are some of the scariest decisions (or lack thereof) made by city leaders since last Halloween.
WINSTON-SALEM
City council is made up of eight voting city councilmembers who represent different wards of the city and Mayor Allen Joines, who only votes in the case of a tie. Many of them are running for re-election this year.
New bus station rules
Last year, city leaders approved the Winston-Salem Transit Authority’s updated code of conduct for downtown’s Clark Campbell Transportation Center. Those rules have been in effect since December 2023. Now, people can’t spend more than 90 minutes at the bus station and need a valid bus ticket to remain on site, stirring concern over the welfare of unhoused people who often use the restrooms or the lobby to stay out of the elements.
In August, one of WSTA’s North State security guards made a person sleeping at the bus station leave the property, according to a report acquired via public records request.
“I felt it necessary to attempt to use a ‘sound pen’ to gain the gentleman’s attention,” the guard wrote in their report. “This worked rather well and was able to open dialogue between me and the gentleman enough for me to ascertain that he was not waiting for a bus, then asked him to leave the property if he was not waiting on the bus, which he complied.”
Refusal to call for a ceasefire
Despite the months of pleading from Palestinian-American, Muslim and Jewish activists and allies calling for a ceasefire resolution — an action taken by NC municipalities such as Durham and Carrboro — WinstonSalem has yet to pass anything acknowledging the ongoing destruction of Gaza. Mayor Allen Joines told TCB that it’s out of city leaders’ purview. “We don’t see that it’s part of local governments,” he said. Forsyth County is home to nearly 3,800 Muslims according to 2020 Census data
While not a ceasefire resolution, Greensboro offered a resolution of “peace and support,” which passed unanimously in January. Drafting the resolution was a joint effort by councilmembers Tammi Thurm and Marikay Abuzuaiter. In November, Abuzuaiter’s nephew Hassan Munir Abuzuaiter was killed in Gaza in an airstrike
Downtown parking changes
The city is on its way to implementing paid parking downtown in all 1,400 on-street and 1,600 off-street spaces. Currently, on-street parking spaces are either free or cost as little as 25 cents an hour — many meters only accept coins. Off-street costs $1 per hour. City leaders heard the new plan during the city’s public works committee meeting on Oct. 15.
The new plan will raise prices to $1.50 per hour in on-street spots and $1 for offstreet spaces. Fines will also get a hike — they’re currently $15 and will be raised to $30. Parkers will have to pay via the PayByPhone application. Three councilmembers voted in favor of the plan, while Councilmember John Larson abstained. The plan now goes to the full city council for approval in November, and will be implemented by spring 2025.
This big change has irked many residents. And some are worried that it will drive business away from downtown. “Modernization is great, keeping up with the times is great,” resident Heidi Schwartz told TCB. But going from 25 cents to $1.50 is a big jump for businesses recovering post-pandemic, she said. “I just don’t want the stigma around it to negatively impact the business that it drives to the city,” she added.
GREENSBORO
City council is comprised of eight councilmembers —- five representing the city’s five districts and three at-large councilmembers — and Mayor Nancy Vaughan, who does vote. Greensboro city council does not have elections this year.
Granting severance to former city manager
City Manager Taiwo Jaiyeoba spent only two short years managing the city of Greensboro, while the city spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to settle a female city employee’s claims of “unwanted touching” by Jaiyeoba, who ultimately resigned in March. Two senior-level city employees told WFDD that they had “seen documents related to an internal inquiry which found Jaiyeoba sent inappropriate messages of a sexual nature to a female

employee.” Even though his contract stated that he wouldn’t receive any severance pay if he quit, he ended up receiving a $125,000 package.
Jaiyeoba was also embroiled in a scandal that occurred on Dec. 28, when he was involved in a domestic dispute with his daughters. One of his daughters stated to a 911 dispatcher: “My dad is an abuser.” She added that Jaiyeoba was “trying to say” that she “hit him and pushed him and his arm is broken…. He’s a very powerful man.” Jaiyeoba’s daughters reported minor injuries after the incident. Jaiyeoba became the National Transit Planning Director for Lochner, a national infrastructure services provider, in July.
Interactive Resource Center influence ity leaders have involved themselves in the downtown homeless services center’s business for the last several months. After years of operating as a day center from 8 a.m.-3 p.m., in January the Interactive Resource Center started operating 24/7, save for a few hours in the afternoon for cleaning. The IRC received monetary assistance from the city and county to do so. Soon, the center began to act as an overnight shelter with many patrons sleeping on its floor.
CIn the months after the increase in hours, the IRC fell under increased scrutiny as calls for service to police doubled temporarily. The calls also correlated with an overall increase in people served.
During the 2023-24 fiscal year, they served 8,520 people. During the prior fiscal year, they served 5,677. Downtown business owners complained at length via email and at city council meetings about trash and safety concerns.
In July, the city council delayed granting funding to the IRC, citing concerns and requested for a plan of action from the IRC to curb calls for service and address trash, a major complaint of nearby business owners. The council ultimately gave the IRC funding in August
Now, the center has announced that they will go back to its day-center hours on Nov. 1, just as winter chills creep closer, leaving IRC patrons in the lurch.
In an Oct. 7 email, Mayor Nancy Vaughan told another councilmember that she had pushed IRC leadership at an Oct. 2 meeting to “go back to being a day shelter.”
In an Oct. 14 press release, the IRC stated that they were asked to “develop a plan” at the Oct. 2 meeting. They were given two options, they added: “Scale down capacity or return to a day center model.”
“I told them that they needed to get a commitment from the county on funding,” Vaughan stated in her email, adding that she told IRC leadership that the city was “not going to fund the whole cost” and that she thought it was time for them to “right size” and “go back to doing what they did.”
City leaders fail to fully remediate Bingham Park
Bingham Park, located in East Greensboro, which is a predominantly Black part of town, is the site of a former pre-regulatory landfill that was turned into a park in the 1970s. Until April of this year, the park was open but new guidance around acceptable lead levels in soil from the Environmental Protection Agency dropped in January, and the city rushed to close down the park three months later and put up a fence.
The city received multiple recommendations to fully remediate the park — removal of the contaminated dirt — including from their own Parks and Recreation Commission. But to the dismay of Bingham Park residents, city leaders voted 6-2 on Oct. 22 to simply cap and cover the park, citing lack of funding. This will leave the dirt in place at the park, and a geotextile layer will be placed over the landfill waste and 12 inches of soil will be placed on top instead. The move won’t allow for trees or other things such as light poles that can penetrate the ground. Instead, the site will turn into a passive green space.
The city received $18 million in state and federal grant funding for this project. The cap and cover project will cost the city $12.4 million, while full remediation would have cost between $41.3-43.4 million.
“Truthfully, I feel sad; I feel that they don’t care about us,” Bingham Park resident Antwuan Tysor told TCB in May. “I’m pretty sure if we were on another side [of town], this would have been fixed by now. We’re the last to get anything fixed over here.”
In late October, Greensboro City Council voted to cap and cover Bingham Park rather than fully remediate it.

‘An exchange’ The Fulbright teaching program brings educators from around the world to Greensboro prompting learning in and out of the classroom
by William Zimmerman
t feels, at first, like a sort of multicultural middle school dance. American-born, Greensboro-based teachers to this side and, to that side, the teachers from everywhere else in the world: 21 educators representing 19 countries and six continents, all of whom have come to the United States, many for the first time, to learn the ways of the American classroom and the teachers who lead them.
There’s Zainab Gambo, biology teacher from Nigeria, whose first name means “sweet smelling flower.” Sarawut Saichan, from Thailand, whose name pays homage to the arrow of Rama, the Hindu deity. Ragaa, from Egypt, said her name means “hope.”
The Fulbright Teaching and Excellence and Achievement Program shortened to Fulbright-TEA, is a collaboration, an opportunity to build global competence and to foster mutual understanding. Its beneficiaries are the young minds spread all throughout the Guilford County School District and those a few years older at UNCG. And, of course, the international teachers and their Greensboro-based counterparts.
As part of the program, which began on Sept. 11, the teachers, who hail from the farthest corners of the globe — Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Iraq — to closer corners like Haiti, Barbados, the Dominican Republic — and 13 countries in between — are placed into classrooms within Guilford County and immerse themselves into the fabric of the UNCG campus. In previous years, the partnerships formed here have extended long beyond the program’s six-weeks, with teachers’ connecting their classrooms across mountains and deserts and oceans through Skype or through Zoom.
Though the program only lasts about a month and a half, the goal and the aftereffects of the partnership are long-lasting. For the visiting educators, it’s an opportunity to learn about the American education system. For the local teachers, it gives a global perspective, and to their students, a sort of study-abroad experience from the comfort of their classrooms.
“It’s an exchange,” said Keisha Brown, principal of the Middle College at UNCG, one of the three participating public schools. “Going out and learning from other people that our way is not the only way, about being compassionate and good citizens — that’s it, that’s education.”
Bringing the study abroad experience to Greensboro students
aria Anastasiou, from Cyprus, acts as an educator, though not a participant in this year’s program. If this were indeed a middle-school dance, then she would be something between chaperone and their mother.

grants — the support Anastasiou provides to Greensboro’s students studying abroad, as well as those from international backgrounds studying in Greensboro, is rarely just academic.
Anastasiou, who first came to America on an international scholarship herself, knows how daunting this landscape can be; that’s what drew her here.
“This is a place where I feel I could make a difference,” said Anastasiou, who has led the program all three of its years at UNCG.
In 2024, the program is taking place at UNCG as well as at four other American universities. Sponsored by the US Government and administered by the non-profit International Research & Exchanges Board, visiting educators are placed at one of these host institutions at random, then matched with teachers in one of several pre-selected public schools who teaches a similar subject matter. Bringing these perspectives is like extending a pseudo-abroad experience, which research has shown to foster intercultural understanding, increase patience and self-awareness and boost career and employability outcomes for students who might not have the opportunity to travel.
“We have 18,000 students on campus and we send about 400 to study abroad every year,” Anastasiou said. “This program is an opportunity for us to bring global learning to students who may not be able to [travel internationally].”
This year, Latino teachers join a conversational Spanish class; a student researching economic investment in Africa meets with two educators from opposite sides of Nigeria; and the Thai participant, Sarawut, sits down with a soon-to-be graduate applying to spend a year teaching English in his homeland.
But as Anastasiou said, “Global learning shouldn’t start at the university, it should start in our public schools.”
‘A mirrors and windows experience’ in public schools
n choosing the three schools that will co-participate with UNCG this year, Anastasiou sought to present her Fulbrighters with the variety of secondary education options available to students in America. For this year’s program, the Middle College at Guilford, the Doris Henderson Newcomers school and Western Guilford High School were chosen as partners.
In choosing the schools, Anastasiou felt she needed to find institutions that would reflect the international makeup of her cohort. Over the years, participants who practice a “foreign” religion or intend to wear traditional garb have expressed trepidation about their placement in what they perceive as a relatively small and homogenous city as opposed to a larger, more metropolitan area.
There are other expectations about Greensboro and America at large: that English is the only language spoken in public and that political turmoil ensnares every interaction.

And in the schools, that every student has their own laptop and every teacher a boundless budget. But also, that those teachers should never touch their students for fear of legal action, that the metal detectors take up entire lobbies and that firearms might be hidden in any locker.
One of Anastasiou’s main goals for the program is to give educators firsthand experiences so they can see past the media’s representations of America and gain their own understanding of what the country is really like. To this effect, she organizes homestay weekends, attendance at a school board meeting, a trip to Greensboro’s Civil Rights Museum and even a Halloween party. Across six weeks, the international teachers will see arguments over book bans in public schools and the homeless crisis outside their hotel window. But also, multiculturalism on Greensboro’s campus and in the hotel lobby.
As far as administrators at these public schools are concerned, the program sells itself.
“It’s so much of a mirrors and windows experience [for our students],” explained Newcomers Principal Sonia Marquez. “Sometimes I look at you, and you are my mirror — we affirm each other’s identity; sometimes we are windows into [a different] culture and experience.”
Built in the mid-2000s, the Doris Henderson Newcomers school, shortened to Newcomers, provides focused English as a Second Language training to elementary, middle and high-school-aged students who are newly arrived immigrants or refugees to America. Newcomers is intended as a place to ease the educational transition with students attending for one year before moving into a more traditional age-appropriate school.
The international educators who are placed at Newcomers as part of the TEA program are almost as fresh to America as the students. And for Newcomers’ students, to see someone from their own region of the world, perhaps even their own country, offers something to aspire towards.
At the three public schools, the participating educators spend their first days in the classroom sharing with students where they come from and their path to education. Marquez, who watched some of these presentations last year, said that when these teachers share their personal stories — particularly the challenges and obstacles they overcame to get to where they are today — it allows students to picture their own successes, even in the face of the adversities they and their families fled from in their home countries, or are now facing in America.
As Marquez put it, “You can’t be what you can’t see.”
Learning from each other
Opportunities to participate in the program are highly coveted among teachers at Greensboro’s participating public schools. According to one principal, nearly half the educators in her school expressed interest this year.
Teachers who spoke to Triad City Beat reveled in the opportunity to expose their students to a perspective they themselves lacked, to pick up new teaching strategies from other cultures and to see the world. As one science teacher put it, for an educator without the opportunity to travel abroad, this program is the next best thing.
“It’s almost like built-in professional development for our own teachers,” said Brown, the principal at the Middle College. “We can’t globally prepare our students if we’re not globally prepared ourselves.”
After familiarizing themselves with the American classroom experience and presenting on their personal journeys, the participating educators spend the remainder of their classroom days co-teaching lessons with the partner teacher.
Co-teaching takes a different shape in each classroom across the county. Nate Sutton, who teaches at Newcomers but is not an ESL instructor by trade, said it was enriching to see what English language instruction looks like in other parts of the world.
“All of their training comes from within their country,” Sutton said of the participating educators from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan he was matched with, both of whom are dedicated ESL instructors. “[They’ve equipped me] with more tips and tools to add to my repertoire. [They’ve] made me revisit my purpose in teaching.”
Coincidentally, one of the students in Sutton’s classes was born in Turkey and has family from Uzbekistan. Because Uzbek is a relative of the Turkic language, the two were able to communicate with each other in a native-tongue.
The added help of an additional educator in the classroom goes a long way, too. Like
other schools across the district, Newcomers is contending with the diminishment of public funding. However, unlike at other schools, at Newcomers, class sizes tend to swell as new families continuously arrive in the Triad and enroll their children. By the year’s end, the student to teacher ratio can double or triple. As such, teaching ESL and content simultaneously — in a school that isn’t as well-resourced, staff-wise or otherwise, as its peer institutions to begin with — becomes an even greater challenge.
But the teachers in these classrooms have found creative ways to continue their work, often to the surprise of the visiting educators.
Luis Alvarez, a science teacher from Uruguay placed at Newcomers, told TCB that he expected to see more technology in the classrooms but was impressed by the intentionality with which his partner teacher employed what he had. Not all lessons included laptops. And the projector, when used, served to kickstart the lesson. On one day, a clip from CNN about an impending storm set the stage for the partner teachers to lead a conversation about geography with an emphasis on incorporating new vocabulary. The next day, for a lesson on friction, Luis introduced the concept before his partner teacher used a video to provide visual examples. After that, the teachers worked together assisting students in their construction of ramps and food cans so they could see and feel the lesson in action.
Overall, the technological discernment was particularly compelling to Alvarez, who had brought a projector out of pocket a few years back but has since struggled to incorporate it in a way that effectively engaged his students.
In her home country of Nigeria, science teacher Zainab Gambo said that the technological limitations in classrooms have led to the near-ubiquitous adaptation of lecture-based teaching. As a result, “we [Nigerian teachers] are seen as the sole custodians of knowledge and our students have become the consumers of information,” Gambo said.
At Western Guilford High School Gambo saw her partner teacher promoting group work — encouraging students to learn with and from one another, not with computers but with Twizzlers.
The teacher had come into school with packs of licorice, also purchased with her own money, and a hands-on lesson plan: cut the ropes into successively smaller bites, then use your observations to demonstrate the half-life concept.
“Inquiry-based learning, with guided steps towards critical thinking and discovery and problem solving, these are all skills that we emphasize [in Nigeria],” Gambo said. And yet, because so much time was spent speaking about the material at hand, teachers often failed to follow through and actualize those skills. By contrast, at Western Guilford the was focused on “the actual learning rather than just coverage of the syllabus,” Gambo reflected.
The Twizzler lesson was not a one-off, Gambo found, but instead emblematic of the ways Guilford County’s educators and administrators embraced alternative educational strategies. That priority is perhaps best exemplified in the form of the Greensboro Apprenticeship Program. Shortened to GAP, it’s a paid opportunity for highschool students to earn a degree while also building in-demand skills with partnering local companies like FedEx and Amazon.
Before the program had even been fully explained, Gambo said, the wheels were spinning.
“We have all these companies in Nigeria….”
Speaking more broadly on their experiences with the program, Alvarez and Gambo said the six-weeks have challenged many of their assumptions about what a classroom on the other side of the world looks and feels like. About the role technology, for those who have all at their disposal, should play in education. About the challenges and concessions all teachers face. About what it means to be an educator.
“[Where I come from] teaching is like a sentence: there is a level that you can attend to, there is a mark you have already placed on yourself,” Gambo said. “I used to think that this is something that is particular to Nigeria, but having interacted with people from 18 different parts of the world, and the teachers from Guilford County, I know that teachers all around the world we have, we face, we feel the same things.”
The opportunities to find the universalities in the profession, in their humility, in their shared ambition to shape the minds of tomorrow, is the true strength of the Fulbright TEA Program, Anastasiou said. Next year’s contract has already been signed.
“That’s why I do it,” she said, “because I think it has a great impact on people. And to me, people-to-people connections is what makes this world a better place. That’s the bottom of everything.”
How to rig an election
by Brian Clarey
Current North Carolina elections laws do protect the integrity of our elections… somewhat. But there are still numerous ways to affect the outcome of the vote.
Voter disenfranchisement is a big one — simply removing folks from the rolls, or making it more difficult to cast a vote by implementing extra steps like voter ID, or flooding polling places with “election observers” who can do things like challenge voters with “Hispanic sounding” names as “suspicious.”
It should be noted that there is no real threat of noncitizens voting in NC elections — this year’s ballot referendum notwithstanding — and it is already illegal by NC law.
Gerrymandering, too, is a way to rig an election by allowing candidates to choose their voters instead of the other way around. But statewide races, like this year’s presidential election, cannot be gerrymandered. That’s what the Electoral College is for.
But as the Protect Democracy organization has outlined, there is another type of plan afoot in NC that could throw the state’s electors to former President Donald Trump, and it’s scarier than anything Halloweeen can throw at us.
The NC GOP, along with the Republican National Committee and other allies, have already filed at least seven “zombie lawsuits” that cast doubts on the veracity
of the election results that haven’t even been tallied yet. They use the disaster in western NC after Hurricane Helene to suggest that voters there will be disenfranchised, raise the specter of noncitizens voting and issue nonsensical warnings about absentee ballots from military and other overseas voters.
One loophole in NC election laws is that there is no official deadline to resolve protests and recounts, meaning that we could miss the federal Dec. 11 deadline to assign our 16 electoral votes. If that happens, the GOP-majority NC Legislature could attempt to decide themselves who the state goes to by creating a slate of alternate electors, citing what’s known as the “independent state legislature” theory. This would only happen if Vice President Kamala Harris wins NC, which… who knows? And it would cause a national outcry in a close race like this one, more bad press for our state.
There is also a possibility that the state legislature could decide council of state and other state-level elections independent of the will of the voters by claiming election fraud and irregularities in the process, already laid out by the zombie lawsuits.
These conspiracy theories are emboldening a new generation of homegrown terrorists, who US intelligence agencies warn may have plans to subvert the election results themselves through physical violence at polling places and campaign events.
It’s like the Jan. 6 playbook, amped up and spread throughout the country. This time, we just have a bit more advance notice of what may happen after the election. And, unlike the 2020 election, NC may play a pivotal role.

A monster at the quarry
MSent in by Georgie K. y best friend and I were at the old quarry in Grant Park. It was late evening and we were there to catch the sunset at the lookout. The park is usually busy during the day, but it was just starting to get cold. In the off season, sometimes you’ll be the only one there if you go close to dusk. You drive down a long, winding road to get to the lookout, and we were the only car on the road.
We’d filled thermoses with hot chocolate and brought blankets to lay out. At first, I was excited. But the further we got down the road, the more uneasy I felt. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly why. I couldn’t focus on anything. The movement of the trees off the road was making me nervous. With each new stretch of the road our headlights illuminated, I kept expecting to see someone standing there beside the trees. I couldn’t say why, I just had the sense that there was someone else nearby.
And then, a few hundred feet from the lookout, the music on our car speakers started to cut out. I figured it was our reception. It was static at first, a few fragments of the song, and then nothing. “Whatever,” my friend said, “we’re almost there.” I sat the rest of the drive up in silence. She was talking, but I couldn’t tell you what she said. I wasn’t paying attention.
The sky was a beautiful pink-purple. I remember that. I still have the pictures. They look dull in comparison to what we really saw. It was like a watercolor painting. It was so beautiful. But I was still trying to shake the feeling that something was wrong.
We parked in the lot and unloaded our blankets and picnic basket. The trees were still swaying, our headlights shining bright into the bank of them. They were about 50 feet ahead of us, I think. It was just too far off for me to be confident in what I saw. I could have sworn something moved there. There was a flash of red and a faint cracking sound. I asked my friend to look too, and she stared into the trees for a second. She shrugged it off and told me to stop it. She said I was trying to freak her out. I wasn’t trying to, but my nerves were on edge. I couldn’t help it.
There were no other cars in the parking lot. It was probably a deer, I figured. I’d read that they were crepuscular, which means that they’re mostly active during the dusk and the dawn hours. That fit. So it was nothing, I decided.
We climbed up to the lookout. There’s a big metal pier there that extends out over the remnants of the old quarry. When they stopped using it for mining back in the ’70s
it slowly filled with water. Now, it is a deep lake bordered by high cliffs and scrubby foliage. In the summer, the pier is perfect for watching the kayakers below. At night, the waters are smooth and almost black.
We laid out our blanket at the edge of the pier. We sat out there suspended a hundred feet over the dark, still water. I’d spiked my hot chocolate with something a little stronger, and I was starting to feel a little better. We were talking, eventually laying out on our backs looking up at the changing colors of the sky. For a few hours it was fine. The pink faded to oranges and purples and, finally, a navy — almost black. The stars looked bright out over the water.
And then I heard the snap. I sat up. I couldn’t see anything at first. The overlook is walled in on either side to keep people from falling over the edge. All we could see was the entrance to the long, narrow pier. It was almost pitch black now. There was nothing there.
But my friend was sitting up now too, because she’d heard it as well. I felt frozen. We were almost pressed up against the edge of the pier. There was nowhere to go, hanging suspended a hundred feet up over the water. It felt like the metal structure was shifting with the wind.
The sound came again: a snap, and then a shuffling. And then I heard something scrape against metal. I reached for my phone. I don’t think I was even breathing. I was scared even the brightness of my screen would draw attention to us. I turned on my flashlight before my friend could yell at me to stop. I don’t know what I was thinking. For a fraction of a second we saw it in the beam of the flashlight. It was five, maybe six feet tall. The light reflected red off of its eyes. Its face was a fleshy, drawn smile, and for just a moment I could see the folds of its wrinkled, pig-like nose. It stood blocking the exit of the pier. I dropped my phone, and it skidded several feet from us, the beam of the flashlight still on. We could see its strange, clawed feet gripping onto the entrance to the pier.
I remember that my friend screamed. I don’t know if I made any sound at all. I scooted backwards towards the edge of the pier. We saw it step forward. One clawed foot, then the other, and then it was running along the pier. I only saw a glimpse of its hairy body in the beam of the flashlight. I screamed, then. I think I closed my eyes. The next thing I remember is getting hit with a strong gust of air that knocked me back against the edge of the pier. When I opened my eyes, it was gone. I scrambled forward for my phone. Without my friend, I wouldn’t have noticed it. But I followed her gaze up. Together, we watched the thing disappear into the black sky, its huge wings spread out blocking the light from the moon.
I haven’t been back to the quarry park since.
A late-night trash run
ISent in by Olivia Morrison t’s not my story, but it happened to a coworker of mine. So me and this girl work at a print shop in Kernersville. I’ve been there a year now, and she’s the owner’s daughter so she’s been there longer. When I started, she told me I should always make sure to take out the trash early before the last person left. When I asked her why she told me that there was this one night when she was taking out the trash that something weird happened.
She said she was closing up by herself, and that’s how it always is because it’s just one person on the closing shift. That’s one of the reasons I like this job because our shifts are staggered so if you get in the latest you leave the latest and vice versa. We usually just lock up and bag up all of the waste and put it out in the dumpster that’s by the woods at the end of the street. So she was doing that and she said she saw a guy going through the trash — but like a really big guy, almost seven feet tall
wearing this big backpack on his back. She said he was basically in the dumpster with the lid open going through it, and she didn’t realize how big he was until he stood up and looked at her and then she realized there was something really wrong about his face. She couldn’t really tell me what it was. When I asked her about it she said he didn’t say anything to her just stared at her so she turned around and left the trash inside until the next morning. That scared me so much I think about it all the time.
Encounters with the Bat Creature
Sent in by Haleigh Colombo
m a second-shift custodian, so most nights after work I have to do a mad dash to my car in the middle of the night. There have been two occasions where I’ve seen something unusual.
The first time I was barely awake and running on around five cups of coffee. I finally clocked out and made my way into the parking lot which is pretty large, surrounded by a lot of trees, and only has a few lights by the building. I was pretty out of it, so when I saw something red outside the trees I just assumed it was one of my coworker’s taillights. But as I was driving away, I realized the only coworker I worked with had left an hour before me.
I had completely forgotten about that whole experience until a few weeks later when I was leaving work again and stopped to smoke (I’m now in the process of quitting though!). I heard some rustling and assumed it was just another deer, so I quietly shifted closer and that’s when I saw it. I know it’s a terrible name, but I’ve been calling it the Bat Creature. It genuinely looked like an 8-foot tall bat with long legs and hands crouched up high on a tree. It also had bright red reflecting eyes (kind of like how a cat’s eyes reflect), which makes me think it was what I saw before. I watched it for a few seconds and then it stiffened up and seemed to vanish instantaneously. So I guess keep a look out for the bat creature.
‘That really DIY level’ Culture of house shows continues to thrive in Greensboro
by Maggie Marshall
he room was muggy and smelled of sweat and cheap beer. Bodies squished together like sardines and nearby, white posters featuring black panthers that said “An attack against one, is an attack against all,” hung on the walls. Haphazardly thrown red and purple string lights sparkled across the room. A guitar stretched and the hi-hat crashed. The bodies began to move as one and they tried hard not to fall over into the equipment. It was so loud, it was hard to think. Outside, people conversed over cigarettes, intellectual chats about films, bands, books or politics. That was White House circa 2019.

guitarist/vocalist Ryan Mole met in 2022 and began to write music together under the name bedrumor. Originally a duo piece, the band has since then evolved into a four piece. They performed their first house show a little over a year ago at Doggie House.
For generations, Greensboro musicians have opened up their homes for upcoming bands to perform. Andrew Dudek, who attended UNCG in the mid 1990s, was one of them. From 1993-97 he hosted a range of house shows at Dick Street, a small, white house with four bedrooms and no heat in the winter, that at one point, housed 11 art students.
“We weren’t looking to be a venue,” he says. “Ultimately it was a group of friends getting a house for the first time. We wanted to build a ramp in the back to skate, and we were all into the punk-rock music scene, so we had been to a few house shows. We had one show in our house and it snowballed into bands calling bands telling us.”
Back then, Dudek had to network by going to shows across the state or in Virginia and giving out his phone number to bands. Zines like “Book Your Own Fucking Life” also told advertised about upcoming shows and bands.
“We got tons of calls; it was like every day,” Dudek recalls. “I started making show flyers for shows that we had for the whole month. We were busy.”
Sometimes shows were held at Dick Street four nights in a row and featured bands from across the country. Dudek remembered one show in particular, when Chicagobased band Los Crudos performed. They had five bands play that night and the house was so packed that attendees stood shoulder to shoulder throughout the rooms. A dollar per band was charged at the door. By the end of the night, Dudek says he gave each band “some crazy amount of money like $800 each or something.”
Over time, Dick Street took on a personality across the state, even nationwide, Dudek remembers.
“The crowd was fun; it was a fun place to be,” he says.
And for college kids who had no other place to either play or appreciate live music, house shows became a refuge.
When the pandemic erupted in 2020, the scene was dampened, leaving many yearning for that feeling of playing to a supportive community. But those like UNCG alumni and musician James McLaughlin and his housemate Tyler Monroe continued the tradition, hosting shows in their home, Swag House.
The experience McLaughlin had frequenting house shows pre-COVID as a young college student who also played at places like Bird House, White House, Ice House or Road Closed, inspired him to start hosting shows himself. One house in particular, the Trailer Park, in Raleigh, opened his eyes to the possibility. After he attended a few shows there, McLaughlin said “[he] was slapped in the face with the realization, Wow, you can just have people on your back porch and it can be huge.”
Being able to be a musician “on that really DIY level” called to him.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, other bands have taken up the mantle of continuing the house show tradition in Greensboro. Bassist/vocalist Lazuli Ortiz and
“House shows make live music more accessible to everyone, especially younger generations,” Ortiz says. “They provide a space to interact with other musicians and music-enjoyers and inspire people to be more involved in the local scene. Greensboro has a lot of different sounds and is like a melting pot of genres.”
The band is excited to see the return of house shows post-pandemic.
“It shows that there is a strong necessity for the local house show scene to thrive in Greensboro,” Ortiz says. “We’ll be staying in Greensboro as long as it feels right for us. We don’t plan on leaving anytime soon because we love the local DIY scene.”
What started out simply as an idea, Doggie House soon became the catalyst to the return of house shows in Greensboro after 2020. Jackie Hines, resident of Doggie House, says their roommates studied music production at Elon University and had a ton of music equipment, which helped them start creating and producing songs.
“We decided to do something collectively with that,” Hines said. “We went to Home Depot and bought the materials to build a stage and built the stage ourselves. Then, we started inviting local Greensboro bands and artists to perform in our backyard.”
Doggie House quickly gained a following. They hosted shows bi-monthly where people came out not only to see the bands, but to see the space. They wanted to witness first hand the white pipe stage with a tarp featuring the Doggie House logo in the center and the dangling fairy lights to the side.
In November 2023, Doggie House closed its doors. As a farewell, they hosted an Undercover show where all the bands performed cover sets.
“It was a fun community, and it was fun to make connections and establish relationships with people,” Hines says. “I’ll miss it.”
Although Doggie House is no longer a host, the group is still together, pursuing other creative projects under the same name.
A veteran to the scene, musician Ashley Virginia mentions how house shows provided a place to really “cut her teeth and develop a stage presence.”
Prior to the pandemic, Virginia attended shows at Tuba House, Grime House, Blue House, White House, Dijon Palace, Pope Palace and gained inspiration and encouragement from others to start her own band.
“Having a scene that is local and starts at the grassroots level is super important,” she explains. “When I first started I didn’t have the experience or the connections to get booked at venues, so having this DIY space opened a lot of doors.”
Today, Virginia has quit her day job to pursue a career in music, periodically picking up gigs and touring across the United States, and living nomadically in her camper van. She says that without Greensboro house shows, the trajectory of her life would have been very different.
“There’s something about figuring it out and doing it yourself and not waiting for the industry to provide opportunities, because we at the local level can be the industry,” she says. “When your music is rooted in community, I think something really beautiful can come out of that.”
