They're definitely here. They even have another brand in certain FL markets called "Fresco Y Mas"... which are former Winn Dixie locations that have a better hispanic product selection.Winn Dixie is they still exist is of same quality.
And Virginia as well.
We're looking at both NC and VA to move to.
Too bad Raleigh literally shuts down when just a few inches of snow hits the pavement. When I lived in Winston Salem the city shut down during a light snowfall years ago when I was there.
One odd thing about going back for Xmas is all the political flags and banners, it's so cultish
Yes it is a shock to some who move from the North to the South and see that a major city shuts down when snow fall accumulation is 2 inches.Because it doesn't snow enough to have the infrastructure they have in the northeast, which is something people often don't realize/consider. I live in Atlanta and we have the same problem here -- there's just no reason to spend the money on all of the necessary equipment when it's so rarely used. No one can really drive safely on ice, but it's generally not an issue in the northeast because they can easily salt everything, plus it's usually consistently cold enough to remain as snow instead of melting and refreezing as ice.

We're unsure, but likely Raleigh. It's still at early level, since returning to PR is a possibility.Which area of NC? I'm from there and go back regularly.
The last few I know of going in are in solidly middle to upper middle class neighborhoods. They have a nice but smallish selection of organic produce, meats, packaged vegan and allergen safe items and almost always a large bin or 2 of avocados.I think when they first started opening Aldi's, they seemed to put them into lower income areas, but now they seem to have started putting them into lower middle and mid middle class areas.
Freaking out on dangerous heat wave doesn’t compare. Raleigh / Winston Salem where I lived is scared beyond belief and shuts down the city with two inches of powder.Because they don't understand the context.
It works in reverse, too, when you see somewhere in the northeast freaking out about a dangerous heat wave because it's in the 90s for a few days. But there's missing context there as well, in that many places there don't have central air conditioning, if they have any at all.

The constant random “factoids” are often of dubious merit.It does compare.
Also, maybe go back and actually read what I wrote instead of just repeating yourself and coming across as wildly ignorant in the process.
Cities in the northeast would shut down for a couple of inches of snow (more importantly, ice) too if they didn't have the equipment to handle it. It's not some magical difference -- even Toronto has essentially shut down from ice storms.

Apparently back in the day you've never witnessed at MGM Studios, Osborne Jennings Christmas lights on NY Street, snow machines included ( when they actually were working ).WDI developing snow making machines confirmed
If it is the Confederate flag, that was discreetly removed from the wall of flags at Epcot American Adventure a number of years ago.I grew up in VA, its wonderful. Might move back when I'm older. Lived in a small town on the Chesapeake bay, good times. One odd thing about going back for Xmas is all the political flags and banners, it's so cultish
Can’t really argue.Institutions of higher learning (a term becoming obsolete) are supposed to be a place stimulating to thinking, gaining more knowledge and a beginning for new / improved concepts. Such places are now stagnating and becoming programing locations for stale, antisocial and divisive concepts. Trade schools are evolving to have greater value because something constructive is actually learned.
There are many others…and that was my point In posting that NEA assessment…US News is very reputable to the point that hospitals will typically create huge banners of their rankings with the publication and hang them outside their hospital.
It looks like the NEA rankings are more about teacher pay and benefits while US News is student performance. The NEA is the nations largest teacher union. I would agree with the NEA assessment that teachers in California are compensated much better than in Florida but I believe that US News better reflects student performance.
Had a friend go to trade school. Made good money until his mid 40s. He had to get out of his trade job due to a number of injuries on the job, sore back, bad knees , at times in dangerous conditions in his physical job.Institutions of higher learning (a term becoming obsolete) are supposed to be a place stimulating to thinking, gaining more knowledge and a beginning for new / improved concepts.
