SUMMARY: As Memorial Day weekend approaches, many travelers have already hit the roads, particularly around I40 and South Saunders Street, experiencing steady but expectedly heavier traffic tomorrow. Travelers express excitement for the holiday but frustration with congestion and reckless driving. Many plan to relax by barbecuing and spending time with family, like Sean Shanker at the lake. To avoid traffic headaches, locals recommend leaving early, ideally before midday, and packing water and snacks. The NC DOT’s Click It or Ticket campaign reminds drivers to prioritize safety by buckling up and driving carefully throughout the busy weekend. Preparation is essential for a smoother trip.

SUMMARY: Five years after George Floyd’s death under the knee of Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin, community members reflect on the lasting impact. Floyd’s death sparked a global movement against police brutality and systemic racism, bringing awareness many lacked before the video surfaced. A college professor and student emphasize the importance of education and open dialogue in understanding racial violence and inequities in law enforcement. Former Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson acknowledges progress in policing but expresses uncertainty about future changes. The ongoing conversation, especially in classrooms, remains vital for fostering awareness and promoting social justice nationwide.

“I remember when seeing the video for the first time just feeling shocked, feeling pain, feeling hurt, confusion.”

SUMMARY: Food delivery has grown popular for its convenience, but rising costs are making it less worthwhile. Drivers struggle to earn a living due to high gas prices, causing delivery fees to increase significantly. In some cases, delivery fees can nearly double the price of a meal. For example, a $32 order might end up costing $48 after adding delivery, service fees, tax, and tip—sometimes arriving cold. Additionally, some restaurants charge higher prices on apps than in-house to offset losses from fewer drink and dessert sales. If delivery costs equal the food price, it might be better to avoid ordering to save money.

Some restaurants charge a higher price for the same dish delivered versus what those who dine in pay.
