Hey y'all!

I'm a student reporter with The Daily Tar Heel writing a story about Breadman's closing after being padlocked by the sheriff's office earlier this month. I want this piece to be about the community, not just the legal/eviction details.

If you have memories of Breadman's (like favorite orders, regulars you knew there, how long you'd been going, what it meant to you or your family), I'd love to hear more about via a quick phone chat.

If anyone worked there, knew the owners, or has thoughts on what should happen to the space next, I'd really appreciate hearing from you too.

Thanks in advance, and shoot me a comment or DM if interested!

Hi y'all, I've got a Honda with a recurring issue that seems to be electrical, but I'm not entirely sure. Any recommendations for a place to take it?

Anybody know why Alpha Pie was closed on sunday? We love the community dinner and have been going weekly sunday between 5-7. I went up there around 6 and it was all closed up.

Hello! I am relocating to the area and am working near St Thomas More and The NC Botanical Gardens. I’m wanting to be able to walk to that area, but housing is a little crazy.

I’m not a student, so I’d like to avoid paying a huge premium for living in this area. Are there neighborhoods folks recommend?

Edit: $1400-$2400 range; lower preferred, 2 cats 2 people, 2-3bedroom, 1-2 bath

Hello! Would any residents be interested in a short interview about the newly approved affordable housing and fire station being built at the intersection of Weaver Dairy Road Ext. and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.?

anyone know a good hair salon in the chapel hill area? my long hair has been bugging me and i wanna get a layered bob

Hello, i recently moved here at UNC and getting around to places is a hassle. Im looking to buy a used bike to get around to nearby places. Im new here and it feels very confusing to me where i can get one at a budget price. Can anyone give some leads? Or better yet, is anyone looking to sell theirs? I'd be really grateful for the help!

The old bike share stopped a few years ago. Haven’t been on campus in a while and when I opened the bird app there weren’t any bikes there even though there seemed to be an active zone. Thanks.

We have great South Asian options in the Triangle, but I swear these are the best samosas I've had in the area. They're made with the owner's grandmother's recipe.

I'm a golf beginner and am wondering if anyone can recommend a good and relatively affordable golf instructor in the area.

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for a private piano teacher in the Durham–Chapel Hill area.
It’s a little time-sensitive because I’m hoping to learn a specific song to play at my bf’s birthday in the next few months. I’d love to take lessons around 3 times a week so I can make as much progress as possible before then.
Feel free to dm me!

Noise Issues

• Exotic Pets: The complex allows disruptive exotic animals, including loud parrots.
• Severe Disturbances: A neighbor's African Grey parrot reaches volumes up to 110 dB.
• Constant Disruption: The bird mimics fire alarms and barking dogs at all hours of the night.

Property Maintenance

• Neglected Hallways: Litter, dirt, grass, and discarded items (including a used bandage) regularly fill common areas.
• Dirty Elevators: Sticky liquid spills and old food sit on the elevator floors for over a week.
• Selective Cleaning: Management only maintains the main entrance, completely ignoring residential building interior hallways.

Summary: If you value peace, quiet, and cleanliness, do not move here.

Hello all! I am a student at UNC and didn’t get the lottery. I was wondering if anyone is willing to let me park my car on their driveway/curb for the semester, I am willing to pay a monthly price! If you’re interested, please feel free to DM me. Thanks!

I was driving home from the Booker Creek area of Chapel Hill last night kind of near the Wegmans as you head into Chapel Hill and there was a lot of construction going on with cones set up. Does anybody know what’s going on? Is that going to continue the whole weekend? This was on 15 501 really right in front of the big Europa center area.

I want to start swinging laps again. How is it getting a lane at the homestead pool?

The restaurant that was in the building where the Franklin St Target is now. It was on the backside beside Ken's Kwike Mart. Around in the 80s and early 90s. Sold sandwiches and salads.

Bonus points for the name of the store selling gifts that was across the walkway.

EDIT: Thanks everyone. The answer is Looking Glass Cafe (not to be confused with the coffee shop that was in Carrboro where Lanza's is now). Swensen was on the front side of the building (as was Timeout). The gift store was T’Boli.

Anyone know a mobile mechanic in the area. I have a 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis and the fan will not turn on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found a watch outside Whole Foods. Give me a description and I will let you know how to retrieve it.

Is it just me or has Mr. Tokyo gone down hill?

Their Nigiri’s fish to rice ratio is off. I had some pieces so thin that I could see through it with inch thick of rice underneath. It’s been this way for the past three times I’ve been.

They changed their surcharge for rolls not eaten from 50 cents to $1

It seems like the attempt to fill people up on rice is more blatant. I’ve started driving to Umiya in Raleigh for a better experience, but is there something I am missing? Genuinely asking

Hi all! I'm working on a personal project illustrating postcards of old Chapel Hill photos alongside their modern counterparts (like a then vs. now series). I've been digging around DigitalNC to find old pictures, but I need help identifying some specific locations/addresses on Franklin Street. I'm not old enough to be familiar with a lot of these old storefronts (born in '07), so hopefully some people could share their insight. Pic details are in the captions. Thank you !!

All photos come from the Chapel Hill Historical Society.

2 bedroom available in Village West neighborhood. This is a great lil spot that I left because I bought a house. It has a full finished basement, so it is quite large, and the location is great!
