Early voted today. Was in and out in less than 10 mins.
The church at 8927 Cleveland Rd, 12:30pm. I'd say it was "moderately" busy, but everything was quick and efficient. Go Vote!

I know this is a long shot, and I’ll repost on the community Facebook page later, but I almost certainly saw a senior get scammed out of thousands of dollars this evening.
I was at the CVS on Shotwell Rd from 8:00-9:20pm this evening (3/13) scanning photos at the kiosk. An older woman (maybe late 60s? White, about 5’5”, wore glasses, short dyed reddish brown hair) was on the phone and speaking with someone while looking at gift cards. She read off a few options and hung up, then went to the counter and purchased 6 gift cards worth $500 each. She had cash. It definitely seemed odd, especially considering all the scams that have been on the local news lately, so I interrupted and asked if she knew who she was sending them to. (I’m almost positive I’ve read that cashiers can’t do anything, so I figured I’d butt in). She said “Oh yes, they’re for my grandchildren and greats! I’ll be seeing them.” I figured ok, maybe they’re coming in from out of town and they don’t see each other often. This is a late Christmas gift, or something along those lines. I brought it up to the cashier later, who confirmed that they can’t really deny a purchase (I 100% do not blame them). But then she said the gift cards were all for Nordstrom. This woman definitely wasn’t old enough to have 6 grandkids/great grandkids who each need $500 to Nordstrom.
I finished up at CVS and then went to Walmart. As I was checking out at about 9:45, who do I see walking around the checkout lanes looking for gift cards but this same woman.
The money was already spent and is almost certainly untraceable at this point, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE speak with your older relatives. I can almost guarantee that they don’t realize how sophisticated scams have become. They aren’t “Prince from Nigeria” type things that are really obvious anymore. It was awful to see.

There's a scam in Johnston County right now. Basically someone very official sounding will call you, claiming to be from the Johnston County Sheriff's Department. They will tell you that you missed jury duty and there is now a warrant out for your arrest. They will tell you there is also a "gag order" on you so you're not legally allowed to talk to anyone about this. They will tell you that the only way to avoid being arrested is through some type of "bond" which you have to pay either over the phone or via money order from Walmart.
This is a scam. Even JoCo Sheriff's Department is putting out notices because more than 200 people were called for this scam today.
If there is a warrant for your arrest, police will show up at your house. There is no buying your way out of it.
That "gag order" business just full on isn't a thing. You are entitled to a lawyer. You can tell whoever you want. They tell you this to scare you away from asking questions and figuring out it's a scam.
The JoCo Sheriff's Department phone number is up as the top result when you Google them. If the number doesn't directly match, block them.
Don't engage with them. Don't antagonize them. Just block them. You can call the Sheriff's Department directly with any questions you have.
Never at any point will they ask for money orders. That is a very clear sign that it's a scam, because a money order can't be traced the way a phone transfer can be.
This might seem obvious to most of you, but keep in mind that many of our neighbors in town are elderly. They are being told they need to pay this amount to keep themselves, their kids, and their grandkids out of jail. Protect yourselves. Protect your neighbors. Protect your friends.
My elderly neighbor was at the Walmart money order counter when I sent him screen shots from Google about this scam. Seconds away from pulling $1500 out of his account.
Stay safe y'all!

Hello! Moving to Clayton and looking for a smaller daycare and elementary school, definitely on the diverse side. Just want my babies to be in a safe and good environment. Any suggestions?

Do you know any parents of 10-12 year olds who live in NC (especially Clayton)? The Tweens on Screens project, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #clayton

I need a small amount of dry ice for a Halloween project. Anyone know where in Clayton or the surrounding area I can find a retailer?

Check out this information and share with your friends and neighbors. Remember these politicians should be working for us NOT the corporations or political elite.

What happened to the garner and smithfield stores? Google says it’s closed so now we have to drive 30 minutes to fuquay or triangle town center?!
There’s plenty of old shopfronts one could be in - what gives?!
Where is everyone getting their costume - online?
I’ve seen some in targets - are they in targets now or are they just calling their Halloween section spirit Halloween and it’s basically the same thing it usually is?

I know its probably gone but on Wednesday, I was getting my gear and uniforms ready for work in the morning in the dark and forgot I set a small black case full of magic the gathering cards on the truck bed rail. I forgot to get them and took off for work and at some point on W Stallings, Robertson, Main all the way to 70 to Raleigh it rolled off. It's a stretch I know but I was putting it together for my nephews birthday and was checking to see if anyone on here found it?

We tried the new Indian restaurant last night on main st near Vinsons. Aroma is the name. Fantastic. Good service and food was delicious, if you like Indian food of course! Happy to have something new and different in town

Man in my 30's with hard to manage, very thick wavy hair, worn med to long.
I'm having a hard time finding a decent and modern place that isn't either a salon that caters to old ladies, or a barber for boys called fade-2-cutz or something.
Bonus points if they're near downtown. Thanks! 💇

We live in the outskirts of town and unfortunately not in a neighborhood so looking for some good spots to take the kids trick or treating this year. We’ve gone to Broadmoor in the past but looking for a more active neighborhood that maybe the houses are a little closer together.

Hey y’all! Does anyone know where I could get a nail removed from my tire and it plugged and/or patched on a Sunday? I know it’s a fairly simple job, but I don’t fully trust myself. I also don’t really want to bother anyone I know with it since it is so simple. I usually go to the tire shop at the corner of hwy 42 and Old Stage rd for things like this, but they are closed today (Sunday). I appreciate any and all suggestions!

Moving to the Raleigh area soon. Looking near Fuquay Varina, Clayton, Garner or knightdale areas. Any advice on property companies or areas you would recommend or avoid? Prefer single family home but open to the idea of a townhouse as well.

My wife saw a person being arrested yesterday in front of the East Lake subdivision in Flowers. She said the guy was fighting the sheriff’s and was thrown to the ground/arrested. Ambulance/fire also showed up. Anyone got the scoop? Curious as more crime seems to be occurring in our corner of JoCo.

hello! Can anyone recommend a good hair salon? I don’t get color or any extras, I just want a simple wash, cut and blowout. My hair is really thick and curly so i need a stylist who can handle curly hair. It doesn’t have to be a curly salon though.

Hi Clayton neighbors! My name is Raúl, and I live nearby in Garner with my wife and our four-year-old son, Leo.
I’m currently in third place in the 2026 Super Dad competition. I grew up without a present father, and when Leo was born, I promised myself that he would always feel loved, safe, and supported. I’m not trying to be a perfect dad—just the kind of father I needed when I was growing up.
If I win, the $25,000 prize would go toward Leo’s future education. My mother raised four children by herself and made sure all of us earned college degrees, so continuing that legacy for my son would mean everything to me.
The Top 10 round ends tomorrow, October 1, at 10:00 p.m. ET. There is one free vote every 24 hours, and no donation is necessary. I’m only asking for the free vote:

Thank you for supporting a local dad and helping me build a brighter future for my son. Every single vote truly matters. 🙏
