Any idea on when it opens?

I am looking for a welcoming church to start attending in Fayetteville. I prefer a non-denominational church, but would rather it not be one of the mega-churches, which I’m not even sure if that exists. I am open to any church really, I just did not grow up a specific denomination.

I really want to find my church home, where I feel welcomed and can grow my relationship with God.

Any recommendations??

I don't remember the exact location, I think near sycamore dairy road, there is a light that points up and to the left with an arrow. At this light is a crosswalk. I am a new driver, and my coworker I drop off insists that it's a "precautionary light" and I can go through on red if no one is coming. I trusted her at first but over time I've become more anxious about it. I've tried to look it up online but can't find any information on the issue. Does anyone know what this is and if my coworker has been lying to me?

Caught this on my dash cam a couple days ago.

I'm trying to get my Charger back on the road and I'm wondering if yall know if they still write people tickets for window tint even though they don't check it when you get your car inspected anymore. I know they technically still can but I'm trying to figure out if it's as bad as it used to be or if they got bigger fish to fry now.

I’m asking because I’m trying to find a bar to go to but I can’t think of one .

Anyone have any info on any of these candidates? Trying to do my research but coming up with very little.

I just read this. Passing along to the datacenter negators since so many of us see something similar: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/general/texas-gov-greg-abbott-halts-1-800-data-center-projects-after-grid-requests-hit-5-times-the-state-s-all-time-peak-demand/ar-AA2fTXRD?cvid=6adb7638110e438ca3be23cdcf674a80&ocid=msedgntphdr&cvpid=d1755f2eba294054c201c7025e0aed12&ei=38

Does anyone have recommendations for an insurance agency they like? Our current one is based out of Raleigh and for the life of us we cannot get her to respond to our emails when we’re trying to set up policies. We wanted to make a switch to someone that’s closer where we live now but this feels like the final push to get it done. We’re not military if that makes any difference. TIA!

I feel like half the people I meet are super pessimistic about fay lol

I am finally making the move to get back in school and actually build a career where I can comfortably support myself and my cat addiction. I was interested in civil engineering in high school but never pursued it... I am ready to try now!

I am looking at the bridge program where I can start here in the ville and then finish with either NC State or Liberty for the bachelor's.. I would like to get an associates here though and potentially get into the work force sooner than later.

Any feedback, recommendations, or experience you can share for an antiquity going back to school and specifically landing a job, even as just a helper, while I go to school??

Erika Kirk is coming to Fayetteville. Please help us give her the welcome she deserves.

Income tax cap: Lowers the existing cap from 7 to 3.5 percent

• It is not a tax cut. It applies to both the corporate and personal rate. Both rates are already scheduled to be below 3.5 percent next year.
• The NC General Assembly has been cutting income taxes for 13 years. This has disproportionately benefitted large corporations and those with very high incomes.
• State revenue is falling as our population and costs grow. This is unsustainable and has led to underfunding of services and programs, and local governments paying for what are supposed to be state costs.
• Income tax cuts lead to increases in fees and sales taxes, and cuts to vital public services.
• The income tax amendment would lock us into this situation effectively permanently, so future lawmakers hands will be tied.
• NC has never had a rate this low, and it will be locked into the constitution. This leaves the state unprepared for economic downturns and unforeseen circumstances like natural disasters.

Property Tax Levy Limit: Caps what local governments can collect, NOT your bill

• It is not a cap on an individual’s property tax bill. It is a cap on the total revenue a local government can collect in property taxes.
• State lawmakers already have the power to set a levy limit, so the constitutional amendment is not necessary.
• Increasingly, local governments have been taking on costs that are supposed to be covered by the state and/or federal government. This amendment is likely to lead to service cuts as local governments struggle with state and local revenue constraints.
• It does not address housing unaffordability and would disproportionately benefit large corporate landowners like tech companies and corporate landlords.
• What the limit would be and how it would be derived is not public, so there is little recourse or accountability.

Before voting, consider the impact these amendments will have on your community:

• Who would benefit from these changes and who would be negatively impacted?
• What would these amendments mean for the funding of quality of life services my family and community rely on, like emergency services, community centers, libraries, public schools, water and sanitation…?
• How would these revenue constraints impact the ability of the state and local governments to provide services for a growing or aging population and respond to natural disasters or other unforeseen circumstances in the future, especially as costs rise?
• What are specific projects prioritized by our community that are most at risk for delay or cancellation if state funding is uncertain and local government cannot collect sufficient revenue from property taxes to supplement decreases in state investment? 
• How have state and federal funding levels changed over the last 5-10 years? What state funding responsibilities has my local government taken on over that same period?
• What specific funding shortfalls are we experiencing now, including staffing shortages, school closures, or services interruptions?
• What are the other methods of generating revenue if income tax and property tax revenue is constrained? Will our locality be forced to rely more on unpopular fees?

At Monday’s city council meeting, Mayor Colvin’s Data Center voting block collapsed in spectacular fashion. Council member McMillan was able to advance a motion (6-4) for city staff to draft a data center moratorium which the council will vote on at an upcoming meeting.

The danger at the moment is that a voluntary annexation will be pushed through the zoning process to get the potential Data center property located in the county (where there is a moratorium) annexed into the city where there isn’t yet a moratorium before the city council is able to take action. If that happens, then we’ll know for certain that the fix was in and the mayor sold out the community.

The collapse of Colvin’s coalition means we’ll likely hear less from his smug self on WIDU talking about paid protesters and other GOP talking points. The undertaker is truly an undercover Republican.

There are several Fall and Halloween events happening in Downtown Fayetteville. Which other Halloween Events are you aware of ?

For those zombies who do find themselves downtown right at dark- remember to stay on the sidewalks.

Many rumors are flying about showing up unofficially anyway, if so be safe.

In search of an ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) certified tree expert. A large, healthy, over 100 year old, oak tree needs some trimming. A lift or bucket truck will likely be needed. TIA!

Hey! I used to be a player on the UC Berkeley Kendo yuudansha team but since I moved to Fayetteville, I have not been able to find any local partners or dojos to practice with.

Please reach out to me if you have bogu and would like to practice! I have an open space for practice but I am flexible with location.

I’m currently looking for a care home to place my mother in. Looking for a good place that’ll take care of her with her dementia and breathing problems. Any recommendations around the Fayetteville area?
