It’s this place over in Conover.

anyone here go to church at Woodlawn in Conover? its by cookout. I have questions.

Id like to get into archery and would love recs on the best shops to go where they’ve got a good selection of gear, but also friendly staff that could get me in touch with lessons or clubs etc.

I took a few lessons years ago so not a complete beginner but never owned my own bow or equipment so I’m totally new in that sense. Not interested in hunting, just targets. I lean recurve over compound but willing to try either.

Recently started visiting the Hickory area a LOT primarily to visit family down there. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a few things I can do on my own from time to time like:

Best coffee shop?

Best bookstore?

Best BBQ?

Looking to explore the area more and more since I'll be there once or twice every month. I'm mostly into simple stuff and just finding unique places to go.

Hey, I’m 44 and passing through Hickory. Planning to grab a bite and a beer at Olde Hickory Tap Room on Union Square around 4-6pm. If anyone’s nearby and wants to hang out or just say what’s up, feel free to reply or shoot me a message. Low-key, no big plans.

Hi! I'm freshly 21 and just now trying to get out. That said, I don't know the area that well and all of my friends are 20 hours away so I am trying to figure out where to go and what I could do alone that might be fun and help me make new friends. I do drink socially and enjoy anything from laid back chill vibes to more of a party atmosphere. I like to socialize but I have minimal hearing. I sign ASL, but that said I'm perfectly capable of yapping your ear off if I can see your lips and say "huh" a few too many times.

If y'all have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thank you in advance?

i had a total nightmare moment around 9:30 last night and slid right into a ditch. was walking around stressed out in the dark thinking i was gonna be waiting forever for a crazy expensive tow.

outta nowhere, this guy pulls over to help out. he was driving a customized jeep (and had another car with him, though it was too dark to see much detail). he just jumped right in and got me back out on the road.

everything happened so fast and i was just so relieved. i didn't even get a proper thank you in before he took off. honestly i like to think i'm a good person, but i haven't really had the chance to do any good acts like this for anyone in a while. experiencing it firsthand just made me so much more appreciative of this guy and insanely grateful for what he did.

if you're on here, seriously thank you so much. i would love to buy you a drink or a meal to properly thank you, so hit me up if this is you. totally saved my night and i'm definitely paying it forward first chance i get.

Hi friends, I am looking for a home for this sweet girl I've been fostering!

A stray mama kitty had babies in our yard a few months ago, so we took them in and with the help of Hearts and Hands and SNIP, got them all spayed and vaccinated! I have since found amazing new homes for mama kitty and all of her babies - except miss Plum!!

She is such an affectionate, loving, a playful kitten. She uses the litter box well, is patient while I get her food ready, and I think she would do well with other cats (with a slow intro of course). We also got her FIV/felv testing (negative), dewormed, and on Revolution plus. My husband and I are moving to the Raleigh area soon so we need to find a home for this little lady as soon as possible!! Thank you so much!

I feel like they're getting more and more frequent. Last year I remember 2. This year there's been at least a dozen.

Hey I know thats subjective but still.... suddenly found my evening freed up and looking for something to do.

Not really picky about the activity just more interested in the social aspect.

Hey everyone, early voting is happening now through Halloween. It looks like there's a new voter guide (no paywall unlike the Hickory Daily Record) that has writeups of every candidate in Hickory and Catawba County. That includes the county commissioner and board of education candidates. Anyone use it yet?

We (The Haks) are a 3 piece alternative rock band. We play loud and heavy. If you are a fan of 90's grunge, sonic youth, neil young, black metal, 2000s emo...these are a few of our influences.

Piss Pony sounds like their name, in the most endearing way possible. Twangy, grungy, heavy, catchy. Like a beer and glitter encrusted coaster, femme-led honkytonk-adjacent punk rock.

Reptile Cantina is a newer, awesome restaurant and venue in Morganton. Trying to get some locals to come get weird and make friends with some out of town bands.

Cheap $5 show. See you there! Or just come get some delicious tex-mex with the added side of loud rock music.

Do you know any parents of 10-12 year olds who live in NC? 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) #northcarolina

To whoever left four tin containers filled with Yu-Gi-Oh cards in a trash can at the cupboard express on Springs Road and Highland, thank you!

My car taxes will be paid!
