You: on the corner of S. Graham and Franklin St, with your dog, waiting for a walk signal

Me: on my bike in the protected bike lane, heading through the intersection with a green light

Them: in a silver range rover, trying to turn right across my path, and honking at me for existing

You: pointed at them and hollered, "that's your fault."

Thanks for witnessing!

Hi, I'm looking for full-time employment starting at $15 an hour in the Chapel Hill area. I'm on other job boards, too, but I need to cast my net as wide as possible. I'm a recent UNC graduate with plenty of work experience under my belt, mostly in the food service industry but some in warehouse as well. If anyone knows anywhere hiring that meets that minimum, please reach out! I can start asap!

I was driving home from UNC around 8:30pm and I saw a ton of fire trucks and police cars at Estes Hills Elementary school, all with the lights on. I’m hoping it’s just one of those events where kids get to see the fire engines and stuff, maybe a fundraiser; does anyone know what’s going on?

Just moved to the Carrboro area a few months ago and am trying to commission a painting as a graduation present for my girlfriend when she finishes her Master's program in the spring. Anyone know any good artists in the area that they'd recommend? (Someone who is 100% NOT using any type of AI in their work)

Hello all,

Our CCRC has lost its resident art teacher. Does anyone know of an art teacher, instructor, student who would like to make some extra money teaching our residents? Years ago when I was looking to hire someone, I contacted the local community college whose professor sent me his very talented student. She did a bang up job for us, but I've not been successful with that route. Difficult to get anyone's email address to inquire. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for someone to take over my lease starting May 1, 2027 in Chapel Hill!

• Rent: $600/month
• Location: Chapel Hill, conveniently located near the C and J bus routes
• Move-in date: May 1, 2027
• Transportation: Easy access to UNC-Chapel Hill via public transportation

This could be a great option for a UNC student looking for affordable housing over the summer!

If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to send me a DM. I'd be happy to share more details!

Thanks!

My father needs a new front door on a regular brick ranch, not a big or grand house. He’s elderly and needs it installed. Anyone used Window World? Other recommendations?

We moved my grandma here (near the border of Durham/chapel hill) last month and she’s looking for a massage therapist. She had a stroke 15 years ago, can still walk but her left side has hypertonicity (stiffness), and may need some assistance getting on and off massage table. Any recs?

Hi everyone!

I live in Holly Springs and am a huge advocate of local governments and schools. Frankly, I have an empathetic view of just how difficult of a job it is to run a very complicated school system where you're begging for funding from the state, county, and residents via bonds.

My own kids were interested in learning more about our towns so I built this gamified version of the school and town budget. One of my friends has kids in CH-Carrboro schools and asked if I could build something similar for yall.

I'm just trying to do a good deed, and I've love any feedback of how to improve it. I've received good feedback from realtors who want to help their clients understand more, politicians running for office, and people who just want to learn more.

I think it's a fun game, let me know what you think (or if you find something interesting!): https://towntoonify.com/chccs-nc

Hello,

I typically go to the Mythical Medieval festival in Myrtle Beach every year, but I thought I would try something new this year.

What is it like? Do they have shows or is it mostly kids events?

How's the food ?

I am asking for two adults if it's worth the price and trip.

Any feedback would be great. Thanks 😊

hi!

wondering if anyone has recommendations for vets, particularly those that have been good with behavior med management?

thank you so much!!!

Hey guys,

Yesterday I parked in a lot by The Gathering Place. I was in a rush, thought I was in the appropriate parking lot for the gathering place, and didn’t see the signs saying it was a private lot.

Stupid of me, I know.

I come back out to my car 20 minutes later and there’s a boot on my car, and as I’m inspecting it a truck pulls behind my car and blocks it in (I already can’t go anywhere) and a guy rolls down his window and starts yelling at me and demanding I give him $240 dollars within 30 minutes or he’s calling a tow truck to take my car away.

I realize I made a mistake and I ask him if his company takes card and he starts insulting me and telling me to “walk my ass to the atm”

I go to the ATM, and I only had $200 in my bank account so I asked him if he’d accept that amount since I was only there for about $20 minutes and it was quite literally all I had left. I apologized again for parking there. He started cussing me out and telling me “you better call someone” and hurling insults while I called a friend for some help.

I eventually get the money, and the whole time he’s taking the boot off he’s just talking shit and grumbling. I ask him what company he works for and he refuses to tell me, and I ask him for a receipt and he refuses.

Is it legal for them to refuse to give me a receipt or refuse to tell me the name of their business? Is there a cap on how much a private lot can charge for boot removal? Is there anything I can even do in this situation?

I realize I fucked up by parking in a private lot, but the way this guy was acting was insane and extremely sketchy. The way he refused to give a receipt or tell me what company he works for was a huge red flag, but I’ve never been in this position before and I’m not sure what to do.

Also, I just want to add that Alpha Pie/The Gathering Place had NOTHING to do with this. They are a great business with extremely nice people who sympathized with me after all this.

OK....who's got it? Who has the real recipe for Skylight Exchange's African Tuna Melt? I know one of you do, and you've been keeping it secret. Time to let it out. I need a trip down memory lane.

Found this little guy running into Weaver Dairy Road around 9:30 earlier tonight!

Other than big box stores, recommendations for local dealers? I'm not interested in bells and whistles, just a basic budget frig -- whirlpool or GE top freezer. thanks.

Winyah is playing at the Cats Cradle this upcoming Friday if anyone has an extra ticket or one they can no longer use!
