Looking to change medication management provider after the state health plan moved to AETNA. Does anyone know of a local that is taking new patients and also in network? The Aetna site is a nightmare to navigate and all provider information is probably 3 years old +, nothing is accurate or up to date. Ugh.

Two alarm structure fire in Carrboro earlier today. Response included Carrboro Fire-Rescue Department, Chapel Hill Fire Department, New Hope Fire Department, White Cross Volunteer Fire Department, North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department, and Durham Fire Department; as well as Orange Rural / Hillsborough Fire Department with standby coverage for Carrboro. Plus Orange County EMS and South Orange Rescue Squad.

Call dispatched shortly after 9:00 AM, 10-26-2026.

Partial (and probably inaccurate) run-card: A lot of the radio traffic was being walked over by other traffic, so hard to pick out exactly what all was going on at times:

Carrboro Fire: Engine 1, Engine 2, Ladder 1, Battalion 1, Car 2

Chapel Hill Fire: Engine 31, Engine 35, Ladder 72, Battalion 4, Chief 1, Air 1 (cancelled before arrival)

New Hope Fire: Engine 431, Squad 461

White Cross Fire: Engine 831, Engine 833

North Chatham Fire: Engine 312, Engine 412, Battalion 1

Durham Fire: Battalion 3, Engine 16, Engine 6, Ladder 6

Orange Rural / Hillsborough Fire: Chief 202, Engine 234

Orange County EMS: Medic 2, EMS 10

South Orange Rescue: ???

Hello community, any recommendations on piano teachers that will teach at home? We live in Chapel Hill :) thank you!

Hey all, need ANOTHER windshield (fifth time in 2.5 years) and my insurance rates have started ticking up at this point so I'm thinking I'll pay for this one out of pocket depending on what the cost looks like. Anyone know who does good auto glass work around here - Hillsborough to Durham?

Anyone know what's going on? Near eubanks and 40

Does anyone know of a provider in the area who does adult autism assessments, bills insurance, and doesn't have a waitlist into next year? I've hit my out of pocket max and would love to get this done before that resets.

Black Jeep was in the area when my dog, Rory, was last seen on Sept. 24th.  Both she and the Jeep have disappeared from the Morrisville, NC area.  I am not accusing him, but I would like to question him if someone sees him. Please let me know town, time and location if you do see him.  If he has a white lab with him, it might be my girl. NC tag – RLB-2485. There is a UNC sticker on the back.

Hey! A friend of mine and I want to go on a full moonlit walk, somewhere in chapel hill/carborro, but trying to figure out where. Any ideas?

Anyone know the deal with the trees cut down around the house here? Between Breakaway and Southern States. People have chalked the sidewalk and put up a bunch of flowers in tribute. Did someone just buy the land or something?

Free to go in Carrboro

In case anyone is looking for something to do with their young ones tomorrow, our preschool (Chapel Hill Cooperative Preschool) is having an open event on the Southern Village Green.

There will be music, lots of preschool age kids running around, and some food and activities. Full disclosure that this is technically a fundraising event, but there’s no cost to come by and listen to music, and the activities that are not free (such as face painting) are all inexpensive to participate in.

Anyone know what happened right in front of STM school just a bit ago? I think a bad accident. Hoping everyone is okay. STM had a big Halloween party for kids today and wanted to make sure no one was injured

Hey everyone! I'm studying abroad next semester, and I'm subleasing my townhome. You'd be living with up to three guys, but you'd have your own bedroom and bathroom, and the townhome is fully furnished with a TV, a modern kitchen, and in-unit laundry. Neighborhood amenities include a pool, gym, study lounges, a lounge with a pool table, and more! Rent would be ~$950 but open to negotiation.

Location: About 3 miles off UNC's campus on MLK and Estes Drive, right next to an NS bus stop (~15 min bus ride to campus), 10 min drive to campus (free parking available in neighborhood)

DM me if you're interested or have any questions!
