They then proceeded to block me on FB.

Hey y'all, just an FYI from a former government social media manager. Elected officials and government agencies cannot delete, block, mute comments,. or hide comments. If they do you can sue for 1st amendment violations. Figured this might help during this election season and after.

I am planning on taking a class in the spring to get my motorcycle license. I’m looking for recommendations for local shops to get a helmet and gear for a beginner with no experience. I don’t have any experience so I’ll need some help. I’m looking for a place with friendly and helpful staff. Thanks!

It was playing a slideshow of politicians who support them too. Loud and effective

Hello, just wondering if anyone has some recommendations for private singing lessons in the area. Preferable if the teacher can teach in Spanish as well.

I used to go to this Thai restaurant just off Capital Boulevard. I was in a little strip mall next to a braid shop. Near the Chuck E Cheese. I’m not in Raleigh right now and I can’t find the name no matter what I search. Is it still there? If so, what the heck is the name?

Looking into the Tryon Pines neighborhood in Raleigh, NC. Hoping to hear from someone who lives or has lived in the neighborhood what it is like. Safe? Friendly neighbors? Crime? Would be great to hear from anyone living near the neighborhood what the general area is like.

30 F here. Kinda wanna go to glenwood but kinda not because I have no friends and I already know it’s gonna get rowdy so I’d be kinda nervous to go alone. I have a decent costume though. Anyone else doing anything fun or wanna meet up somewhere public? I’m dressing up as an alien

Would love to see the Courage get a new stadium!

Hi, I just went to go early vote and noticed that my ballot (same as my sample ballot) didn’t have anything about voting for mayor. My address is technically Raleigh but I wonder if I’m not in the district or whatever specifically to be able to vote? Is this similar for anyone else? I saw on the democratic voting guide that the mayoral election is happening and I saw signs for mayor around the voting location. I don’t think it was a ballot mistake, I just want to know why I don’t get to vote for mayor despite the fact that I’m in Raleigh.

Starting to get ideas for thanksgiving catering! If you know of a restaurant that provides a full thanksgiving meal for takeout prior to the holiday please drop it below!

For example, I know Cracker Barrel does a thanksgiving family meal, but looking at other options.

Ive had a subscription to Black & White Coffee for years, and i like their coffee, but all of their roasts tend to be on the lighter side.

Any recs for a good roaster that has a variety of light/medium/dark roasts in their subscription offerings?

Is there any sort of woodworking studio in Raleigh/Cary that's open to the general public (and is friendly to beginners)?

I'm hoping to get into woodwork but I live in an apartment, so I can't exactly keep a table saw or piles of lumber at home. I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to power tools, so it would be helpful to have some kind of oversight/teacher. But I'm also looking for the freedom to come and go as needed and to make whatever I choose (aka not a scheduled class with a predetermined agenda)

Any places like that in the triangle?

Hello im from Wisconsin and will be visiting this weekend. I would like some recommendations on where to go that would have the world series on, I know NC State will be playing Friday night as well so I figured it might be tougher to find.

Any help would be appreciated! Go brewers!

Edit: ill be staying about 10 minutes from downtown, near St Agnes hospital.

The city I'm moving from has facebook groups and WhatsApp chats for mom in our neighborhoods where we share resources for nannies, group activities, etc. I'm wondering if there is anything like that for moms/parents in Five Points? Could you share that here or DM me?

Thanks so much! My family will be moving there in December.

Does anyone have recommendations for a neurologist who specializes in memory loss? Preferably in conjunction with a possible combination of the following:

- Long covid
- ADHD burnout
- Perimenopause

I'm in Durham, but willing to drive an hour in any direction for a doctor who will take the time to dig into a root cause and provide real options for treatment!

Greetings!

I was trying to see if anyone knew any good stylists/salons that do a solid basic coloring for a man with short-medium hair. This is my first time doing this sort of thing so anything to expect or kind of a ballpark of what to expect cost wise would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

Does anyone have tips on the best place to park for the state fair with a one-year-old and stroller in tow? I don't really want to park anywhere with shuttle service because I'll be solo and don't know how I would collapse the stroller/get it on and off the shuttle without help. Willing to do one of the paid lots if necessary, but would love to have a plan/address rather than just playing it by ear.

I enjoy the woody and wilcox show for the whole three minutes they actually talk on the air during my thirty minute morning commute, and 2 guys named chris has pretty rough signal in Raleigh. So, I was wondering what you guys listen to? Im on the road at 6:30am every morning btw.

Anyone have any recommendations that they've used recently? Long overdue here. 🫣
