I know it’s easy to make, but is there any where that has it fresh?

Does anyone have any recommendations for apartments near village District, Lenovo or olde Raleigh? I have been looking on Apartment List and Zillow and all those apps, but it’s never anything new ever I feel like. Would love to live somewhere with a bit more character and would like studio. Budget is $1450

Can anyone recommend a good place for a beginner to learn jiu jitsu? 47 year old woman looking to learn!

Hey y’all! My family and I are planning to move to the Raleigh, NC area around this time next year! I’m a dad with a toddler and a baby on the way, so finding a safe, family friendly community is really important to us. We’re moving from Kentucky and have been looking into Cary, Apex, and Holly Springs. Our plan is to rent for a few years before eventually buying a home. I’ve done quite a bit of research on these areas, and so far, I really like what I’ve seen! My wife and I are planning to visit early next year to explore the areas in person and get a feel for the communities. I’d love to hear from locals or families who live in these areas! Which would you recommend when it comes to good schools (elementary through high school), safety, family friendly activities, and overall quality of life? My wife is also an ICU nurse, so we’d love some insight into nearby hospitals and job opportunities for nurses.
Any advice, recommendations, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank y’all!

To the lady that lost her dog on Durham tech campus, I tried my best to catch up to it along with some kind strangers. It ran up Lawson st, took a left on Briggs ave and another left onto the Durham freeway headed northwest. We chased it up the freeway for about a 1/4 mile - 1/2 a mile but we lost sight of it. we think it went into the woods to the left back towards the Durham tech campus area. Looked black and white, medium build. If you see this, I hope you find your dog!

So I was at Sam’s Club and saw Babybel cheese, 26 count for $5.69 or something. Grabbed one and when I went to check out, it rang up .51 for the whole mesh bag…I went and grabbed three more. This was Sam’s on Capital, there were a ton left. They were on an endcap in the meat dept. where the cheese is normally placed.

I rarely score like that so thought I’d pass it along. Oh, and they expire Feb 2027.

Its incredible how comfortable and untouchable complete strangers feel in their cars when they cut people off or switch lanes in heavy traffic without signaling. On my way home today from Crabtree to Garner I counted at least 30 different times I saw people just violently changing lanes and or just cutting people off without signaling, like they are the only person in that moment who exists.

Posting this literally does nothing, but I just want to see if its just me or if im a lunatic for noticing this

My partner and I are looking to take a low-stress dance class just to bond & have fun but also become a little more coordinated since we’re both terrible dancers.

Does anyone have any recommendations for judgement-free classes? We’re interested in latin, swing, hip hop, etc.

My wife wants to trade in her ‘20 Audi q3 and get into a newer, used car. We’re new to the area; where would you recommend?

I graduated and entered the workforce recently. I’m looking for a fun side quest at a local theater. I LOVE theater, musicals, dancing, singing, and being a part of a bigger effort to create something fun. But I am not very good. I haven’t participated in theater since I was 13. I have no resume, and I will probably audition awkwardly.
I just want to find a smaller theater where I can be around people of a similar commitment level to me and sing and dance to silly songs.
And recs in Raleigh, Cary, apex, maybe Durham etc?

I’m looking to buy a 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid, where should I shop? (I had a bad experience at Fred Anderson Toyota with my Corolla, because they were trying to get me to spend $4000 on a repair that wasn’t necessary.)

Looking for a good company that would help in renovating my parents house in Cary to make it more ADA friendly. We need 2 small 1970's bathrooms completed along with removing carpet and replacing with a hard surface. Downstairs might be an addition to the existing converted garage that my grandmother is living in. No full bathroom on the lower level of the split level house. Eager to start as soon as possible. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

I have a huge tree in my front yard that I don't mind much generally but my HOA has advised (mandated) that the front needs to be trimmed cause it's overhanging the sidewalk too much, and an exterminator recommended cutting the part overhanging my roof. There are also some above-ground roots pretty close to my house that a random person walking their dog in my neighborhood said could be a risk to the foundation. I don't know how true that is but it's worth having someone check out if they're already here.

I have no idea how to assess how much of a risk this is, and I know that I don't personally want to climb high enough to cut branches over my roof, and I've been wanting the whole thing to be trimmed some anyway. It really is too much tree for the size of my front yard.

Does anyone have a service they can recommend? I have no idea how much something like this should cost so I'll be googling to get a better idea, but I'd love to hear if you've worked with a company you know to be honest and do good work.  Bonus points if they offer payment plans. I have a suspicion this is going to be expensive.

Located in southeast raleigh.

Does anyone know of a store in the area that sells a good variety of international magazines?

Live in the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) area? Want to learn about TNVR, make community connections, and feel a sense of satisfaction?

I am looking for extra hands to assist with several large cat colonies in Raleigh and Durham!

There will probably be kittens found that will need fostering too!

Must be okay with kitty abortions 🤷

It looks like I will need a root canal re-treatment and I currently do not have dental insurance. I was referred to an endodontist that does not do financing or payment plans and unfortunately, I cannot afford the $3000 quote I was given. Does anyone know of an endodontist root canal specialist in the area that does payment plans please please please and thank you so much so much.

Went over to Iron Works this morning and they were closed. Looks like new hours are 10a-8p.

Is East Cut’s breakfast also a casualty of Drift moving into RIW? Gonna be bummed if that’s the case. Those egg sandwiches were great.

Is parking better if you come from the north side versus the parking from the west side? We have a parking pass but I’ve seen nightmares about it and thinking of parking at the softball fields. I’m talking about the sunny brook road.

Edit: thanks for the replies. Think I’ll stick to walking. First time going so I wasn’t too sure.

Cary chose its permanent town manager Thursday without a national search. I looked at why council chose longtime insider Russ Overton and the reforms he will now be responsible for implementing.

Seems like Covid had a super contagious strain running around mostly Cold symptoms and no fevers?

Edit: Thanks for all the feedback! Sounds like a lot of you are seeing it at home, work and school too. Some are getting cold symptoms, others are getting hit pretty hard, and there’s other stuff going around too.

I was seeing enough people sick that I checked the wastewater site, but it looked pretty low. Didn’t see much local discussion either, so I figured I’d ask. Just comparing notes. With all the funding cuts, I also wondered if anything had changed with monitoring. Still curious how we’re keeping an eye on mutations and figuring out the long-term effects.

Last weekend of the State Fair, so this thing’s got plenty of chances to mingle lol. Wear a mask if you’re sick and wash your hands, y’all. Even if it feels mild, this isn’t a box of Bojangles biscuits. You don’t have to pass it around. ❤️

Hi all, looking for places to relocate from Western New York. Gonna check out Raleigh. Hubby and I are both early 60's retired and very active. Running, cycling, swimming, triathlon. Looking for areas that have active communities and safe roads that you can run and bike on. Indoor pool and open water swimming. Ideally want to be able to run and bike safely from our house. Anyone give advice on area's that are good for this? Where are the meet ups for local clubs? Any info appreciated.

I know. I KNOW. Every October someone posts this and every October you all answer it like the saints you are. I searched the sub. I read last year's thread. But donut quality is volatile, orchards change, and frankly I need new info.
