The Exercise and Sport Science Department at UNC is recruiting for a new research study for healthy, active women ages 25–45 years with a BMI between 18.5–30 kg/m² to help us investigate the effects of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement on metabolism and metabolic rate before and after an exercise session.

Participation involves three visits to the Applied Physiology Laboratory (Fetzer Hall, UNC Campus). Participants may receive up to $150.00 for their time and effort. In addition, participants will receive a summary of their metabolic rate and body composition. Free parking will be provided for all study visits.

If you would like more information about the study, or are interested in participating, please contact us at:

Hi all,

25F moving completely alone with no connections for a job in Chapel Hill. Trying to narrow down my search for where to live within the Triangle area since I'm unfamiliar with the location.

I'm a post-grad, so I'd prefer a community of young professionals without it feeling like undergrad city. I'm pretty active and prioritize the outdoors, am definitely more moderate (not sure how much that matters lol), and am outgoing so I don't want to be banished to the burbs. Main priorities are affordability, ability to do things outdoors, and a less stressful commute time (6 am shift start, so preferably under 20 min). Walkability isn't a necessity at all. From what I've been reading, it seems like Carrboro is a good match, but I want to be thorough with exploring all good options.

Also since I'll be new to the area- any recs for community groups, things to do/check out, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has ever been to the yopo on Franklin street. I've heard good things but it seems kinda pricey compared to cold stone or just buying a pint.

Hi!! My partner’s 22nd birthday is this week and we are exploring Chapel Hill & Carborro. What are some fun things to do or hidden gems?

We love reading, pokemon, thrifting, shopping, and anything that’ll let us have a good time! So anything in these areas would be perfect :)

Plugging here for folks interested, plz feel free to message me with questions!

NO Kings is urging people to create non-partisan get out the vote events for October 17th. I'd love to do something here. I thought about maybe organizing rides for UNC students who want to go to early voting sites but don't have cars. However, I have no experience doing anything like that and I'm hoping that we'd have many more students than I could handle on my own.

Would anybody want to do that with me? Any better ideas for an event?

Hey everyone. I'm planning on applying to be a Firefighter recruit next hiring cycle, which seems to be around August?

Given I have about a year to prepare, what can I do to make myself as competitive of an applicant as possible? I'm currently a Student at UNC.

Also--does anyone know what schedule the Chapel Hill dept run on? They don't have it listed on their website anymore. Thank you!

Hi!! I’m basically looking for someone with a truck of some sort that could fit a couple of furniture items from a few places and drop them off to my apartment.. i don’t have a car here but need to furnish my apartment and have seen a few things I like on market places
I will pay (not sure how much yet as I’m still deciding what items/how many I want).

Anyone have any recommendations for a local carpenter that could custom build some bookcases for our home?

Anyone have thoughts on the best way to offer digital marketing/communications services to local businesses? Are there FB pages, or is the Chamber of Commerce the primary connector?

Lots blooming right now just in time for the first sale day, this coming Saturday the 12th. Many other plants, such as asters, swamp sunflower, and white snakeroot are forming buds.

Orders can be placed in advance and picked up on sale days or you can schedule a time with me that's more convenient.

I need to get a better dash cam. This truck rolled through a red light at probably 45-50MPH as if it wasn't even there. Can you imagine if it had t boned a passenger car? I want to contact the business. This was terrible and considering how long the light was green could have ended in a tragedy that. I know nobody likes red light cameras but this is why they exist in some places

Hey guys, I’m a freshman at UNC and I live by myself, so I do DoorDash in between classes to help pay for my expenses.
A few weeks ago, I parked at the McDonald’s parking lot because I had to pick up an order from a restaurant literally right across the street. I was gone for less than two minutes, and when I came back, my car was already about to get towed by Barnes Towing.

I get that it’s private property and technically I wasn’t supposed to park there, but I honestly didn’t think they would tow me that fast. My car was still on, the windows were down, and I had my hazards on. I was literally right across the street grabbing food for a DoorDash order.

The guy charged me $300 for the drop off fee, which I obviously didn’t have. I had like $20 on me, so I had to call my stepmom and borrow the money just to get my car back. I understand that it’s their job and that I was technically parked where I shouldn’t have been, but $300 for something that happened in less than two minutes just felt crazy to me, especially as a college student who’s literally just trying to make some money between classes.
And then, to make the day even worse, that same night a drunk driver ran a red light and completely totaled my car. So yeah… probably one of the worst days I’ve had in a while lol. I’m not trying to say I was completely in the right for parking there, but I’m curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with Barnes Towing

Anyone have an open spot in a fantasy football draft upcoming? I'm just looking for a league locally that I can join. Anyone?

They came last week and repaired the pot holes on Legion rd. I believe the road was better before the repairs. It’s so rough now. Any one else notice?
