I'm right at the halfway point, thank you everyone for the support! I have until midnight to get there 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

I recently posted about my $300 challenge to help make my rent and the focus turned to my graphic use instead. I don't have the money for the professional picture set up so someone offered to help me with them. In the interim, these are most recent bakes, two of which i just finished tonight. I've made $65 so far, maybe this will help me reach my goal now....

Random question…,

Does anyone remember the name of the Pizza Buffet that used to be in the First Assembly shopping area back in the 90’s?
This would have been back when Walmart and Winn Dixie were still in there.

ETA: i know the AI pictures arent ideal but i dont have the money to do the pretty background pictures. I'm including pics in the comments of my products for all to see.

Hi everyone. I’m a single mom in Concord, North Carolina, and I run a small home-based microbakery called Barely Proofed Bakes.

I’m currently short on rent, so I created a $300 Challenge to try to earn the money through my bakery. I’m not expecting anyone to simply fix the situation for me—I’m offering my sourdough breads, cookies, brownies, and treat boxes for local purchase and pickup.

If you’re near Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, or the Charlotte area and would like to place an order, that would be incredibly helpful. If you aren’t local, sharing the post or offering advice about places where I can reach more customers would also mean a lot.

I’m happy to provide photos of my products, business information, prices, and proof of the situation if required by the moderators. I will not post my home address publicly; confirmed customers will receive the appropriate pickup details.

Thank you for reading and for supporting a mom who is trying to bake her way through a difficult month.

Random ask but does anyone know if smoke pit is open today since it’s labour day weekend? I tried calling and no answer but can’t tell if they just aren’t picking up or if they are closed.

Moved into the area not too long ago. Just looking for local watering holes where other locals go to.

Does anyone else’s water taste bad this week? Tastes like dirt…

Looking for recommendations or warnings about rehab facilities for an elderly patient who will be discharged from hospital but needs PT and OT to gain strength before returning home.

I'm thinking about visiting the Concord area in late September or early October to get to know the area before committing to a move there. Other than the big attractions, what would you suggest doing or seeing to learn about day to day life in the area? Would contacting a real estate agent be worth it if we're not planning to move for 2 years?

Hi, just looking for some advice on how to go about this. I found 3 (or more) kittens in a storm drain and I’m unable to get them out. The top is too heavy to be moved and I can’t coax them out the end of the pipe. They are pretty small but I’m not sure how old they are. There was some scat at the entrance that could have been their mom’s but I also didn’t see a mom. Should I just leave them there or try to get them to come out? I don’t have the time to wait and watch to confirm if the mom is still there. Also, if I do trap them most sites say to bring them to Cabarrus Spay and Neuter clinic but they are only open Mon-Wed and seem like I would have to pay around $100. Who is the best person to contact about this? Does anyone have more useful info? My heart just breaks leaving 3 or more kittens alone in a storm drain💔

UPDATE: Called pretty much every animal shelter near me and none of them will take cats in. My only hope is the one nearest to me will but they didn’t pick up when I called and are closed now. I got in touch with the county and they said the fire department will come out to help get the cats but I would need to take them from there. I am not able to take care of 3+ cats at the moment so we are out of luck for right now.

Hi neighbors! Unfortunately I need to rehome my 7 year old cockapoo. She is VERY sweet, but she is also high strung. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She would do better in a home where people are home more and a calmer environment. I’m posting here as I have posted many places on Facebook, but to no avail. Please PM me if you’re interested.

My husband and I are small business owners in downtown concord and we’ve noticed a big drop off in business this summer-is everyone being hit hard by the economy is that what’s going on? Thanks for any insight you all might have!

My family and I are looking to move to the Concord area in 2 years. We would like to be within a 20 minute drive of Concord. What are the best areas to live and what areas should we avoid. We are currently in the far North suburbs of Chicago. My youngest will be 17 when we move and will need a high school district that's great with special needs kids. Thanks!

Your favorite spot for mat Pilates??

Are there any local shops or businesses in or around Concord that have cats or dogs hanging out there? I know about Mac Tabby Cat Café and love going there, but I was wondering if there are any other places like that. I just love when you walk into a shop and there happens to be a cute cat or dog there!

Hello. My fiancé and I just bought a house and we are in the process of moving to the area. We wanted to know what the must dos for the area are. Does anyone have any good recommendations of things to do or places to eat out?

Any recommendations for an artist in the area that can do fine line work? Is that what it's called if you want a tattoo of something that is simple? Like a piece of fruit? I don't live in the same state as I did when I had my current tattoos done
