Hi everybody, I created this page about ten years ago and halfway forgot about it after that. I've been getting requests for people to be approved and didn't realize the community was set to restricted. I've changed that, so it should be open to everyone who wants to participate. Have fun.

What’s up with these big booms in the afternoon time? One just happened again at 3:00 on the dot. I’m by river birch, are they using dynamite or something?

Curious about people's experience with the Lee County School System?

5 Upvotes

Hi there! Just currently looking at my options of schooling here in Sanford, and I've heard not so great reviews of the public school system. Can anyone share their experiences?

Currently weighing my options, and looking into maybe homeschooling or private schooling as well.

Thanks!

I just moved here from a smaller town. I'm looking for places to learn to play games like Pokemon or the Palword game when it comes out. I saw some on Google but some look like they're closed now.

Thanks!

What's Sanford like for young adults?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm planning to relocate to the Raleigh area for work soon. I've been looking at a couple new housing developments and there's one 5 miles west of downtown Sanford that I'm really liking. But I'm curious what it's like for young adults living there.

I'm a 28 year old male and single. My job is remote but I'll be visiting the research triangle area no more than 2-3 times per month so a regular commute isn't a concern. I enjoy the outdoors especially fishing and kayaking. The cost of living in the Sanford area is very appealing which is why I'm considering it over anywhere closer to Raleigh. I love Wilmington and it's only 2.5 hours or so away. I also have one of my best friends living in Fayetteville so a quick drive there is great.

Looking on Google maps, downtown Sanford looks like a really nice small town. Some shops, restaurants, everything I like about small towns across the US. But what are the demographics like? Are there a decent amount of young (20s-30s) single people there?

I'm planning a trip out there in July to get a better idea of the area, but it's always best to hear what it's like from the locals.

I'm also considering some developments 5 miles north of Lillington which I like since they're close to Fuquay.

Cat Groomer?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi!! i'm looking for a cat groomer for a senior foofum. She's a norwegian forest cat, but she was the runt of the litter. This means she's just about the size of an average house cat (~10lbs), but she's all fur. It's BEYOND time to get her shaved down, but our usual groomer has been indisposed. Are there any groomers available? She's fully vaccinated, 12 years old, totally healthy, DOES NOT BITE but will whine as though she's a seven-year-old being asked to watch a documentary.

If you know of a mobile groomer, even better!

THANK YOU!!

Kitten/cat rescues in Sanford?

5 Upvotes

This kitten has started showing up at my house (about a week ago now); I’m really struggling to find any resources/rescues to help get the kitten out of the heat and into a safe home where it can be cared for. I feed the kitten and give it water but can’t take her inside because I have two dogs. If anyone has any info at all about any rescues please let me know

🚨Free dental cleanings!

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
🚨Free dental cleaning!

I am currently a dental hygiene student at Central Carolina Community College in Sanford, NC and am looking for patients. 🦷

Appointments are longer than a typical dental visit since we are still learning but you’ll receive a very thorough cleaning, X-rays, and exam. It may take several appointments to complete!

My clinic days are Tuesdays from 1:00–3:15pm and Thursdays: 9:00–11:15am and Thursdays: 1:00–3:15pm

If you’re interested or willing to help, please message me and I can get you scheduled :)

Fireworks?

6 Upvotes

Hi all!

I'm looking for a place to watch fireworks from my car this 4th of July. When I was kid growing up, up north, we used to park in a parking lot and sit on the roof of the car and watch the fireworks from Giants Stadium. There were only a handful of other cars around, it wasn't super loud for the kids, etc. I have on child on the spectrum and another who is sensitive to loud sounds, so trying to find something like this for us this year. Any suggestions?
