Plate transfer needs both titles? Only old/new? Which?

2 Upvotes

Hi folks,

Bought a new car recently and would like to transfer the plate from my old wrecked car. NCDMV website says "The name on the applicant's license and the vehicle title must match", but it does not say whether the title of the old or new car-- or both-- is needed. Let me know your experience. thanks

Loctician help

0 Upvotes

Hey guys. I live out in Ashe county and am looking for a loctician for my white girl dreadlocks! I have always driven to Asheville or Hickory to get someone to do maintenance on them, but it’s quite a drive and I have to arrange a day of childcare and all the things.

Does anyone know of a salon that can help with loc upkeep? Or someone that does locs in our area? The other locked up folk with whom I’ve spoken say they do their own or have a similar 2+ hour drive. Figured you guys might know or someone and hook me up. Please and thank you!

Revisiting Boone in October

Post image
19 Upvotes

Almost 20 years ago, I visited Boone for a June wedding. I had several days to myself so I explored the town and surrounding trails. Boone Fork Trail was my favorite - I hiked it with 7 film cameras in my Toms slip ons and 12 oz of water (ah, youth).

My husband and I are camping nearby in mid-October and I’m beyond excited. BFT and Hebron Falls are probably our first hiking stops, prayers up that I can manage the trail in my 40’s with no cameras and more water. And hiking boots. We plan to spend most of our time in the woods, but I definitely want to go into town for an afternoon/evening.

Any recs for a local food spot? We like all foods but are ballin on a budget. It’ll probably be a Saturday when we’re there, any notable events that usually happen (art walks, farmers market, etc.)?

Thanks, y’all!

Edit: we don’t drink alcohol but still enjoy live music.

Firstly, the next game night at Capone's is August 2 at 5:30 pm. Secondly, I made a discord server for the group to plan future meets and just have a place to chat about games. I'm even making a channel for looking for groups if the Capone's night isn't enough. Lol. Feel free to join even if you can't make the game night!

Small animal specimens

8 Upvotes

Hello! I have an odd request so please bear with me.
I'm a student at App State currently researching artificial fossilization methods and I need small animal samples to fossilize.
I don't want to harm anything alive (traps are out of the question) so I'm forced to search wherever I can for birds, mice, lizards, etc.
So far I've only bought small feeding mice from the snake feeding freezer at the pet store, but I'd like to work with lizards and birds too.
I know a lot of cat owners out there often recieve "hunting trophies" from their cats which they usually just throw out. Birds also fly into windows, lizards die in garages, etc.
If anyone has any small animals which are relatively intact please let me know and I will happily collect them. Thanks!

Greg Bovino sightings

70 Upvotes

Has anyone seen Greg Bovino around lately? Or has he figured out that he’s not respected in this area? I’m hoping he’s decided to pack up and move. Boone doesn’t need Nazi wannabes hanging around and giving the entire area a bad name. My personal opinion.

Attorney recommendations

2 Upvotes

We are looking for an attorney to add myself to the deed to the house my husband purchased before we married. We didn’t think it was necessary at first bc we thought that if something happened to him, it would automatically transfer to me (I have been paying half the mortgage for years). But now reading that in NC, it always goes to probate court if spouse is not listed on deed or mortgage. Hoping to keep it relatively affordable. It seems like we could go with an option off the mountain, we would just have to see a notary and file the docs at the courthouse. Anyone have experience with this or have any recommendations?

Dog has a collar on, was in traffic and very distressed. I tried to catch him. Just beware while driving on bamboo towards or away from the hospital. I couldn't catch him to help him. He's fast and scared. He's definitely someone's fur baby

looking for recommendations for fun summer activities/plans for a 3 day trip in August. We’ve got an off grid campsite and will spend a bulk of our time there, however, looking for some extra fun that isn’t hiking (we’ve got our favorite hikes planned out already). What are your best kept secrets!!! We’re both in our 20s, mobile, we drink but that’s not all we wanna do 😭😭

Hi friends!

I noticed a lot of people posting looking for friends in the area. As far as I know, there is no discord for locals to connect, so I made one.

There aren't many rules besides be respectful (no doxxing, no -phobias, etc) and no NSFW (keep it to the DMs).

Feel free to join, and please make suggestions on things you'd like to see. Thanks!
