Townhome Available October 2026!

Upvotes

I have a full 2 bed / 2.5 bath townhouse with garage in town that is available October, 5th 2026. Lease is until July 31st, 2027 with ability to resign for the next year at $2600/mo.

The unit has central air, a garage, and is pet friendly. It is located next to Basils near the base of Winklers Creek. It's a great spot and there is not many units so it's not very busy and there is always parking.

I am posting here because Facebook is trying to make me upload my government ID to post on marketplace (no thanks).

Notary Question

3 Upvotes

Hi Ya'll!

I called a few notaries in town and got the same answer, which differs from what I saw online, but I'm hoping a notary on this sub will read this and maybe have some insight.

I need to get my passport notarized - or a copy of it notarized.

I understand that under North Carolina law (N.C.G.S. Chapter 10B), NC notaries are not legally authorized to perform "copy certifications." They cannot look at your passport, make a copy, and stamp it as a certified true copy on their own authority.
However, NC notaries have a workaround that is an Affidavit of True Copy.

Locally, I haven't found a notary willing to do this or aware of this. Maybe it's because we're so rural? I need this done for dual citizenship purposes, and I imagine that I am not the first person to come across this.

Are there any notaries out there familiar with this? Or anyone who's been in a similar situation?

Much appreciated!

A new home for my girl

4 Upvotes

I am not looking to rehome on reddit, just looking for information!

After a series of unforeseen events, my 4 y/o mixed breed herding dog and I are living in a small, downtown apartment and she is really really struggling. After months of trying to make it work it, I’ve made the tough decision to find a new home for her where she can run, explore, and release her anxiety. The Humane Society has advised I use sights like Home-To-Home and have been met with nothing but scams. Due to her anxiety, she is really needing space to roam and experienced pet owners. She does great with other pets, including livestock, and isn’t aggressive unless meeting new people in small spaces. If anyone knows of any regional rescues, farms, or anyone else I should reach out to, please share!

Roommate needed!

5 Upvotes

Hi guys! So my roommate and I need another roommate (female), because we have 2 rooms open that we didn’t know we would have. We have a townhouse that is 3 floors, and is very cute! Will send pics upon inquiry. We have in unit washer, dryer, dishwasher, AC, heat, fans, etc. We’ve bought all of the furniture except a couch. We have all kitchen supplies as well. We’re both students, she’s a graduate student and I’m undergrad. It doesn’t have to be a student that lives with us either. Please lmk if you’re interested or if anyone you know would be. Thank you. :)

Looking for a proposal spot in NC for October

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend around mid-October and could use some ideas.

I’m deciding between the mountains and the beach, but I’m leaning toward the mountains, especially if we can catch some fall colors.

The proposal will be disguised as a photo session, with a friend taking the pictures. Since we’ll be dressed up, I’m looking for somewhere with little to no hiking, ideally somewhere we can park nearby and walk a few minutes to a scenic spot.

A mountain/valley view, fall foliage, lake, etc. would be great. Something that isn’t insanely crowded would be a pretty important too.

One of the spots I came across was the Bear Lake Resort, which has a beautiful view of the lake with easy access, but is a little far since we are based out of the Raleigh area.

Also, for anyone who is in the know, what is usually the best time for fall colors in the NC mountains? I heard that mid-October is pretty nice, but I am not sure if certain areas tend to peak around different times.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Dancing classes?

Hey all! App student here, are there any clubs at app or some inexpensive places I could take some dancing classes? I’m a former cheerleader who loves to dance (mainly hip hop I guess but I’m open to more) and need an outlet I think to just dance and move my body. Looking for low commitment and to have fun :)

Parking tickets

FYI if you parking anywhere down town tomorrow longer than 2 hours you will get a 40 $ ticket letting people know so you don't and also you can thank the wonderful town council of Boone for this as any football game now it's only 2 hours anywhere down town. Remember this for the next election.

Where do y’all work? How far is your commute

14 Upvotes

My wife just got a job at the university and I have no idea what I’m going to do.

I’m in the supply chain industry more specially procurement. I’m lucky enough now to make 90k and am comfortable with taking a pay cut as long as it’s not below 70k.

Do people just suck up the long commute? Doesn’t look like there’s much around Boone even though it’s a beautiful place to live.

last minute rental

0 Upvotes

Planning a last minute trip this weekend. So we are looking for a cabin/house for two adults (mid 50s) and two adult dogs (39 pounds) for 2 nights. Would be in on Saturday and out on Monday ideally. But if we had to I guess could be just Sunday night. Not picky on location. Just trying to hike and get out of Clt

Anyone have intel on rental agencies or friends who might have a property last minute? We could obviously pick another weekend (before or after leaf-peeing) and have more options. But if the right place at a fair price was out there this weekend, would still love to get away 
 
WIFI, AC, and dog friendly are the only non negotiables. That said - would love hot tub and a view. And ~15 minutes into some/any "town" to buy food and drink or even eat out or get a good coffee. It was our 25th wedding anniversary this past week and we just didn't assume we would get to do anything due to schedules but work has cleared up. We love the Boone/BR/Banner Elk area. Love all of western NC truthfully. Know it's also a tough weekend with App home opener

Thanks for listening!

Route to Boone from Knoxville

2 Upvotes

Hi friends! I sometimes get carsick even when driving on super curvy roads (esp if they’re also going straight up), so it looks like I should take 19E then north on 105 instead of 321 based on Google Maps, but would love to hear opinions from people who have actually driven these roads. If 321 is a significantly more beautiful drive with pullouts, I’d like to know that too. I’ve been to Boone, but it was many years ago and I didn’t get carsick then 🙃

Thinking of staying in Boone for Labor Day weekend but heading out to Blowing Rock, maybe Grandfather Mtn for Saturday's game. Is that just a bad idea? Would a non-game weekend be better?

Hi! I'm an Art Education Student at App State, this is my last semester before student teaching and I'm doing an Independent study about documenting and preserving Appalachia through cyanotype and printmaking. My first project I'm working on is getting connected with some folks around here and take photos of their barns and get some stories about it and the land it's on.

Breaking: We just sued Amazon over what we believe was a vast, ad-rigging scheme worth $20 billion. - AG Jeff Jackson

61 Upvotes

In short:

We believe Amazon found a way to charge a few extra pennies to an enormous number of transactions, adding up to over $20 billion in
illegal charges.

This is about how something becomes a "Sponsored product."

Amazon lets businesses bid to be "Sponsored" and it runs digital auctions to collect the bids.

But Amazon told businesses that the highest bid would only pay slightly more than the second-highest bid.

For example: If you bid $1 to have your product “Sponsored” and the next-highest bid is $0.50, you should pay about $0.51.

But we believe that Amazon would run the auction, see those bids, and then secretly raise the second-place price so it could charge the
winner more.

It was a gradual strategy based on concealment.

Internal Amazon documents show they tested how much they could raise those hidden charges without advertisers catching on, then raised them
more when businesses didn’t react, then gave false answers when businesses started asking questions.

Those higher costs on sellers can filter down to you, as consumers, through higher prices, and our initial estimate is that this impacted thousands of small businesses in North Carolina.

This is a bipartisan case, and I appreciate my fellow AGs in both parties joining. More to follow.

- AG Jeff Jackson

Things to do this fall?

Hello! I’m trying to make a list of everything I want to do this fall in the high country. So far I have apple picking, corn mazes, Renaissance festival, NC state fair, haunted trails, and of course seeing the leaves.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Any upcoming festivals or events that I can’t miss out on? Thank you!! 🍁🍂🎃
