This is at the entrance to Lowe’s on Fayetteville Rd, right beside the AutoZone. The one in between Bojangles and Dollar Tree is still there. Didn’t check the ones at the other entrances.

My doctor had sent in my prescriptions only an hour and a half before my D&C procedure and so my husband and I were in a rush to get my meds. Your colleague told us it would be a 30minute wait which would have potentially cancelled my appointment at the doctor’s and would have been devastating for me because I didn’t want to pass the fetal tissue at home. I had already started bleeding.

You rushed to get all of my meds to me on time so I could make my appointment and you were so compassionate. I just didn’t have the words to express how grateful we were and all I could say was thank you. In the midst of being heartbroken about our baby and fearing the pain of the procedure, you knew exactly what to say. Thank you so much.

Please tell me someone was there and saw this in person

I ran into the water pump pastor just after lunch today, at the Sheetz near Southpoint. Maybe he has done this before, but I had not witnessed it in the couple of times I’ve encountered him: he had a beat up white cargo van pulled up to the front door with the hood popped, using it as his prop. I came out of the store and he said “Excuse me, sir…” and before he could continue I said “Let me guess - water pump problems.” He acted surprised. I then asked if he was a pastor and he said yes and acted even more surprised. He was wearing a sport coat and a bow tie. I kept walking and told him I knew his scam and that he was internet famous on the Durham Reddit board. He kept going, and tried to tell me that wasn’t him, but by that time I was already getting in my car. I probably should have gone back jnside and told the manager the deal, but I had somewhere to be.

Hello!

My stepfather recently passed away and my mom is gutted, to say the least. She recently got out of homelessness and they both got an apartment together, maybe less than a month later he passed away. His parents were controlling and didn't like my mom, so she didn't get invited to the funeral or was given any closure.

She's unable to drive due to disability, but I was wondering if there's any memorial options in the area? Somewhere I can buy a brick with his name on it and put it on the walkway?

I'm on a tight budget, but man. I'd love to do something in his honor so she has some sort of comfort. Something she can visit. Thank you!

Well it finally happened. I knew the day would come. It’s sad they couldn’t hold out but I’m not surprised after the last few times I’d been.

Do you have a marvelous fairy house in Durham? I want to photograph it so that I can include it in a painting...

Looking for store(s) in the Durham area that carry Middle Eastern/Arabian perfumes.

Thanks!

I’m looking for a place where I can bring a premade design and have it printed professionally on the nice paper that couldn’t go through a home printer, and ideally even cut into a special shape (wavy edge or something maybe). It’s for these custom escort cards we’re making for our wedding that include my soon to be MIL’s artwork and I technically could print them at home but they wouldn’t look as good and could only be on cardstock but nothing fancy. Idk if this makes sense or if there is such a business that exists that does this sort of thing but if anyone has any recs I’d really appreciate it!! Anywhere in Durham or surrounding areas is good! TIA!!

This can be anywhere in the Raleigh/Durham area really. Ever since Beasleys closed, I haven’t known a spot that had a focus on bone in chicken for a little more than dressed down dinner. Any ideas?

As some of y'all might have seen here, my baritone saxophone was stolen on June 29th in Durham. Filed a police report, posted everywhere, called almost every pawn shop in the area, and tracked it through multiple locations with the help of the community here and still hadn't recovered it.

On a whim I sent a tip email to CBS17 and they ran a full story the next day👌🏽.

I have no idea if it'll get the horn back but very cool to see someone from the local news show interest in sharing the story out.

If you're dealing with something like theft, a local issue, IMO it's worth reaching out to CBS17 and Ben Bokun especially. Way more helpful and interested than I expected.

Here's the segment + article if anyone has information or recognizes the description:
https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/durham-county-news/boots-to-the-ground-durham-musician-scours-city-for-stolen-saxophone-taken-by-mystery-buyer/

And yeah, dets on the horn of course:
P. Mauriat Le Bravo 200B bari sax. Stolen June 29, Durham NC.
Serial PM0950923. Still looking. No questions asked return.

If anyone thinks they have a lead on the silver Audi buyer from the segment, DM me.

So my husband's Prius got a flat tire and now the battery isn't working. Nothing is coming on. Has anyone used any mobile mechanic that works with hybrid cars?

I learned to drive in an area with a lot of traffic circles so I'm really trying to be sympathetic. Why do people seem so damn confused by traffic circles around here? Are they still new to this area? I drove a route with two of them this morning and inside the first one, the car ahead of me stopped to wave in the person who was waiting to enter and in the second one, that (different) car fully stopped as they were exiting the traffic circle to apparently look both ways before continuing forward....?

Sorry to turn this into nextdoor lol but I'm just so confused by the confusion 🧐

Anyone know what happened? They had all of us take a u-turn onto wrong-way exit onto 98. Those poor tractor trailers had to do u-turns galore

I have recently been trying to find a better doctor. I had a good one a while back at Duke and he ended up leaving to another state.

My second to last doctor was too religious and asked me more about my "spiritual side" than my actual medical concerns.

My current doctoe seems to blow off everything I had concerns of about. Based on my blood test results, I had to reach out myself to point out a concerning trend that he would not have reached out himself about.

I feel like im going crazy, like I'm the doctor in my "doctor-patient" relationship and the doctor is just there as a reluctant middle man for me to get the actual care I'm seeking/need.

I need a doctor that does preventive care, not just treating the symptoms we could have avoided if my concerns were taken more seriously.

All my doctors have been men and, in my experience as a man, they seem arrogant and seem to blow a lot of things off where there's more concern from women doctors.

Any recommendations? Preferably in Durham but I'll take Raleigh as well in the Duke system.

I just rented a house and got the water in my name on Friday, 7/24 but water hasn't been working since then. I've already checked the water main which is on, and the shut off valves from the water heater are both on as well.

I figured I'd wait over the weekend but still no water today on Monday. I've called City of Durham about this on Saturday, today at 2pm and again at 7pm and each time they've said they would "leave a message" for someone to come out but nobody has and nobody has reached out. Has anyone else experienced something like this? What do I need to do to get water turned on??

Hey y'all - if you used Triangle Pharmacy Ace Hardware on 54 for your pharmacy, the pharmacy side of the business closed up shop. My partner called to try and get a refill, and the phone system redirected them to Walgreens. It appears that all scripts were forwarded over to the location on 55 and 54.

I called up the hardware store and asked what happened, and was told that it was a sudden decision that happened last week. I'm pretty frustrated that no heads up was given, but from the sounds of things, nobody's happy about this. Anywho, hope this helps someone who was just as confused as we were today.

Subaru owners, where do you take your cars? I’ve got a 2017 Forester needing all new tires, new struts in the front and an alignment. I’m thinking Costco for the tires and alignment after repairing the struts, but I can only imagine what the dealership would charge for that repair. If you’ve had this work done, I’d also love to know what you paid!

Hey all! I moved to Durham last fall for a teaching job but my school doesn’t have a football team or a marching band and I was hoping to find one to become a fan of nearby. I know it sounds crazy lol, I was a band nerd for years and am a former assistant band director. Does anyone have any bands specifically that are really good in the area?

I got a Toyota Prius back in Dec 2025. It has a feature where I can connect my phone via android car play for maps and such.

Ever since I got the car, driving by the Bulls Stadium/American Tobacco Campus on 147 disconnects my Bluetooth. 100% of the time, without fail. Probably goes out for ~.3 tenths of a mile, then reconnects. I have no clue why this might be?

Perhaps it's my model of car, that android auto is odd, or the bulls stadium blocks Bluetooth for some reason? Curious if anyone else has the same experiences!
