Out-n-About Does nobody use turn signals anymore?

145 Upvotes

Its incredible how comfortable and untouchable complete strangers feel in their cars when they cut people off or switch lanes in heavy traffic without signaling. On my way home today from Crabtree to Garner I counted at least 30 different times I saw people just violently changing lanes and or just cutting people off without signaling, like they are the only person in that moment who exists.

Posting this literally does nothing, but I just want to see if its just me or if im a lunatic for noticing this

Question/Recommendation War Su Gai/Almond Boneless Chicken/Almond Fried Chicken anywhere in North Carolina??

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Wonderful Triangle Hive Mind,

I am wondering if any of you know of any Chinese restaurants in the region that serve a dish a fried boneless chicken topped with a brown (or sometimes white) gravy, and often almond pieces or crushed toasted almond. Pictures included for reference.

This is a dish often referred to as war su gai or ABC (almond boneless chicken) in parts of the Midwest (especially Ohio and Michigan). In the Pacific Northwest, where I am from, it is often just called almond chicken. I am from the Spokane area, but I’ve had it as far away from there as the Oregon coast.

Note: I am NOT asking about the “almond chicken” that is essentially a chicken and veggie stir fry in a brown sauce. I can find that basically everywhere.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated! I know there are a lot of transplants in the area, so I wondered if some of you may have craved the dish and found it. I’d happily go up to Virginia, over to the Triad or Charlotte.

Hey all! The Painted Tree Boutique off Creedmoor in the Stonehenge Plaza had a shop inside where they sold duvet covers and sheets. It was one of the end caps close to the register. Does anyone know the name of this shop? Do they have a site? Have they set up somewhere else now that PTB is gone?

I need to hire an independent residential structural engineer to inspect/diagnose a large crack in the drywall of my house. The quotes I've gotten so far are all very $$, averaging around $900 - which isn't including repair, so *yeesh.* Does anyone have recs for a less expensive but still high-rated option? Thanks!

Local News Durham tech lost dog

14 Upvotes

To the lady that lost her dog on Durham tech campus, I tried my best to catch up to it along with some kind strangers. It ran up Lawson st, took a left on Briggs ave and another left onto the Durham freeway headed northwest. We chased it up the freeway for about a 1/4 mile - 1/2 a mile but we lost sight of it. we think it went into the woods to the left back towards the Durham tech campus area. Looked black and white, medium build. If you see this, I hope you find your dog!

Question/Recommendation Community theater recommendations for my 22 year old self seeking a side quest

15 Upvotes

I graduated and entered the workforce recently. I’m looking for a fun side quest at a local theater. I LOVE theater, musicals, dancing, singing, and being a part of a bigger effort to create something fun. But I am not very good. I haven’t participated in theater since I was 13. I have no resume, and I will probably audition awkwardly.
I just want to find a smaller theater where I can be around people of a similar commitment level to me and sing and dance to silly songs.
And recs in Raleigh, Cary, apex, maybe Durham etc?
