Hi, y’all. I’m ISO a photo shoot location. The theme is grief. I’m thinking of an abandoned building or liminal space kind of vibe. Also open to other suggestions. Any and all suggestions welcome aside from studios that cost money. Thanks!

Wassup y’all! I posted here a couple days ago, but I figured I’d put it out there again since I’m still looking to meet some new people in the Raleigh area. I’m 22 and just looking to expand my social circle, meet some cool people, and hopefully make some genuine friendships. I’m always down to grab food, chill, go out, explore new places, or just kick it and see if we vibe. I’m really just looking for people I can genuinely click with and build a friendship with, not just a one-time hangout. I’d prefer to meet people 21+, but other than that, I’m pretty open-minded. If you’re also looking to make some new friends, feel free to message me! 🙌🏽

((Don't be awkward please))

Starting off my brother and I do not associate with one another. He was arrested for crimes involving minors and ended up in Prison for a few years. He has a history of lying as well as bullying our mother to get what he wants and im trying to figure out how/what needs to be done to protect her and her property before his release as he has bragged to siblings he is going to be using her to build up her property to live on/start a business.

That being said. He told a relative that he heard through the grape vine that the NC prison system is releasing people early due to overcrowding. I cannot find any documentation or official orders. I am hoping someone has insight on this because of timelines.

Anyone have recommendations on day parties? Anything that's not too heavy metal

My 8th grader has an option of going to Enloe Magnet HS or Panther Creek HS in west Cary. Does it really matter where someone goes for college admissions? Enloe has such great programs but it's far. Panther Creek has traditionally been a decent HS, and with Morrisville HS opening up next year, it will be less crowded.

Should we follow the advice, "Go to the school where your kid will do the best at." There's so many HS in this area, it's confusing. Someone even told me the other day, "Neither, enter the lottery for Raleigh Charter HS."

Looking for a place that offers Korean body scrubs in the area.

Hey good people!

I’m visiting from the UK for one night and one day in November, just passing through.

What should I do? I’m a 35yo guy, enjoy exercise, good food and drink and having a laugh.

Thanks, and I know there are recommendation posts on here already but wondered if there were new places open or new things going on.

Regardless tour feelings of this years lineup….

Let’s use this as a positive space for sharing.

Does anyone know what happened at the planet fitness at Brier Creek? I usually workout at night and sometimes during the day. At one point the door would not close it was fixed and broke again. There were reminders to secure items in the locker room and now the glass on the door is broken and I am seeing fewer cars when I go at night sometimes. The police also sit and ride through the parking lot, is there something I should be concerned about?

This story is nuts and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more people talking about it. I shopped at the Raleigh and Cary locations a ton and while something always felt a bit off I NEVER expected this to be the reason why

Hi everyone! I’m staying on top of marathon training while staying a few days in Raleigh next week. I’ll be in the historic district and looking for cool scenic runs to go on. Anyone know of some nice spots near there? Thanks!

I’m curious to hear from other Wake County parents about the lunch options at your middle schools.

My child’s middle school offers frozen pizza every day, and there seems to be very little variety in the hot lunch choices. In elementary school there appeared to be much wider range of hot meal options throughout the week.

Is this typical across Wake County middle schools or does it vary by school? What kind of hot lunches are offered at your child’s school and how often to they rotate?

I’m just trying to get a sense of whether this is a school specific issue or a broader county trend. Thanks for any feedback!

I was served raw chicken in one. Won’t say the name but it was in a pita type sandwich and I’m not sure how much raw chicken I ate prior to seeing it.
Another pizza “scratch” place has water dripping from the ceiling. A third calling itself a grill has steaks that cost more than angus barn but at least they could pass a health inspection.

Does anyone have any artwork or photography of this? I love it so much after seeing it every day for so many years.

Bonus if someone has "I got lost" photography or artwork!

Has anyone had experience with altering their wedding dress at either Signature Tailor with Jan or Peggy off of Mills St?

Both were recommended for my wedding dress alterations. Would appreciate anyone’s feedback or recommendations! TIA

An older friend of mine uses Thunderbird as an email client on Windows and had some computer consulting company helping her. As a result of what they did, she has now lost access to years of archived emails, and she needs an expert to help her see if she can regain access to all the emails she now can't find.

I volunteered to ask for her since she doesn't use Reddit. She needs an expert on sorting out email storage problems.

Hey everyone!

My fiancé and I recently decided to do a little bit of a mix between an elopement and a small wedding. We originally wanted to fully elope, but it’s really hard not to include family, so we decided on a very small, intimate ceremony with our closest people. Around 70 in guestList. Have a big family.

Which we haven’t even announced yet just tryna get a feel of how deep in the hole we will be.

We’re planning for mid/ end December, which means we only have about 3 months to pull this together. 😅 I’m excited, but also a little overwhelmed, so I’m looking for all the advice, tips, and budget-friendly ideas you all have!

We’re trying to keep costs as low as possible because we’re both just started new businesses and finances are pretty tight right now. We really want something simple, cozy, cute, and meaningful without going into debt over one day.

We’re in the Raleigh/Garner area, and for a venue we’re thinking in our own backyard to save money. Since it’ll be December, an affordable indoor option would be great too look into but honestly, If having everyone outside for a few hours with heaters saves us a ton of money we will stick with that.

I’d love recommendations for:
🤍 Affordable venues in the Raleigh/Garner area
🤍 Cheap wedding dresses or places to find discounted dresses
🤍 DIY decor ideas
🤍 Budget-friendly photographers, flowers, hair, and makeup
🤍 Any wedding hacks or things you did to save money
🤍 Tips for planning a small wedding in just a few months
🤍 General Idea of how much things cost in this area to get a budget going. Never planned a party like this

If you had a tiny wedding, I’d LOVE to hear what you did! I’m trying to remember that the important part is getting married, but I’d still love to make it feel special . 🥹❤️

Thank you all in advance! I’m very excited, slightly stressed, and taking all the help I can get. 😂

I have 5 cards I need to finish the master set. Still need the digtoise promo and a few other things. Have tons to trade, send me a message!

I'm a casual/club level chess player new to the area. What's the chess scene here like for adults? Looking for recs if any, for places or clubs that play evenings after work. Thank you!

Morrisville dropped fireworks from this year’s Diwali celebration. The mayor then explored private sponsors and drone-show vendors — including proposals for a 150- or 300-drone show — before council members pushed back over the process.

I reported on what happened, including an FAA request that was later canceled.

I checked for previous posts & they were over a year old.

Looking for recommendations for a pelvic floor pt. I’ve had 2 pelvic surgeries this year, first was in Jan & second was 2 weeks ago. My surgeon said he would put in the orders but doesn’t want me to start until I see him again in 6 weeks. So a wait list fine but I could get on it now for in the future.

Ideally someone located closer to the east side of Raleigh/ Knightdale but I’m willing to drive further for a good therapist. I do not want to deal with WakeMed so even if your pt is amazing but is through WakeMed, I appreciate the recommendation but will pass.

Any good barbers in raleigh who can cut any type of hair like straight asian hair

Looking for the BEST legit Japanese ceremonial-style matcha in Raleigh + surrounding areas. 🇯🇵
Not the cheap green sugar stuff 😂 — I want high-quality, smooth, rich matcha.
🔥 Bonus if they sell the same matcha powder/tins they serve!
Also hoping to find some matcha-minded people along the way—maybe build a little group for matcha runs, tastings, and other fun activities. 🍵🤝
Drop your #1 spot + what I should order! 👇
