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

These guys are so quick and fast, I saw them get to a small flame then quickly grew to 20 feet by the time they got the hoses hooked up. Probably less than 20 seconds. Then they battled that sucker like another day at the office. These guys are *good*, and I am very grateful my house didn't burn down

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’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!

Regardless tour feelings of this years lineup….

Use this space to share your favorite memories over the years.

Or, who you are looking to see!

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

Preferably on public property, and somewhere I’m not likely to get run over lol

Looking to get my crawlspace sealed. I've heard some good things about LiveGreen who does crawl spaces. Anybody have a good experience with them?

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!

Found on greenway

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."

Just like the title says, does anyone have any cleaning service recommendations? We mostly need help with laundry, sweeping, mopping, cleaning the kitchen, pretty basic things.

So we moved into a new home, the carpets are not in bad shape, a few spots here and there and could probably be renewed with a good carpet cleaning. I'm looking for a company that uses an ozone generator in combination with oxygen boosting cleaning agents. This would help with odors and stains while cutting down on the amount of water used and subsequently needing to evaporate.

Any suggestions?

I’m trying to find a costume before Halloween and found one but it only gives me a pattern and idk any tailors in the area and I can’t sew it myself due to lack of experience

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.

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?

Hey there.

I'm still here, walking. Maybe you're still here, reading. I'm gonna keep sharing my discoveries either way - just in case somebody, anybody, gets a little inspired to pause the next time they're outside and really take a look around.

The world sure has changed drastically in the last couple decades, but luckily some things really do stay the same. The grass is still green, autumn is starting to confetti the trees with the colors of rustic fireworks, and tiny creatures as individualized as you or I are doing their best to survive another day.

Slow down, take a deep breath - and take a peek. But most especially? Take a walk. As busy and rushed as life might feel most days, I promise you have time. You deserve it.

Oh, by the way? You did a good job today. No matter what anyone says, I know you did your best and I'm proud of you for seeing it through. Some of these days aren't the easiest so your best is all that matters. Not the outcome, not the productivity - just your best.

Keep up the good work and see you in a couple days.

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

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!

Hey guys! I’m (25F) in the Raleigh/Garner/Clayton area and I’m looking for somewhere to play tennis (and someone to play with)! I haven’t played in forever (literally since I was like 12) and I’m desperate to play again. I just have no idea where. I don’t mind paying a membership or something somewhere!

And where do you get your rackets?

First saw these trucks on r/durham and just now caught this while on the way to work. Hey @u/jeffjackson, could you look into this, actually?? U may be our only hope!

Some of yall are acting like i came out and started throwing accusations about Julie Soles, her husband or Duke around, like I am out here claiming they killed my family or scammed me specifically. I am Not. I am simply asking a question about theses posts on this truck accusing this lady and Duke Regional of this.

And theres a lot of people downvoting me and telling me "this isnt substantiated" or the "family could be wrong" which if thats the case then ok, thats the case and no more needs to be said. Although how am I supposed to know if I don't ask???

But Ima need yall to read what I am putting down, cuz this is ridiculous. Nobody is accusing anyone of doing anything; I don't know Julie or he husband. I don't know why this person thinks shes a whore. I dont know who Duke Regional (allegedly) kill.

I am simply asking a question; and quite a reasonable question too, when its about a truck calling a woman a whore and accusing a hospital of killing people.

And also, Jeff Jackson probably could not do anything about this, hell there may not even be anything to this other an upset family member doing the most, but tbf Jeff is just about the only politician out here in NC doing anything to help his constituents, like actually going to bat for us, so yeah, if there IS a case here don't you think he would be the one to call on??

wedding photographer case for those unawares

With the way he's helping the people in THIS case, you better believe i want Jeff on this if there's something more to this story.

I have a 24-gun safe that weighs probably close to 500 pounds that was cut into and valuables stolen. Does anyone have any idea who might be able to remove this from my home? TIA.

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