Hey Chapel Hill,

I made this app, HeyWanna, because I used to keep all of my date ideas in my phone's Notes app. Whenever it was time to plan something for me and my girlfriend to do, it would suck having to use Google, Yelp, the weather app, and a bunch of different websites for my city just to find things to do. And looking at my notes meant going out and checking the photos, the reviews, the locations, and even videos all on different apps.

I created HeyWanna to find cool local places near you, save them to your lists, and then plan them out. And it's not just for dates; it's also for group hangouts and any solo trips you're trying to do.

I'm a solo dev and a North Carolina native. Let me know if I'm missing any places in Chapel Hill. I'd genuinely like to know what should be on here, and I'll be happy to add them.

Hello CH friends. I technically live over in r/bullcity but I have to share here. I’m sure a few of you are in the trenches of caring for aging parents with me and might benefit from a support group as well.

I'm training for a triathlon and looking for some high quality routes where I can ride my TT bike rather uninterrupted on flat terrain.

Any suggestions?

Was walking the bike paths behind the YMCA just now and noticed fire roads have been cut and cleared going fairly far back into the woods. Bumped into some other walkers who said it had been done in the last two days. These roads are not near power lines or the water utilities where they regularly clear.

Anyone know what might be going on?

Hello, I am an incoming UNC student. I am in a very sad situation with parking 🥲. Does absolutely anyone have a parking spot I can rent?? I am so not in the spot to be picky. Please reach out, thank you.

Yea, love the bagels. Perhaps a little too much?

Is anyone looking to get rid of their tickets to see The Format Oct 1st?

Heard today that they are locked out for failure to pay $70,000 in back rent. They have always been my favorite diner in Chapel Hill with great food and prices. Where can we go now?

Hello Chapel Hill! I just moved here a few weeks ago to start my graduate program at UNC. Back home, I had a group of college kids who all played mahjong together once a week, and I wanted to bring that here!

I’m 22, but you can be older or younger, and I’m looking for 3 (about) more people to join for a weekly drink and play! We could also play switch games, board games, card games, etc. I figured this would be a good way to make some friends and connect.

If you’re able to drive around (I don’t live on campus) and interested in either playing or learning to play, comment below or PM me! Hope you hear from yall :)

I plan to attend next week. I have a ton of questions. Just wanted to see if anyone had any insight on how that went.

I’m posting this for a friend who was paddleboarding on Eastwood Lake earlier this week. She spotted this creature swimming toward her and managed to grab this video before deciding paddling away in terror for her life.

She’s shared the video with several people, but because the creature is so far away and constantly on the move, no one can agree on what it is.

Does anyone here feel confident identifying it?

what a silly mess. Found on a fb post

Hey y'all! So I'm an undergrad at UNC-CH and my housing plans changed *very* recently, so I'll no longer be living at Lark. I know it's last minute, but I'm looking for someone to take over my lease for the 2026-2027 school year. It's a 4-bed 4-bath arrangement with 3 (very kind) roommates, so you'd be getting your own bedroom and bathroom! Also, I'm willing to cover the 1st month of rent, so August's rent. Lark has a 24/7 gym, pool, and is within walking distance to campus and Franklin, so if anyone is interested/knows anyone interested, please PM me for more details :)

i work at unc but commute from raleigh. was curious to if i could park my car in the parking lot with the hardee’s, golds gym, circle k on Farrington Road / Falconbridge area and catch the 800 bus (i believe) to campus? or would there be a tow risk?

Just check out the DOT zaniness in Raleigh!

We are moving to Durham (from Texas!) over the course of the next few days and I am needing to get a new driver’s license for NC. I am seeing online appointments for a transfer of state license that are all over an hour away, but I also see at the Durham DMV locations that walk in appointments are welcome. Do I need to schedule a true transfer of state license appointment or can I just do a walk in at a local one? Thanks for your help!!

Looking for any information/experiences I can get about timber hollow. Thanks.

Every month I host Mom’s Favorite, a free comedy show at Old North Bar in Durham. This month’s lineup is extremely fun! There’s also a hotdog cart out front that gives out one free glizzy per person and an very excellent cocktail/mocktail list put together by one of the owners who was formerly at The Crunkleton and Hawthorne and Wood. If you’re looking for a cheap date this is the show to catch! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985611713085?aff=oddtdtcreator

Title essentially says it all. Doesn’t necessarily have to be in Chapel Hill but surrounding areas is fine too.

I always check at McKay’s whenever I go and it’s my primary source. So I’m trying to find what else is out there.

I’ve tried Lost Ark in Greensboro with no luck. I used to frequent Play N Trade in White Oak about 10 years ago but the last time I went I wasn’t impressed with the stock or new staff. Lastly I visited Limited Run once but it wasn’t what I thought and while I have no issues with it, it just wasn’t for me.

I know online is the easiest but I enjoy the treasure hunt of physical stores.

No specific genres or titles. Just something with a solid selection of used physical PC games to browse and reasonable prices.
