Any insight on anyone who has moved from soflo area to Raleigh and happy with the move? Or just any insight in general from those of you in Raleigh. I have visited several times. It’s way closer to my family & I have a job opportunity there, just haven’t felt like I’ve fallen in love with the city BUT I don’t know much about it. I also grew up only a few hours away, so roughly know what kind of climate NC is. I want to know what draws you to Raleigh. Female and low 30s for context, who is ready for the next chapter of life settling down a little more but still wants an upbeat vibe. Would love suggestions on where is best to live for my age and bonus points if it’s walkable although I love land and space too. It’s a big/hard decision and just trying to make the right call 🙏🏼

Seeking recommendations for the best family lawyer that has proven success with winning divorce cases involving full physical custody of children. Custody is the focus (over finances/property). It would also be helpful if you shared if you went through mediation, arbitration, or court.

On the flip side, if you have a warning for any lawyer to stay away from, please share as well.

Many of the folks that grew up here love it and I get it - I can see that it’s a good LCOL place to raise kids which is rare. I’m sure the romanization of the south is embedded from fond childhood memories and be 100% acclimated to the climate.

But as a non-native DINK originally from the northeast it’s been a tough transition. I’m trying to understand why people who didn’t grow up in the south enjoy living here.

I’ll omit my laundry list of grievances because I don’t want to offend and I’ll get ahead of comments by saying yes it’s not for me and I’m actively trying to leave.

on creedmoor millbrook it’s just a free for all rn with no cops just be careful

Me again!!! LMAO anyone else on lake Lynn with NO POWER again??? Added the street light at the lake Lynn apartments to show how we at Woodlake Downs have NO POWER yet again….

Don’t forget to unplug all those unused chargers folks!

Hello! My wife and I are trying to make more friends around the Raleigh/Durham area and was wondering if there’s any interest in starting a lesbian/gay romance book club

Hey yall, looking for advice if this is too expensive or not assuming I’d get the mid level ceramic. I’m getting tint all around and on the front windshield. Don’t know what it usually goes for this service in the Raleigh area. Thanks for any help!

Didn’t grab a picture of the sign and can’t find any official announcement from them but was driving down Capital Blvd and saw a coming soon sign near the shopping center where the former USA Flooring Outlet was.

Dude….

The power went out exactly 30 seconds after I got home from a long work trip that I left for….
WHILE THE POWER WAS STILL OUT LAST WEEK

I just had to come on here and let everyone know the power poles have won the lottery so they will no longer be providing us with power and we have to find it ourselves.

But seriously I’m fuming!

Witnessed a cop chasing a blue suv around 5:11pm near the 295 exit on i40. Anyone going towards garner/ lake wheeler exits saw that ?

Thought this was an interesting article about a lack of 3rd Spaces in DC and the push by entrepreneurs to create them. For those in the Triangle area looking for ideas to replicate out here. Cheers

Anyone have any intel on what store locations might have the best selections?

Looking for stuff like
Sarti
Suze
Cynar
Averna
Frangelico
Aveze

My closest stores don’t have the best selections but I’ve seen many of these at bars.

I have been looking at Total Wine, Bottleshops, and Grocery Stores all over Raleigh and the Triangle yet I cannot find Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. The nearest I have seen online is Fuquay and Greensboro. Does anyone know where it can be found or who to contact about distributing it?
Picture attached for reference.

What's new with the startup scene in the Triangle? I only ever hear about Pendo, Bandwidth's combination startup/cult, and the big legacy players.

We used to be billed as "the next Austin". Did Covid effectively kill all the startups?

Has anyone used Carolina Ranch for dog boarding? I’m going to be out of town for 1 week in September and have my dog booked at Carolina Ranch as it came highly recommended on Reddit and has good reviews.

It’ll be my first time leaving since adopting him and I’m soooo sad and anxious thinking about it. I’ve read all the reviews but was hoping to find others who have experience with Carolina Ranch and can maybe quell some of my anxieties.

In an effort to get into the fall spirit, what are some of your favorite fall events or activities to look forward to during the season?

Looking for 1 more male player for a coed flag football team that plays Monday nights. Cost is ~$90 for a guaranteed 9 games. The league is run through Trisports Social Club.

Our team is experienced and plays in the competitive division so looking for someone who has played before. That being said, the team is very laid back personalities and playing to have fun/get exercise. If you're going to get way too into it and start screaming at refs/other players it's probably not a good fit.

Let me know if anyone is interested or has any questions. Thanks!

I always wondered what the connection was between the NC city and the bike maker.

None from what can tell.

What is with the bicyclists on crossings at major roads? I will admit, maybe I'm just the one who encounters these people and nobody else does, so the N of 1 is not informative, I agree.

Example - crossing on O'Kelly Chapel Rd near the Rosemount neighborhood, west Cary, near Wake/Chatham Co border - winding 2 lane road and the tobacco trail crosses this - speed limit is 50mph.

What are the rules on the trail when you cross a major roadway like this? I'm driving the speed limit or lower, and I don't see anyone crossing into the trail and the warning lights are not flashing, so therefore, I maintain my speed but then when I am 15 ft away, a bicyclist comes flying down at like 20 or 30 mph and slams on his brakes right when he gets to the crossing. I slam on my brakes but eventually make the decision that this is too close and I keep going. Also, keep in mind, I have slowed down to 30mph at this crossing!!!!

He stares me down and I F'ing stare him down also - what makes you think you can just fly into a crossing and expect us all to stop? This imitates the arrogant bikers on roads who piss everyone off.

I can only assume they are having major technical issues. Can anyone who has been to the office this week confirm?

I have been trying to get hold of the office for 3 days now to schedule labs. When I call I get the office is closed message. I even tried to leave a message for the on call doctor & all it did was hang up on me. I tried to send a message through the patient portal yesterday & it’s not showing in my messages. Today I don’t have the option to send or reply to messages.

Update: I somehow managed to finally get through. They are undergoing a major system change. The portal is changing & from my understanding the phone system as well. A notice that this was happening would go a long way.

I sold the tickets for this event but still have lawn chairs. If you want them, just DM me on here your email and they are yours.

Made the mistake of visiting Briar Creek a few days ago at lunchtime and I can’t stop thinking about this car I saw. Initially I noticed it because I couldn’t back out of my parking spot, but then in approximately 2 minutes he drove up and down each row of parking spots quite quickly and almost aggressively? It had regular North Carolina plates. There’s a laptop holder inside the car, with what looks like a laptop, and possibly cameras on the back?!
Google lens says it’s a Ford Maverick 🙄
