Hey everyone! I am a friend of the owner of the restaurant Pocha on Old Chapel Hill Road. I wanted to let everyone know that they are finally opening up this weekend! Come out to the grand opening this Saturday, October 17 to support a local business and enjoy some authentic Korean food and drinks.

Service advisor recommended suspension work, due to dry rot on some boots could allow further damage. He then showed me a VIDEO of a dry rotted boot that was opening up when turning, and presumably let grease out and contaminants in. Seemed like a solid recommendation to me.

Based on some other aspects of the visit however, I got a second opinion, and was allowed under my car when it was on the lift. You could see clear as day that everything was fine with boots (and bushings), and no work was required.

Hi, I’m Tori! Reach out to tori@reflourishnow.com with questions or to schedule!

Thousands of North Carolinians live with chronic pain that traditional treatments can't fix. We're left with limited options, often harmful ones. It doesn't have to be this way.

I started a petition to legalize cannabis in North Carolina—both medical and recreational use. Right now, 41 states have already made medical cannabis legal. We're being left behind when we have a real solution for people suffering right now. The research is there. The economic opportunity is there too—other states are seeing jobs and tax revenue from regulated cannabis. And honestly? North Carolina's agriculture industry could lead here.

This isn't about getting high. It's about access to treatment that actually works. If you know someone dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, or other conditions that cannabis could help with, this matters. If this resonates with you, consider signing and sharing. What's your take—do you think North Carolina should catch up with the rest of the country on this?

Hi everyone,

My name is Christina Holloway and I am a Suzuki-trained violin and viola teacher based in Durham. I also gig in the area and have music on most streaming platforms under the name Cardinal Christy. I just wanted to share that I am currently looking to expand my music studio and am taking new students!

I teach beginner and intermediate violin, viola, piano, and voice. I also teach clawhammer banjo. I teach all ages from children 5 and up to adults. If you are interested in scheduling a first lesson, please reach out to me via my website (https://cardinalchristymusicstudio.com) or by directly emailing me at [cardinalchrisart@gmail.com](mailto:cardinalchrisart@gmail.com)

You can also check out my instagram cardinalchristy where I regularly post banjo and violin/viola videos.

Thanks so much, I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello r/triangle folks! I'm headed down to the triangle for a new job in December and hoping to get some opinions on apartment complexes OR learn if anyone knows how to find a home for rent by owner- please share!

I am planning to check out:

1. Avalon Perimeter Park

2. District Station

3. Elevate Brier Creek

4. Sinclair Cary

My main concern is roaches.

I have been in the trenches fighting German roaches in my current work place and very concerned about possible infestations in large apartment complexes. PLEASE share if you know of any compromised buildings or otherwise red flags.

I was able to tour NOVEL Morrisville and Broadstone Trailside, but didn't love them. I'm pretty introverted and can't imagine using all the amenities like co-working space or a clubhouse. If there are any other good suggestions in a <30 min commutable distance for a 1 or 2 bedroom under $1800/mo I am grateful for any and all input!

FRBO is the dream:

The last time I moved for work I got really lucky and lived on the second floor of a house for rent by the owner. I really liked this setup and would love to rent from the owner or a small property management company again. If anyone has a reputable source for this besides Zillow, I would be happy to hear from you! I am a single person with no pets (allergies) and very clean (positive letter of reference from my previous landlord).

Thank you in advance! This subreddit seems very friendly and gives me some reassurance about relocating to a nice community!

Sitting on the tarmac in Newark for now 4 hours because some plumber cut an internet cable at RDU and they have a ground stop for any incoming flights.

Will someone please get the tower some walkie talkies so I can come home?

On Tuesday, October 6, Southeast Regional Library closed to the public for four (4) weeks, after library workers organized against unsafe working conditions caused by a planned roof replacement project. This is a matter of public concern, as Wake County is responsible for ensuring public safety at their facilities. Wake County administrators failed to plan adequate safety measures during this construction project, and they failed to promptly address reports of these dangerous conditions.

On Monday, September 28, library workers began noticing and reporting noxious fumes in the building and developed acute symptoms including headache, dizziness, brain fog, burning eyes, numb tongue, throat irritation, and a bitter chemical taste. These symptoms correlate with known health effects caused by exposure to roofing adhesives.

Noxious fumes and these symptoms were reported to County administrators on Monday, September 28, Tuesday, September 29 and Wednesday, September 30. Each time, library workers expressed concerns about adverse health effects, and raised questions about potential effects on children, pregnant people, and other vulnerable populations who use libraries. County administrators assured staff that nothing toxic or hazardous was being used. In fact, it was suggested that the people experiencing symptoms may just be sensitive to odors.

Later, one of the compounds onsite was identified as Sarnacol AD Adhesive, which carries warnings of acute toxicity including the following statements: “Harmful if inhaled; May cause respiratory irritation; May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure if inhaled; Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area; Call a poison center if experiencing respiratory symptoms; Once sensitized, a severe allergic reaction may occur when subsequently exposed to very low levels.” The Safety Data Sheet with this information is readily available online. Staff were expected to continue working in the presence of this compound and others between 20-40 hours a week for the entirety of the 6-week project.

Conditions inside the library on Thursday, October 1, became too unsafe to ignore. Library workers made the call to evacuate the building as families began arriving for Toddler Storytime, and the branch closed for the day. Three (3) children’s programs and one (1) adult program were cancelled. After three (3) more days of partial or full closures and cancelled programs, County officials finally deemed conditions severe enough to close the branch for the remainder of the project. The 4-week closure was publicly announced Tuesday, October 6, more than a week after workers began reporting noxious fumes and adverse symptoms. This closure only happened because of the brave actions taken by library staff to protect themselves and their patrons.

Wake County has not communicated the reason for the closure, publicly citing “odors” and “ongoing conditions.” Even coworkers at other library branches do not know about the serious health risks that workers at the Southeast Regional branch faced this past week. The abrupt closure has caused mass confusion among library patrons, who had recently visited the branch and had no idea there was any danger, and increased workload at all other branches as workers manage hundreds of books each day that were ordered by patrons of Southeast Regional Library for pickup. The abrupt closure has also resulted in the cancellation of over 50 planned programs and services, including the Lawyers in Your Library event, a free clinic providing access to legal guidance for this historically underserved area in Southeast Raleigh.

This was completely preventable: a planned construction project should have accounted for obvious risk factors like toxic compounds. A scheduled branch closure would have not only prioritized health and safety but also greatly reduced service disruptions.

Our union, Library Workers United, stands in solidarity with our members and all library workers at the Southeast Regional Library branch who fought to protect the health and safety of our
community and coworkers. Together, we call on Wake County leadership to take accountability for their inaction, to investigate the failures in assessing the risks of this project, and to reinstate the personal sick leave that library workers used to recover from their exposure-related symptoms. Reinstating leave would show a sincere interest in nurturing workers’ wellbeing in line with the County’s Core Values.

We ask our community, supporters, and library patrons to join us in calling for accountability from the following:

**County officials:**

● Library Commission: library.commission@wake.gov

● County Manager, David Ellis: 919-856-6180 // david.ellis@wake.gov

● Community Services Director, Frank Cope: 919-856-5562 // fcope@wake.gov

**Elected officials:**

● Wake County Commissioner District 2, Safiyah Jackson: 919-856-5576 // safiyah.jackson@wake.gov

● Wake County Commissioner Chair, Don Mial, 919-856-5575 // don.mial@wake.gov

● Wake County Board of Commissioners: 919-856-6180 // submit online at https://maps.wake.gov/commissioner-feedback/

● NC House Representative, Monika Johnson-Hostler: 919-733-5880 // Monika.Johnson-Hostler@ncleg.gov

● NC Senator, Dan Blue: (919) 733-5752 // Dan.Blue@ncleg.gov

Library patrons have the right to use their public services without exposure to harmful chemicals. Library workers have the right to be safe at work. Libraries work because we do!

I reported this story for The News & Observer after seeing the SPCA/Wake Sheriff post.

Willow was about 4 weeks old when Deputy Devin Richardson spotted her running on I-540. He wasn’t sure he had missed her, pulled over and ran back.

I spoke with Richardson and traced what happened to her afterward through the Wake County Animal Center and SPCA Wake.

I'm a high school student, and I built PathWalk (pathwalk.app), a free web app that finds the safest walking or wheelchair route rather than the fastest. It's for people with mobility issues, primarily those who use wheelchairs, walkers, or canes in Wake County, NC.

What it does

• Routes around missing sidewalks, risky crossings, steep slopes, steps, missing curb ramps and pedestrian crash hotspots
• Builds routes for a mobility profile (manual or power wheelchair, walker, or custom limits) and gives each route a safety score
• Turn-by-turn voice navigation, rest stops along the route, and crowdsourced hazard reports
• You can even simulate a walk to preview a route

PathWalk currently only covers Wake County, but anyone can try it: enter a start and destination within Wake County (a few suggested places pop up when you tap the From or To box), then press "Simulate walk."

I want to expand PathWalk to other counties, then all of North Carolina, and even the whole country if possible, so please let me know what you think. Brutal honesty is welcome.

(sorry, theres no audio in the video...)

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to my yard sale!! Ya’ll helped me offload so much 🥰

Wild that the majority of people who came found it on Threads and Reddit 🤯

So I guess if you’re having a yard sale, don’t sleep on those platforms 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a complex family law case. I have a cheating abusive husband, a 24 year old disabled sick daughter, and I have been financially dependent on my husband for 10 years with no way to work, since I am my daughters full time caretaker. We were married 30+ years. I need an attorney that works with unequal distribution, mediation, and alimony. I need one that will fight for me and my daughter that won't back down so we don't lose our house or alimony. I have been burned by 2 attorneys so far that took what little I had and screwed me over. They didn't provide any service for the money. I've paid over 15k total and gotten no where. I don't have alot of money left due to the fact I can't work and only have the small amount he pays me for the mortgage. I want to stay out of court, as I can't afford it but could end up there. My husbands attorney is Shea Maliszewski. I am in desperate need of any lawyer referrals in the Raleigh or Wake County area. Please let me know if anyone knows of any or has personally had any good experiences with any. My mediation is in a few days. Thanks.

I'm hosting a few free community events in November & December - a free graphic tee swap and a nighttime listening party of Dark Side of the Moon in the park. I'm looking for places to share this to the Durham community specifically, not the whole ass triangle. I really doubt people will drive all the way across town for a few free graphic tees or listen to Pink Floyd lol

Anyway, the bullcity reddit unfortunately deletes community event posts so that's a no-go. I already posted the graphic tee swap to Bull City Shares on Facebook. Any other community oriented online spaces good for this kind of stuff? Are the neighborhood listservs still active or did nextdoor eat all those up? Do yall get good responses putting up physical flyers around town at places like Central Park)? Any bars have good community boards for flyers?

These aren't HUGE events so I don't want to blast to the larger Downtown Durham FB groups that have 25,000 people, but I'd love to get word out to specific niche of folks that would be into small free community events.

I also organize the pie in the park event on 3/14, so it would be great to know what is working for folks doing these kinds of events.

Hi there!

I work in property Management - we are seeking a local jazz band or artist for live music to be played at our next resident event this November!

We have a smaller property and event budget so any one willing to recommend or connect about pricing and budgeting would be great - the event would be like a social happy hour with Residents mingling and you playing - it would also be a great chance to co-mingle or promote services if you do provide private event or venue gigs.

Any and all suggestions welcomed!

Hello all!

Does anyone know of any music schools or teachers that teach Tabla (Indian classical drums) in the RTP area?

We are looking for in person lessons only.

Thank you!

I know there probably isn’t a huge overlap of players of these sports….but just moved to the area and looking for good pickup games in Cary (where I work) or chapel hill/durham (where living).

Fairly novice but athletic with pickleball and prefer singles play.

Former small college ball in hoops but now old (47) and just looking for some decent runs but really anything works at this point …pretty much a y all star now.
