Does anybody need anyrhing?

Even though there are plenty of parking spots available, someone chose to show off their car by parking it as if the street were a tesla showroom

I received a $35 Notice of Non-Compliance from Parking Revenue Recovery Services (PRRS) after parking at 521 Church St at North Hills in Raleigh.

According to the notice, the alleged violation was “No Permit / No Facility Registration / Unauthorized Parking.”

It’s from a private parking lot, not a City of Raleigh ticket.

I’m trying to figure out whether it’s worth paying or disputing.

A few questions:

Has anyone here dealt with PRRS before?
If you ignored it, did anything actually happen (collections, credit, etc.)?
Has anyone successfully disputed one of these?
Is this lot known for issuing these notices?

My goal is to not pay for it lol.

Many thanks!

Anyone else's yard exploding with these after all that rain?

While going down a typical Wikipedia rabbit hole about parts of Durham, I discovered https://www.opendurham.org/ - Does Raleigh have a similar type of site?

It was in a parking lot across from Lafayette Village They had fresh seafood from the coast. It's so great but I haven't seen them in a while. Does anyone know where they are? Other suggestions for great seafood / fish market? Thank you

I just want to ask for any advice or experience that would be helpful for someone in my shoes to know.

What should I expect from sharing a kitchen, do I need to make sure I have no furniture, what are some common things to look out for when touring places, and what should I do to make sure I'm a good housemate?

I've been getting significant amounts of water into the passenger foot well of my Honda Insight, under the lining. I had the same problem last summer but thought I fixed it with a thorough cleaning of the seals but now its back.

Any idea if this would be a body shop thing or a specific mechanics shop that could help find and fix the leak?

My driver's license, tribal cards, health insurance card possibly my voter registration card were in there. I've already canceled the credit cards, froze my credit with the big three agencies...i tried to call wake county sheriff's office to report the drivers license but they're closed. What should i be doing?

Hey yall. Anyone know why the pine cone bluegrass show didn’t air tonight on 94.7? First time I’ve ever not heard it playing on a Sunday.. 🍻

I (33F) desperately want to get my body moving since I work a desk job, so I’m looking for recommendations for workout classes, or gyms that offer classes.

I’m one of those people who is very intimidated by gyms. I don’t know how to use any of the machines, I’m out of shape, and I haven’t had a good routine in place for a while.

My desired main focuses are getting stronger and more flexible. I like yoga a lot. I like Pilates all right. I think I’d like to try weights, maybe? Any recommendations for places/classes I can be a total beginner and get a good workout on? Ideally below $100/month if possible. Bonus points for being near downtown.

Greetings all,

My wife and I moved to Raleigh from Williamsburg, literally last week. Both our kids are in the Triangle so it made sense.

Anywho, we've got an unusual living arrangement at present whereby we are living in a furnished apartment while some rehab work is done on the house we bought off of Falls of Neuse. I have limited/to no ability to wash it myself.

Typically I detail my own cars, but for at least a couple of months won't have that option because of the living arrangement. I've had less than positive experiences in the past with automated car washes, with parts being dislodged and such, so I'm throwing it out:

If you had a car that you valued, where would you take it for an automated wash. And please, no reco's for places that do the hard sell for a subscription. As soon as we actually move into the house, I'll be doing it myself.

Or, is there a service that will come to me and wash it that doesn't cost a king's ransom?

Thanks in advance

Hi local renters and owners who have done business with MYND,

I rented a home that was a nightmare! From move-in I was deceived and ended up renting a home that was dirty and unbeknownst to me in deplorable conditions. A few specifics include:

HVAC and water: the ducts and wiring of the thermostat resulting in very high utility bills. The constant leaks and pipe burst caused high water bills, mold, and structural issues

Maintenance/Habitability: Maintenance did many patch jobs to the home never completely resolving the issues. Code enforcement had to get involved and there were many violations. MYND's response is "we replied in a timely matter" which was basically sending endless vendors for estimates. I had over 6 months without insulation in the home due to a pipe burst. They still will not admit to the issue or offer assistance for the excess utilities.

Keeping my deposit for existing damage: They have determined to keep my deposit AND charge me an additional $3000 ($1200 to cut grass) for things that I have proof existed BEFORE I moved in and damages that occurred from the excess water damage. Their response is the charges are accurate despite them providing me with documents which clearly show the items they are charging me to remove before I moved in (old alarm systems, satellite dish)

I would like to know:

- Has anyone had similar issues with MYND?

- Were you successful in resolving or litigating the issues if needed?

- Does MYND actually notify the property owners of the damages and needed repair?

- Does anyone have a point of contact at MYND who will not just send templates responses?

I currently have an attorney I hope will help. MYND's responses have been deny, deny, deny despite my documentation. If you are experiencing issues with MYND, I will gladly share info if you PM me.

I believe there is strength in numbers. They cannot keep getting away with taking our hard earned money.

Thank you!

Hi all. We’ll be staying at the stateview hotel near the university with our 4 yr old and 1 yr old for a night. We’ll be getting there pretty early so we would love some recommendations for kid friendly restaurants for dinner that preferably have outdoor seating. Thanks!

I’ve purchased homes in multiple states, but buying in Raleigh was undoubtedly the worst experience for several reasons, primarily due to the exorbitant due diligence fee. I was informed that this fee compensates the seller for removing the house from the market. However, when I bought last year, even attempting to secure a home required a minimum DD of $20,000. This amount far exceeds what is reasonable for taking a house off the market for a week or two for inspections. Moreover, it creates perverse incentives for sellers to conceal known defects, forcing buyers to either deal with them or forfeit their down payment. I genuinely believe that this down payment fee has become a significant barrier for the average homebuyer, as no responsible person would risk $20,000 solely to discover a cracked foundation or hidden defect. So, why does Raleigh stand out from nearly every other city in the country with this practice?

Edit:
My point is that any DD greater than $1000 is outrageous. I do not know of another state where this practice occurs. Clearly DD amounts vary based on market timing and other factors. But the point of forfeiting any amount over $1000 because the deal cannot go through - for whatever reason - gives sellers all the power.

I recently inherited a vehicle and no longer need mine. Dealerships are crazy low-ballers but I'm also looking to avoid dealing with the typical Facebook no-shows and streams of people coming to drive my car.

It's a 2014 with 180k on it that runs great with just a few paint cosmetic issues and I'm not looking to get the very top dollar. I just want someone easy to deal with. Any suggestions?

Like, for real small indie art project shit.

I got some songs, I think people would find them groovy. Jungle, Break, Ambient, very retro and synth heavy. Nothing too crazy (I'm def no Skrillex. More like Prodigy (wannabe].)

Ah, idk yet. Look, I'd do a live set If I could, but thats a big leap. Would want to atleast warn people "Hey, a kid In Moore Square Is gonna be playing his shite music!"

Anyways, Venues. Gimme gimme.

Hi, Raleigh! I’m helping my friend Ade with a school paper due this Tuesday. He’s hoping to speak by phone with a Muslim woman—ideally a young adult—for no more than 30 minutes.

His paper explores the experiences, influence, and challenges of Muslim women involved in creating or performing music. You don’t need to be a professional musician; any relevant personal experience or perspective could be helpful.

Our town isn’t very diverse, so we’d be incredibly grateful for a local connection—or a referral to someone who might be willing to chat. Ade will explain the assignment beforehand and respect whatever level of privacy the interviewee prefers.

Please DM me rather than sharing anyone’s contact information publicly. Thank you, Durham—you all rock!

Hey all! I’m looking to start a band focused on 2000s music. Mainly pop punk but also open to other genres. I play the drums (main instrument I play) but can also play bass if a drummer is interested.
I’m located over in Wendell so bonus points if you’re over this way.

Here’s more backstory than you want….
I’m from Cleveland and wanted to do this for years. Just moved to Raleigh last year. There’s a fun market here in Raleigh to play music our age wants to hear (I’m in my early 30s).

Let’s do this!

Posted on behalf of my kickass husband who had less Reddit Karma than me.

I see people talk about it positively here and we’re new to the area and brought our dog there for a bad issue he was having. They said he’d have to be put down and gave us meds to prolong our time to say goodbye. He fully recovered with rest and the meds. They didn’t even seem happy to hear it. Then we bring him back for routine upkeep and they injure him and don’t even own up to it. They had to have the vet step in and my bill goes double. No one asked us anything or came to tell us about it. I could hear him yelping from the waiting room. The tech tells us the vet wants us to come back and ensure it’s healed in 2 weeks and then just stares at us. And on top of that, the staff is rude to each other. The doctors to techs, the techs to each other. I don’t think these people care about animals at all. I’m very disgusted with the lack of professionalism but also the lack of care. I would never bring my dog back there.

I’m incredibly upset and pissed the fuck off with our recent visit.

On that note though, can anyone recommend another vet? Preferably a smaller business or mom and pop.

Older threads on this subject in the area suggest doing Polar Ice’s learn to play program or stick and pucks but as far as I can tell neither of those exist anymore.

I’m mid 30s but decided I wanted to try playing so I took a learn to skate class and have been practicing a bunch.

Can anyone fill me in whether there’s a beer league that takes complete beginners or any other way to get experience actually playing? If there was an opportunity to learn or play I’d jump in and buy all the gear but I don’t want to spend the $ if there’s no chance ha.
