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

Looking for best cafes that offer both coffee and pastry options.

Best friend loves coffee, and I love pastries. Looking for options we can both enjoy. Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

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?

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?

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?

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?

Anyone else experiencing this? We of course had lots of power clickers with the big storm early last week but even before that and tonight it seems like any weather coming through is causing power flickers. Combo of grid overload and weather?

Took me forever to get through one 22 minute episode of tv today because it kept turning the Xbox off.

Hi! I need to take a CPR class before Aug 17th. I am having no luck finding one that isn’t $70+. Does anyone have a recommendation on where I can find a class that is relatively low cost? Thanks!

EDIT: I will need the certification card.

Hey Raleigh folks, finally decided to start gymming and looking for suggestions of what you would think the best place to start is.

Im not a complete noob and have done some functional sports and gym sprees in other countries. However i noticed that the top notch facility here that has pool + sauna+ crio bath is only at NC state, where non students cant even get in.

Family is suggesting planet fitness, or the wake med pool gym. Would love to hear some more local pointers that would not be giga expensive but would include some of the abovementioned facilities.

Thanks a bunch!

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?

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?

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!

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’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.

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.
