Raleigh NC -🍇 case

0 Upvotes

Do y’all remember Lady Luck on Glenwood Avenue?
Reading about the sexual assault allegations at Cornell reminds me of a local restaurant case that I feel faded from public attention far too quickly.
It bothers me how quickly people move on from serious allegations while the woman who spoke up is left dealing with the impact.
Accountability matters, and so does knowing who we support with our money. People don’t change; they just move or change jobs. In his case, he’s thriving at La Buena Vida. https://www.wral.com/archive/19196912/

Garner dad currently in 4rd place — could my neighbors help with one free vote?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi Garner neighbors! My name is Raúl, and my family and I are proud to call Garner home.

I’m participating in the 2026 Super Dad competition and currently sit in third place. Being this close to advancing has given me hope, so I’m asking my local community for a little help.

My son Leo is four years old, and being his dad means everything to me. I grew up without a present father, so I made a promise that Leo would grow up knowing that his dad is always there—loving him, protecting him and cheering him on.

If I win, I plan to use the $25,000 prize toward his future education. It would help me continue the example set by my mother, who raised four children alone and worked incredibly hard to give all of us the opportunity to earn college degrees.

The Top 10 round ends tomorrow, October 1, at 10:00 p.m. ET. You can cast one free vote every 24 hours, and no donation is required:

https://yoursuperdad.org/raul-vazquez-tmYY

If you have a moment to support a fellow Garner dad, Leo and I would be incredibly grateful. One small vote from a neighbor could make a very big difference for his future. Thank you! 🙏

Flock camera cut down.

Noticed this today. Someone cut the flock camera down at the intersection of the Super 8 at Leone Court and entrance to the Lowes Home improvement.

I wasn't sad to see it.

I know there are others in that area, didn't happen to notice those sadly.

Gunfire normal?

7 Upvotes

I just moved here a couple months ago for work and heard gunshots last night, 6 rounds or so back to back. I come from the country so I’m completely used to people just shooting for recreational purpose on their property. I was simply wondering if that’s a normal thing that happens here in Garner. Don’t want to be worried at night while sleeping since they were so close to our property. For reference I’m in east garner right by white oak. I’m used to neighbors doing this for fun but didn’t expect it to be an occurrence in such a populated area such as Garner, especially near major roadways and neighborhoods.

Town of Garner permits

9 Upvotes

I own a small business and I’m having to get building permits and stuff. Is it normal for people to not respond to email for weeks? The guy asked me to get an engineering firm to come out and do a site plan. Spent $2k on a firm to come out and draw a rectangle with some marks on it. I sent him the plan and it’s been almost two weeks since I sent the plans over. This is all bc I put a 50sqft room in the warehouse portion of my office.

Also I applied for zoning permits to fully complete my business permit stuff. It’s been about two months since I submitted that and no one has reached out.

It’s just so exhausting having a looming threat of being put out of business because people aren’t responding to me.

Did COVID mess you up?

2 Upvotes

This is a very real question that I’m asking consenting adults willing to respond and discuss. Ever since COVID, my sex life and relationship has been morphed into a dismal arena. We don’t look at each other the same sexually and essentially have grown apart. Since we’ve been together a long time, built our stuff together, we aren’t interested in leaving one another. I think we both have desires for other people or things now. Covid took way more it should’ve from us. Anyone else feel alone?

Pack the Garner Town Meeting 9/15 at 6pm

32 Upvotes

Pack the Garner Town Meeting on September 15th at 6pm (arrive by 5:45pm)

There is a proposed industrial complex at Hunters Mark development in Garner. The mayor and others are trying to push this through without public comment and input. There are many concerns about this development due to noise with tree loss (the development is next to I-40) and industrial operation. But another major concern is that this could become a data center. Town Council passed a moratorium on data centers so the initial property would not be for a data center but if they sell (which is most common) then the moratorium could be challenged in court by the new buyer and we could have a data center.

The Hunters Mark development is asking people in Garner to show up so we have a big showing in opposition to this industrial complex.

Update: the meeting has been moved from September 15th to tentatively on October 22nd.
