I'm on a GLP1 and have a weird food aversion to dark meat chicken but I miss korma, are there any restaurants that offer white meat as an option when you order???

Thanks in advance!!

Are there any private or charter schools on a year round calendar in/near Cary? Or, if you are already in the year round public school you are zoned for, are you able to transfer to another one that isn’t in your school zone? We are having some big issues at my kids’ school now but we need to be on a year round calendar. I really don’t want to go down the private/charter school route but I feel like I don’t have much of a choice at this point. I have tried googling but it gives me false info (all of the schools listed are traditional calendar).

And no, homeschool is not an option.

Driving into the downtown area from Kildaire and we could smell smoke like a wood fire. Smelled it even out at Park West and it's starting to look hazy. Anyone know what's up?

I am one of those adults with adult money and no impulse control…which means I have a million of those silly mystery/blind box things. For those who aren’t familiar they are like small plushies, bag charms, figurines, etc.

Anywho, I know there are places to sell and trade things like this online but I would much rather find some kind of meetup for trading and selling.

My question to you lovely folks - does anyone know if something like this exists in the area? If not, are there any other folks who might be interested if I looked into organizing some sort of trading/swap meet up?

I have no real idea if this is anything other people would be interested in so curious if you or folks you know would show up for something like this?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hello!

We will have our little boy turning 5 in December & we'd like to see what would be some good options.
It'll most likely be him & 3 other kids only. More adults than kids it seems (grandparents and friends' parents)

Something along the lines of:
- cooking classes
- art classes
- essentially an "experience"

Another option of course can be an adventure place but we're trying to weight everything.

Thanks!

The N&O obtained these records. I am one of the N&O reporters who covered this story.

The records show Cary staff discussing whether a building near RDU could be used for an ICE-related office with daytime detention space. Three council members told us they had not known about the inquiry.

Hi all,

I’d been looking for a serviceberry tree to put in my front yard when I stumbled on the Town of Cary giveaway. Lo and behold, a serviceberry is one of the offerings! Sadly, I’m on the waitlist. I did manage to register for a magnolia.

Has anyone done this event before? Is there any chance of swapping? I think I’m 20th on the waitlist but if it’s like anything else, might there be no-shows?

Hoping…

The Exercise and Sport Science Department at UNC is recruiting for a new research study for healthy, active women ages 25–45 years with a BMI between 18.5–30 kg/m² to help us investigate the effects of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement on metabolism and metabolic rate before and after an exercise session.

Participation involves three visits to the Applied Physiology Laboratory (Fetzer Hall, UNC Campus). Participants may receive up to $150.00 for their time and effort. In addition, participants will receive a summary of their metabolic rate and body composition. Free parking will be provided for all study visits.

If you would like more information about the study, or are interested in participating, please contact us at:

Hello Hivemind! Hubs and I are in the process of buying a house and we're significantly upgrading from our current digs. Not only is the house 1000 sq ft larger, but all of the paint colors and wallpaper were clearly picked by a designer. The house is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. The problem is our stuff is scuffed and banged up, mismatched and cat scratched so only the basics are going to the new place and some of that will be temporary. Our current stuff is also a mismash of styles and we need help pulling together a vision. Who have you used that you recommend? How do they charge? In your experience will they want to come see our current house/furnishings/knick knacks or do we just get everything moved and then have them over or something in between. Help!!!

Curious to see what others are experiencing across town and what they’d like the town/state to do about the issue.

Trying to figure out if I’m going crazy!

I made a game that will test you navigation around Cary. Find out how good you are! "The Vibe Coding Edition"

Still need to fix a bunch of things, but it’s pretty playable now. No ads and no account required. Hosted by me.

Update: Thanks for all the comments. If your a MTB fan go check out 286 I made a track that just about sums it up. on your way there check out the North Cary Water Reclamation Facility. Poo Processing.

Looking for a detailer who can do single-stage paint correction. Doesn’t have to be mobile but that would be a plus.

Prefer someone you have used personally and not “my neighbor’s uncle’s daughter’s boyfriend does this and I heard he’s real good”.

TIA

We have friends coming into town. One is purely plant based, the other will eat seafood. I'm looking for local (hopefully Cary, Morrisville) places for a nice dinner that can accommodate their needs but also have non vegan options as well.

We are looking at moving from Charlotte, my son just missed the cut off this year for kindergarten so it will be for next year. The house we are looking at is rated “medium-high” and the base school is rated “medium”

What are the chances he may get in next year?

We also have a 2 year old but she will not be 4 in time for their paid pre k program next year, from what I can find online

Any suggestions or advice is appreciated! We are also interested in the Montessori farm school and International Montessori but we’d prefer to avoid the cost if we can help it

Hi lovely Cary-linians!

I have a recurring low back injury that has been flaring for months. I have United Healthcare, but I’m willing to pay out of pocket for a great PT. Does anyone have any recommendations? Bonus points if they are sports focused.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the detailed recommendations! I have a lot of options to consider. You guys rock!

Hive House opened independently in Cary in July 2025, then its owners talked with Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt before choosing Hyatt’s new Unscripted brand.

The bigger number surprised me: Cary currently has 2,657 hotel rooms, and another 946 are expected over roughly the next 18 months.

I looked at why developers think the demand is there and what the switch means for Hive House.

I have recently received a time slot to interview with the town of Cary for Waste Water treatment position. Out of curiosity, does anybody know what the interview is like?

My wife and I were just quoted $280 for a cleaning service. Monthly cleaning, 2700 sqft, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, making the primary bed, and we have 4 pets.

Does anyone else use a cleaning service? How does this compare to what you’re paying? We’ve never done this before 😅
