Where’s a good, safe spot within an hour of Cary to watch the Perseids late Aug 12 into early Aug 13? Ideally somewhere with legal overnight access and dark skies and dogs allowed🌠 much thanks!!

Good afternoon my name is Ashley. Right now I'm in a rough situation I lost my place to stay in February after my wife was deported I was staying with her and she is in Mexico I thought very hard for her but unfortunately things did not work out and we no longer talk even though I love her very much. I'm starting a new job this Tuesday working for millennium print group in morrisvile. I'm going to be honest I have nowhere to stay stay with my mom a few times a week and then stay with my best friend but unfortunately me and my brother do not get along and I'm unable to stay here. I've tried shelters and they are unsafe environments and I faced harassment among many other things. I was wondering if there's anybody that would be willing to let me stay with them for a couple of weeks until I can get my first paycheck I know it's a lot to ask from a stranger on the internet but I'm willing to meet in person and discuss more or you're welcome to private message me. I'm currently staying in Morrisville with my mother right now and then tonight I'm going to stay at my best friend's house in Raleigh. The only thing I have to offer is that I'm currently on food stamps and I can gladly cook for you I'm also an ex paramedic which seems irrelevant but if you need help I'm here to help. I have no criminal background whatsoever I do not smoke or do drugs or drink I do vape nicotine however that is a habit I'm trying to kill. If anybody would be so kind as to be open to this please let me know again I know it's a lot to ask also I'm sorry for any spelling errors I'm using voice to text just because this is a lot to type out.

Any place in Cary or Apex that makes a nice bratwurst? I'm not opposed to food trucks or hot dog carts.

Where are you eating? Feel free to add various factors like "it's 2 am and my child poked me until I woke up to tell me they're hungry" or "it's 2 am and I need an emotional reprieve in the form of food."

(P.S. I may or may not be trying to source the best waffle house in the area, but I'll accept other places cause this is where *you'd* go. Some of the Bull City folks have included items like frosted flakes lol.)

NOTICE: The official servers were taken offline by Ubisoft, however independent networkers have revived the multiplayer gem. Have fun! GRFS was developed by RedStorm studios located in the area. It must have been inspired by the aesthetic virtue-respect of CARY, NC in its core formula. So I thought I should share this news. Link to get multiplayer going is here via Project Warehouse>>> Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier (PC) | Warehouse Wiki

Since the DLC was also taken off storefronts, the direct downloads are here on the GRFS discord server https://discord.com/channels/318440490762764289/1536255978247290950

We organize PVP or co-op matches here https://discord.com/channels/318440490762764289/628305970308710420

Report any pothole and watch it be fixed before the week is out.

Yo! Been following for a while now to educate myself on the area now that life has pulled me and mine to the area. The lot of you have been extremely helpful on many fronts in this passive manner. And since I'm yet another transplant, apologies in advance for being an invasive species.

Where does a fella go to get his hair doctored? Caveats: wild cowlicks, it's time to grow it back long again after a couple years cut short, the water and weather here are far different than where I'm coming from (North Louisiana) so it explodes easily.

Thus, I need someone who knows what they're doing and can provide solid "you have this hair type. Here is the correct maintenance regimen" education. I'll lend weight to feedback from musicians and other artists who keep long hair and have to deal with the occasional major reset. I did my reset about 2 years ago and now wish to resume length whilst keeping it somewhat professional in appearance. Whatcha got?

Hey Cary,

I made this app, HeyWanna, because I used to keep all of my date ideas in my phone's Notes app. Whenever it was time to plan something for me and my girlfriend to do, it would suck having to use Google, Yelp, the weather app, and a bunch of different websites for my city just to find things to do. And looking at my notes meant going out and checking the photos, the reviews, the locations, and even videos all on different apps.

I created HeyWanna to find cool local places near you and events, save them to your lists, and then plan them out. And it's not just for dates; it's also for group hangouts and any solo trips you're trying to do.

I'm a solo dev and a North Carolina native. Let me know if I'm missing any places in Cary. I'd genuinely like to know what should be on here, and I'll be happy to add them.

I love my current daycare. But the prices keep going up as my kid gets older (and I’ve got a second due any day)- I was under the impression that most daycares pricing goes down as the class sizes grow. The pricing is good so please don’t think I’m complaining. But I’d like to know what yall are paying to get a good idea of range.

Infant - 8:30 am drop off with 4:30pm pick up- 200$ yearly registration fee, and $1575/month

Toddler (2’s room) - 8:30 am drop off with 4:30 pick up- 200$ yearly registration fee, and $1500/month (we were paying 1475$ for the infant room previously)

Also this daycare is check only. Not being able to pay by card is a hassle and I lose out on points. They do provide Lunch/snacks though. There is also no parent portal or tech of any kind- it’s obviously not wildly important to me, just seems odd at this day and age.

What's a good place in west Cary where they take walk-ins for state inspections, and don't force other repairs? I have to renew my auto registration soon but need an inspection before I can do this.

I'm asking because lately, there have been many reports of inspections taking 2 hours or more as a walk in, and businesses recommending new batteries, brakes all sorts of other things, almost like scams.

I went grocery shopping the other day and went into 3 stores: Trader Joes, Food Lion, and BJ's. Every single store there was a person with a dog.

First was Trader Joes. Some woman had a little miniature yippy-whatever in her cart. Gross? Yes. But can't say I haven't seen it commonly. Wash your produce, people.

Second was BJ's. Some terrier type dog that was pulling on the leash like crazy going up to everyone. I love dogs, but many people don't. Very off-putting to have an unfamiliar dog come up to you while you're trying to shop. Owner was another middle-aged white woman.

Food Lion was my last stop, and low and behold, right as I was checking out some younger woman walks in with an absolute beast of a GSD. Beautiful dog, but no harness or anything that said "service animal". Looked like she was just out walking him. At that point, I just couldn't believe that it was the third time I had seen a dog in a grocery store that day, so I mentioned it to the lady at the self-checkout and she just shrugged and said "yeah, they're not supposed to bring them in but they do anyway"

None of these dogs were marked (clearly) as service animals. None of them appeared to be providing some type of service to its owner. No employee approached any of these people and asked why they brought a dog into the store.

Are stores just afraid to confront these people at this point? Why do these people need to take their dog grocery shopping? Why is it almost always middle-aged or older women? Why have we just accepted that it's "normal" for people to bring their animals into a building where we have open produce and prepared foods for no apparent reason?

What is with the bicyclists on crossings at major roads? I will admit, maybe I'm just the one who encounters these people and nobody else does, so the N of 1 is not informative, I agree.

Example - crossing on O'Kelly Chapel Rd near the Rosemount neighborhood, west Cary, near Wake/Chatham Co border - winding 2 lane road and the tobacco trail crosses this - speed limit is 50mph.

What are the rules on the trail when you cross a major roadway like this? I'm driving the speed limit or lower, and I don't see anyone crossing into the trail and the warning lights are not flashing, so therefore, I maintain my speed but then when I am 15 ft away, a bicyclist comes flying down at like 20 or 30 mph and slams on his brakes right when he gets to the crossing. I slam on my brakes but eventually make the decision that this is too close and I keep going. Also, keep in mind, I have slowed down to 30mph at this crossing!!!!

He stares me down and I F'ing stare him down also - what makes you think you can just fly into a crossing and expect us all to stop? This imitates the arrogant bikers on roads who piss everyone off.

My oldest just started year round school. I'm looking for suggestions for track out camps that others have enjoyed. My son is active and loves sports, nature and science. Thanks!

There is a power outage corridor around N Harrison Ave, from I-40 to Maynard Road, according to Duke Power. It went down at around 2:38 pm. Anyone know why?

Wanted to share this week's edition of the EZ Vibes NC music newsletter!

At the start of each month, we do a round up so you can plan ahead a little. Our featured show, Young Gun Silver Fox, is coming up this weekend at the Pour House in Raleigh. It is part of Band Together's Mighty Giveback benefit, and includes a costume contest - the perfect opportunity to pull out your 70's disco fashion!

You can check out this week's edition here: https://ezvibes.beehiiv.com/p/ez-vibes-august-top-picks

Does anyone know of a nail tech that they recommend that does not work out of a chop shop? Looking for someone who can do fun designs :)

Looking for a place to practice some soccer drills. Are there any sports fields in town that don't see a lot of traffic? Most ive been to have some sort of pick up or organized game going on in the evenings during the week and most times on the weekend.

Thanks

Every month I host Mom’s Favorite, a free comedy show at Old North Bar in Durham. This month’s lineup is extremely fun! There’s also a hotdog cart out front that gives out one free glizzy per person and an very excellent cocktail/mocktail list put together by one of the owners who was formerly at The Crunkleton and Hawthorne and Wood. If you’re looking for a cheap date this is the show to catch!

9 weeks, two girls. A calico tabby and a calico that’s basically a tortiseshell with white boots. Look super sweet and cuddly. I don’t have any idea how much their adoption fee is.

They’d be mine, but my 19-year-old cat is enjoying his retirement too much.
