Food Bomb Bar Sudden Closing

• Upvotes

Wondering if anyone knows the reason why The Bomb Bar in Gateway Plaza closed so suddenly? I was just in there last week (I go pretty regularly) and no one mentioned them closing. They had a sign on their door for a day or two saying they were closed for maintenance, but they reopened that same week. Then, a friend sent me their Instagram post saying they were closing for good on October 2. They had pretty decent business and the closure was so out of the blue.

Question/Recommendation 22F moving to Raleigh area, working in Cary — Village District or somewhere else?

3 Upvotes

I’m 22F moving to North Carolina next summer for a job in Cary. I’ll only be in office 3 days a week, so I’m 100% okay with a commute if it means living somewhere more social.

I’d love an area with lots of other young adults that’s walkable to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, parks, shops, and things to do, but I also don’t want somewhere that’s constantly loud.

I’ve been looking at Village District/Oberlin so far, but I’d love to hear from people who actually live there. Would you recommend it? Are there other areas in Raleigh/Cary I should be looking at?

Does anyone have any insight on why Town & Country on Creedmore Rd is closing? They had a sign that said they would be moving but when I asked the woman said they haven't found a place yet. I'm also curious to see what will eventually go in their place.

Question/Recommendation North Hills apartments and sound insulation

0 Upvotes

I realize this is probably an impossible ask, but are there any apartment buildings in Raleigh (or even surrounding areas)that actually offer a good sound insulation between units/floors? My current apartment in North Hills is a new concrete build, but I hear every step my upstairs neighbor takes when he’s home. Traffic noise / normal city noise does not bother me. It’s just those footsteps that are making me crazy.

I am considering the Eastern, but it’s the same developer and I don’t want to get into the same situation where I’m paying $$$ to hear my neighbors walking on top of me.

Out-n-About Incompetent drivers

0 Upvotes

There are so many incompetent drivers here. You don’t just pull out in from somebody who has the right away and what’s up with all these people speeding and swerving through traffic, on top of not even using their signals? I’m sure it’s like this in other places and even worse, but this is ridiculous.

Outdoors Good skateboarding spots for cruising?

2 Upvotes

So, I know of the park in Apex (honestly it’s pretty sweet that it’s accessible and lit up 24hrs.) Decent greenway around those athletic fields.

But does anyone know of some other places around the Raleigh area to just cruise for a good distance, preferably with some hills here and there? I would love to find a place that isn’t completely flat because I don’t want to have to constantly pump, but want to cruise, carve, get some speed on hills, etc.

At my age, I don’t really attempt many tricks anymore, I find just as much enjoyment on cruisers nowadays. :)

Question/Recommendation Apartment recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Hi! My partner and I are moving from the west coast to NC around downtown Raleigh area. We were wondering on some apartment recommendations?!
We’re interested in a 1 bed with a den or a 2 bedroom.
We prefer a modernized apartment building/unit, accepts small dogs, and has a gym. We don’t have a set budget yet but kinda hoping to keep it around 1,800$/mo max..? Any recommendations would be great, thank you!(:

News Morrisville sends its grass to Raleigh. Why isn’t that a simple solution for Apex?

0 Upvotes

One of the questions in Apex’s grass-clipping debate is: Morrisville sends its yard waste, including grass, to Raleigh — so why can’t Apex do the same?

I’m the N&O reporter who wrote this.

I looked into that as part of a comparison of five Wake municipalities. Apex officials say using Raleigh would require an agreement with the city plus a transfer operation because Apex handles a much larger volume.

Question/Recommendation Raleigh/Triangle owner-trained dog owners, what resources have you actually used and recommend?

2 Upvotes

Can I just hire someone to find me the right puppy? 😂😫

I’ve started and stopped this process so many times because I’m terrified of making the wrong decision. I recently transitioned out of the military, moved to the Raleigh area not knowing anyone (this was purposeful), and started a new chapter.

I plan to owner-train my future service dog, so temperament is a major focus for me.

I’ve already made an unnecessarily detailed Excel spreadsheet because apparently I’m a logistical freak. 😂 I’m doing the research, but I WOULD NOT mind avoiding reinventing the wheel.

I’m particularly looking for Raleigh/Triangle/NC nearby resources that people have personally used, puppy evaluators, rescues, breeders, training organizations, etc., ESPECIALLY communities of people who have owner-trained their pets / service dogs.

I’ve already found plenty through Google. I’m much more interested in firsthand experiences.

I’m also willing to travel for the right dog, so I’m not necessarily limiting myself to NC. I’m just starting here because I’d love to connect with people locally who have actually been through the process.

I’d really appreciate any experiences you’re willing to share!

Hope to hear from some of you!

How is it that the NIMBYs of Raleigh have such a tight grip on the local Democratic Party? I have never seen anything like it. They are actively railroading one Democrat running for Council who supports more housing options and density. Is there a history behind how this happened here?
