This goes out weekly - great if you're looking for a good show to catch in your area! And always looking for more people to join the Discord to share updates from their neck of the woods.

Lots of good (and even some FREE!) shows in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill featured this week, including the featured show, Lua Flora at Neptunes!

People of Cary!

I need a halfway point to meet a client who lives in Southwest Raleigh and looking for a good spot in Cary. We need something kind of quiet and with the ability to find some level of privacy. Anyone got a good spot? I was thinking maybe the Cary library but seems like its kind of busy. We will be meeting on a Saturday as well which also limits available spots a bit.

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi! I need a halfway point to meet a client who lives in Southwest Raleigh and looking for a good spot. We need something kind of quiet and with the ability to find some level of privacy. Anyone got a good spot? Namu is my go-to for this in Durham - something spread out with lots of seating would be perfect. It seems like the Cary library is kind of busy but if anyone has been there on a Saturday afternoon and found some quiet, let me know!

Someone had suggested Thousand Hills Coffee - can anyone speak to that?

Thanks!

Trying to follow all the rules here and keep this simple.

Location: North Carolina, USA

We are moving out of a rental. Our lease stipulates three specific things with regards to lawn care:

1. mow the grass in a timely manner

2. trim the shrubs and clean the gutters semi-annually

3. keep trash and clutter out of the yard

we have done all of these items over the years, not perfectly, but generally. we were prepared to do some yardwork before we moved, however, our landlord came by yesterday with a landscaper who quoted him $1,600 for landscaping work that includes removal of an invasive vine (not a shrub) that we have been asked to trim back from the house (and have done multiple times) and removal of limbs from specific trees on the property. He is suggesting that we split the cost and pay $800 and he's saying he's doing that as a favor to us because the yardwork is our obligation, not his, "no exceptions".

I asked if we could do the work that is stipulated in our lease ourselves as we expected to. He said yes we could feel free to try and then he could come by and decide if it's good enough. When I asked for specifics on what would be "good enough" he would not say. He also said that previous tenants had paid for outside help for the yard...again that's not a requirement of our lease, even if it was nice that other tenants of his did it.

I guess my question is, if we do the work specifically outlined in our lease, does it sound like he still has grounds to keep our deposit if he is decides it's not done right or that we're obligated to do all this other work that is not stipulated in our lease?
