Are there any mechanic shops in town that specialize in performance/modified cars? Who do people trust to work on their project cars?

Currently using T mobile in the highlands area and it’s really spotty. What’s a good reliable service yall recommend?

Hello, we are looking to rehome a kitten that we recently rescued and semi-adopted. He is very sweet and playful. He is also around 7 months old. We can’t keep him due to already having too many pets, and children. We had the kitten neutered about 3 months ago.

Is this possible? My boyfriend’s landlord wants to double rent, so we’re looking for something in the current range. Would prefer not to move into an apartment complex. Any private owners or any leads?

Iso non faith based counseling/ therapy in Burke or Catawba counties that accepts united healthcare. Any recommendations appreciated

At a relatives house and none of my water works. No sink, no shower, toilet, nothing. Just gone

Hey guys, 22m just moved here for work and I was wondering if there are good places to find friends. I just got a membership at Xcel fitness and was wanting to make friends. I game a lot too!

Hello Hickory. 44/yo male looking for other guitar players to jam with. I’ve been playing for roughly 30 years and looking to learn new stuff and possibly start a band.

I had been VERY reluctant to step foot back into that shop because of the guy who owned it before, finally sucked it up and took everyone's recommendation on Joe and couldn't be more glad I did.

I tried other spots and they were either too far away or just didn't click with me.

New to the area! I cut through Hickory via 321 nearly every day for work and am in dire need of someone to style and cut curly/wavy hair. If you know anyone between Lenoir and Lincolnton, that works for me too!

Hello Hickory friends. Any recommendations for lower cost driveways? Currently we have gravel and want to upgrade to something a little nicer. What costs are we looking at? Our current driveway is 2 car widths and approximately 30 feet long.

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are planning on moving back to North Carolina after living in Wisconsin for the past few years. I’ve lived all over NC over the years, so it really feels like coming home. We’re looking at settling in the Hickory area, and I’ll be bringing my food truck with me.
We’ve been running a successful food truck for several years serving smash burgers, specialty burgers, cheesesteaks, and catering everything from breweries and weddings to large corporate events.

One thing that’s important to me is being involved in the community. Besides owning the food truck, I volunteer as an EMT with a rural ambulance service here in Wisconsin, and I’d love to continue serving whatever community we end up calling home.
I’m hoping to get an honest feel for the local food truck scene from people who know the area.

A few questions:
● Is there still room for another quality food truck, or is the market getting crowded?

● Do breweries, businesses, and neighborhoods regularly book food trucks?

● How’s the catering market?

● Are there certain areas around Hickory, Conover, Newton, or Morganton that are especially good?

● Any advice for someone looking to become part of the local food truck community?
I’m not looking to undercut anyone or step on anyone’s toes. I just want to make good food, get to know people, and become part of the community for the long haul.

Is it just my yard/neighborhood or is it i really bad this year? I’m new to the state and I’ve put out 4 dunks and sprayed bifenthrin (Talak 7.9) but they’re eating me alive in the back yard. I can’t sit out there for a minute without swarming. Do I need to hire a professional or what? 🤪🦟🦟🦟

Neighbour just got word from the doctor that they have RMSF, probably from walking their dog alongside the Greenway. Please be on the lookout and take precautions for ticks because this disease can be deadly.

Hi everyone. I am trying to find a news article or any public information regarding an incident that happened around 2022 in the Catawba County / Hickory area (or surrounding counties).
From what I remember, it involved a young Hispanic man who passed away from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a vehicle. Because of the nature of the incident, I know local media doesn't always publish full details, but I am trying to figure out if it was ever reported publicly, if there was a major traffic backup related to it, or if anyone from the area remembers hearing about it around that time.?
