Hi everyone! As family-friendly & great Wake Forest is, I'm looking for other childfree people. Are there any groups or meets up in the area?
Note: this is not a dig at people with kids, all my friends currently have kids. Just looking for people with similar lifestyle without kids! :)
Thanks in advance!
Recently purchased a home in Holding Village and I'm trying to get internet service sorted. Was checking out Brightspeed a couple weeks ago and got most of the way through their online service sign up and it said fiber was available at my address. Went back this week to actually pull the trigger and now it's telling me only DSL is available.
Called them, first person said fiber was available, but put me on hold "to check with a specialist," then came back and said it's actually "not ready yet." Tried their chat portal after that and was told flat out my address isn't serviceable and to sign up for their expansion list.
From what I can gather, Holding Village was originally marketed as a CenturyLink fiber-lit community back when it was being built, so I'm assuming the infrastructure exists for fiber?
Anybody know what's up with this? I'd really prefer not to have to go with Spectrum if I can help it.
Anyone else dealing with this Spectrum outage? I am near heritage and internet has been out all day with no estimated time of repair. I’ve called twice and been told they have people working on it but still with no timeline for when service will be restored. This is my first time using Spectrum and I’m not impressed at all so far. After moving, it took nearly a week and 3 separate visits by different technicians to get my internet set up to begin with. I wish I could switch to a different provider, but right now Spectrum is the only internet provider servicing my neighborhood :/
I'd like to find a local body shop for non-major repair work. I prefer to pay in cash or credit card and not work with insurance. Any recommendations in or near Wake Forest?
Hi All, we are relocating to the area in July of 27. We have 4 kids, they would be entering 1st, 5th,7th and 9th. My sons both have an IEP but my 5th grader has level 2 autism. My main concern besides schools obviously is neighborhoods. We currently live in a very affluent area and the kids in our neighborhood are never outside. Sports, even rec are super competitive. I just want my kids to have friends in the neighborhood, be able to walk places and ride bikes etc. Keeping their school needs in mind, which neighborhoods and towns would you suggest- thinking 700-900k budget (commute time isn’t an issue since husband works remotely).
Thanks!
Hi! Is there anyone moving to Hamlet Quail Crossing in Wake Forest, NC? My husband and I are supposed to be moving from MA to the community next week and we're struggling to get in contact with the leasing manager to schedule picking up our keys. Communication up until this point has been fine. Just curious if anyone knows if they're still on track to open on Monday, 8/17?
So what did this accomplish?
Amy Baird Kamm was a Duke nurse before becoming the lead singer of Raleigh band New Reveille. After she died in a house fire in Rolesville, NC, I spoke with her former bandmates about her life, music, and the years they spent performing together.
Sharing here because New Reveille was part of Raleigh's Americana/alt-country scene. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article316833300.html
I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with part-time daycare options for infants around Wake Forest? Any information (especially including tuition rates!) would be appreciated!
Are there any good soccer fields around that are open during the day? I know Smith Creek is typically open/available, but I’d love one with a backing net or in slightly better condition.
I used to go up to Heritage HS from time to time, but they started locking their goals.
(I understand and respect the idea of private fields, but would love to have a good quality field to kick around on if possible!)
Ok so we are in month eight of a new town leader. Has anyone noticed a change?
Our minivan window got broken so we called this company to come out and replace the window. The crew that came out were nice enough however they accidentally drained and killed my battery. It’s a 2024 minivan so it’s a new battery. Michael Turner and this company absolutely refuse to take any accountability. They were rude and completely indifferent to the issue that their crew created so I thought I should share this with the neighbors so that everyone knows to avoid this company. Wish somebody had given me the same heads up.
Are there any good line art tattoo artists in the area? Can be in Raleigh or close by as well, but I’m not sure who to go to! There’s no shading in the tattoo, so I want to make sure my tattoo is straight basically.
