Hi yall, apologies for the ask but I really need a lease takeover for Fall 2026-2027(I move out in a month). Do you guys know where I can get this outside of the facebook groups? For anyone who might be interested it's $980 a month. Huge closet and personal bathroom with three roomates. DM for more and pictures!

Anybody know what happened? It’s about 10:50 and about a dozen cops come zooming down with their sirens on. Hope everything’s okay

Any good places for going for a walk/jog at night? The Valle Crucis Park or the big park behind the county recreation center on State Farm are good spots but they’re both posted with a lot of “closes at dusk” signage. So basically, question is, where “doesn’t” close at dusk? There’s too many people milling around to really enjoy it on campus or around King St, and the greenway trail is a little too sketchy for nighttime.

We know about an old Civil War camp but don't want to trespass or do anything illegal so any public nearby sites would be appreciated.

Hello! I (21) have my learners permit, but no license. I’ve lived in NC my whole life but all of my family currently lives out of state (and hence have out of state vehicles). I will be living in NC for the foreseeable future, and really need to get my license over the summer. Is there any driving school/institution where I could use their cars or something to get some driving training and get my license? I’m pretty alone here and need to be able to get around. Thank you!

Hello and good afternoon, everyone. I am attempting to find where my wife can get her hair done, as we just moved into the area, but there appear to be no places that have experience with locks, braids, sewin, etc. Does anyone know where we can go for these styles? We can't find any and it's making us very sad.

Hello!

I've recently discovered Recovery Dharma and I was thinking about starting my own local group because it doesn't seem like there's one here in Boone. It'll probably be a little while before I actually get things going, I'm pretty busy right now and I'm still pretty early in my sobriety, but I'll have more time fairly soon.

Is anyone here interested in attending local Recovery Dharma meetings?

She’s ready to spin the narrative from this week’s bad PR.

I’m a 40 something year old gal who’s outdoorsy in that she likes to drink on patios. Looking for anyone (guys, girls, young, old) who likes going to music on the lawn (or in the park), brunch, tubing, concerts, dips in the pool, after work drinks, live music at Old Hampton, and afternoons at the local wineries or breweries, just to name a few. I live in Blowing Rock and have been here about 4 years now. I have a significant other but our work schedules (mainly his) are proving hard for us to do the things I like to do. Very much open to groups or clubs to join as well!

Have you had work done at Mr. Tire on Blowing Rock Road or Jefferson Road that has led to further damage to your car or caused an accident? Do you have pictures, evidence, or claims which have been largely ignored by their corporate office? Would you be willing to give a sworn affidavit of your experience with Mr. Tire?

After dealing with my own recent issues with Mr. Tire on Blowing Rock Road, I've been reading a lot of reviews online and I am shocked that they're still in business. At first, I thought it was just negligence on their part, but the amount of stories I've been reading makes it clear that this is a pattern of both fraud and gross negligence that borders on criminality. I'm looking for anyone that has been overcharged, told that they needed unnecessary repairs, or had repairs done that led to an accident to possibly float a class action lawsuit against Mr. Tire and Monro for fraudulent business practices and criminal negligence.

I am running out of time to find another place to live before my lease runs out on July 28th. My eyes are sore from scouring the same rental sites, if anyone has any advice on trying to find apartments/houses that are more under the radar or simply any tips at all, it would be appreciated. I do have a large, well mannered dog and I’d like to live alone, so that is making it even trickier. I guess I’ve got to lower a standard somewhere.

"What many folks do not realize is that the money that 'comes from' the federal government actually comes from ordinary citizens who pay taxes to support that government. Therefore, your request that 'the federal government should give a $5,000 tax rebate for all new electric car purchases' means that the federal government must take that money out of the pockets of hardworking people who may not have the means to buy an electric vehicle in the first place."
