Hello!

Do you own or know of someone who has a rental property, "mother-in law: suite, or a home that needs house-sitting regularly?

What I'm Seeking: A recurring rental of a whole apartment or home. Must be 1-2 bedrooms located in the Carrborro, Chapel Hill Area. Would also consider nearby areas like Mebane, Hillsboro or South Durham etc. It's 7 nights per trip, Saturday - Saturday, 3rd week of each month during the school year (Sept - May, except December).

My Situation: I currently live in NYC and visit Carrboro/Chapel Hill area 1 week per month, except for the summer. My child was born in NYC, but after our divorce my ex moved herself and our child to the Triangle area. After long and painful negotiation we worked out that I would travel from NYC to NC one week per month during the school year to exercise custody. I am unable to move at this time.

Context: I have been renting AirBnB's monthly for about a year now, and not only is the quality/convenience inconsistent for myself or my child (7 yo), the cost can very widely - often over $1k. Paying rent in NYC plus $1k month on lodging, not included my travel expenses, completely drains my finances.
I'd like to find a place that can be a familiar home base every visit for my child's sake. My hope is that a recurring guaranteed renter, going outside of expensive platforms like AirBnb or Vrbo, will decrease cost for me and give guaranteed cash to a potential renter.

Please DM me if you have any leads! I'm more than happy to provide letters of recommendation from my current and past landlords, proof of income, interview process or whatever else to know this is a legit request.

Free washer/dryer set in Northside Neighborhood. They're yours if you can haul them out of the house. DM me for more information. Have to be gone by June 10th.

Has anyone seen garlic scapes or green garlic available at the farmers market lately?

Hi there! I'm Heather, and I teach photography at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro. I'm looking for some local photo opportunities for my students in the next couple of months and would love to try our new skills in a variety of settings - we are looking for sports teams at practice, events, artists, musicians, chefs, etc - cool people doing cool things, in public, who wouldn’t mind giving some photo enthusiasts a learning opportunity and receiving a range in quality of images. I’ll really work to make it worth your while, but again, it’s a learning opportunity, so some people won’t even have the equipment to get you high-quality images, but you’ll get some for sure! If this sounds cool to you, please fill out my form here. Thanks!!

It seems Nyah Hamlett did not take a salary cut when she left her superintendent job to go become Montgomery County Public Schools' Chief Equity and Development Officer. Unless salaries have been updated from what is currently publicly available, this makes her the second highest paid employee of MCPS.

It's closed due to a fire and electric line being hit. West of the High School as of 3:00pm

Edit: Road is open now.

Could anyone shed some light on the eviction of the homeless encampment removal next to the post office? Was this initiated by the property owner or TOC?

It's quite shocking to see the amount of debris hauled to the curb.

Hello Carrboro!!

I’m starting a small project where I interview people about the stories behind their tattoos. I’m a little nervous about asking strangers, so I thought I’d reach out here first ?

Would anyone be down for a quick, casual interview? We can meet at Weaver Street Market and it’s just a few questions (2-3) about your tattoo story, nothing intense at all

I’m available Monday 2pm to 5:30pm at Weaver, and Tuesday anytime after 5:30pm

Thanks so much to anyone who’s open to helping me get this started !!

at cats cradle tonight, lmk if you’re interested and I’ll email them to you!

I need to get headshots done for my professional profiles (LinkedIn, website, etc.) Does anyone have any photographer recommendations with a portfolio of samples? I’m open to hiring a college student to help grow their portfolio too!

Ideally I’m looking for someone in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, but I’m open to driving to Hillsborough or Durham if needed. Thanks!

Tried to wash some dishes and the water wouldn't go... thought I somehow missed paying the water bill or something but then I checked OWASA and found out my whole neighborhood is experiencing a water shortage. Anyone experiencing the same?

Hi I am a grad student at UNC looking for a 1-bedroom apartment or a room in a house in Carrboro and looking to spend no more than 1400 total per month. I can drive to my classes, but I am looking for someplace that is walkable for the Carrboro area, particularly something that is walkable to Bolin Creek or other nice trails. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have an office in Carrboro coming open for rent on June 1st. Don't want to disrupt this community with an ad, but if you were looking for a small office for 1 or 2 people, where would you look? I have Facebook marketplace and Craigslist ads running, but those don't feel like the places most folks would look. Any ideas?
