Hey y'all!

I'm a student reporter with The Daily Tar Heel writing a story about Breadman's closing after being padlocked by the sheriff's office earlier this month. I want this piece to be about the community, not just the legal/eviction details.

If you have memories of Breadman's (like favorite orders, regulars you knew there, how long you'd been going, what it meant to you or your family), I'd love to hear more about via a quick phone chat.

If anyone worked there, knew the owners, or has thoughts on what should happen to the space next, I'd really appreciate hearing from you too.

Thanks in advance, and shoot me a comment or DM if interested!

Hello Triangle residents!

I'm looking for recommendations for a martial arts school that offers adult beginner classes. I have a few criteria, and am having difficulty finding clarity on some of these online, so I figured I'd ask the people. (EDIT: The intent here to have a structured environment to work on overall health while learning a discipline at the same time.) Most relevant info below:

• I have zero experience
• I'm in my mid-30's
• I'm overweight and out of shape.
• Mostly interested in BJJ and/or Aikido, but open to just about everything.
• Interested primarily in courses (multi-session progression type stuff). I know myself and anything that is drop in/pay per session is something I will have difficulty sticking with. I'd love to find something where I can pay for a series of classes in one go. I don't know how common this is anymore.
• Preferably Durham/Chapel Hill, as I live in Orange County.

Happy to answer any other questions - thank you in advance!

Hi, not from NC but my girlfriend lives there and just moved to Carrboro and I'll be visiting her soon, I'm not exactly familiar with the area so would anyone know any nice date spots to take her?

Can you ride manual scooters at the pump park or is it just bike permitted? I have an 8 year old who never took to riding bikes but my 10 year old would love the park. I don’t want the younger one to feel left out if I take both kids.
