Hello,
Are you aware of any restaurant or bakery that serves Chicken crust Pizza.
Even a Take and Bake is fine. Please do let me know - thanks.

I seem to have a hard time finding a quality Bojangles in the area as I have had bad experiences at the Chatham St, Airport Blvd, and HWY 55 locations on more than one occasion. I have also heard the one off of Davis drive over by H Mart is terrible as well. Is there any hope for Bojangles-loving Cary residents?

Hi 👋 I just moved to Cary. I used to go to Goodwill to look for second hand furnitures but the one in Cary doesn’t seem to have a good collection, just clothing.

Are there other places I could try my luck? Thank you!

Does anyone have a recommendation for who to call about hornets in my house? We have been finding more and more hornets in our upstairs level, not entirely sure where they are getting in. We have done checks around the house, attic, etc. But can’t find the nest. We called several pest control companies, but they are all saying they will only help if the nest is visible. We need someone who will come out and do some exploratory work.

Hey everyone, I just posted to ask about furniture thrifting, and here I am again asking about houseware thrifting options. I love thrifting...

Any good places for things like plates, mugs, organizers? Or maybe anything BUT clothing?

Driving through downtown on Chatham and westward up High House I had to go through 8 stoplighted intersections, every single one is now infested with ALPRs! We need to show up in full force at the next town council meeting, August 28th at 6:30 PM

Nobody likes these things! For the uninitiated, I would direct your attention to this primer or this thread from /r/OutOfTheLoop or maybe some articles would be better?

Maybe how our neighbors in Apex are trying to deflock their community?

There's a unique opportunity in Cary in the Windsor Oaks neighborhood. Few are familiar with cluster or conservation developments. These are neighborhoods where property lots are intentionally designed to be smaller, and a large allocation of land, oftentimes in front and behind each lot, is reserved for common open space. This arrangement helps preserve the natural look and feel of a neighborhood while reducing the initial purchase price (due to the smaller plot of land). Land contributes an average of 20% to the overall price of a home. Today we are hosting an Open House from 2-4PM at 9712 Astor Court. If you know someone looking for a half-acre lot in Cary, a rarity in the more affordable price ranges, encourage them to check out this cluster home development with up to 70% of common area in the neighborhood. The home itself is no different than other stick-built homes. The difference is only in the treatment of the land. Based on land square footage, it lives very differently than a conventionally-designed neighborhood due to the generous portion of land surrounding it.

While the official lot size on this property is 0.26 acres, the effective feel of the property is more like half an acre due to the design of the neighborhood. See the attached plot showing the actual lot lines and the projected lot size if you were to extend the side lines to the front and rear. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a higher quality of life at a lower price point.

This post is intended to inform and educate on the practice of cluster home developments and the benefits of buying in such a neighborhood.

So this is a bit of a vent but also need some recs.

Is there some secret we’re missing to finding a daycare? We’ve toured 3 daycares lately and only one has gotten back to us about availability. After hearing nothing from the other 2 we followed up and found out the spots had been filled.

Most annoyed with Kiddie Academy of Cary because when we called back we were told “we haven’t forgotten about you, we’ll be in touch.” Well after calling back again a week later we were told the spot had been filled….

Are we supposed to be dropping off fruit baskets, writing desperate love letters, or something else? The whole process has been incredibly annoying because it feels like if we aren’t actively following up we are just forgotten about. Even if it’s very clear they are the ones who are going to reach out.

So we are sort of scrambling now after feeling like we were on top of it initially.

Any daycare recommendations for SE Cary? Preferably Lochmere, Coventry, Crossroads area

We’ve tried Kiddie Academy, Goddard, Macedonia Baptist, and Country Sunshine.
The only one with a possibility still is Country Sunshine, which we are on the waitlist for (didn’t hear from them for a while after getting on the waitlist 2 months ago. Called today and they’re going to call back tomorrow with more info).

Hi.

So I'm visiting from out of state and during my time here I plan on taking the bus fairly regularly. I thought the fair within Cary was $2.50 each way, but when I boarded, the driver said it was free?

I am very confused right now? Are some routes free? Are routes within Cary itself free?

Hi. Looking for a reliable general contractor. We have a handful of smaller projects/repairs we’d like to have done around the house such as some deck repairs, fixing/replacing some bathroom baseboards, adding a door (building out the doorframe) to an existing room, and a few other odds and ends. Ideally we’d like to find one general contractor who could tackle all these projects rather than hiring someone separate for each thing.

Anyone personally used someone and had a great experience? Thanks!

So without going too far into it, last year I tried to take my life.

Monday will be the year anniversary and I want to do something to celebrate still being here and all the work I’ve done to stay here every day.

I don’t have much money to spend on doing activities. I’d be able to spend around 100 dollars.

Would anyone be able to give me some recommendations on things I could do to celebrate?

I thought about going out to eno. I also was looking for things like bungee jumping or cliff diving but couldn’t find much.

I love outdoors stuff, art shows, concerts, and just exploring old towns and the history of small towns in nc.

Edit

Thanks to everyone for being so kind and all the suggestions. I’ve been afraid to post about this because I find sometimes people react poorly to this kind of thing understandable.

Yall warm my heart to no end

Edit two

Yall have blown me away.
Through reply’s here, DMs, and even reaching out via Venmo, you all have shared your own struggles, wins, and encouragements.

I absolutely love seeing what everyone likes to go out and do and see how these places matter to all of you.

This last year has felt kind of lonely with me trying so hard to “be ok” for people around me or hiding this major part of myself and my life so people don’t get uncomfortable.

You all have given me so much love and support that it’s short circuited my brain in the best way.

I’ll be responding to every single one of you on whatever platform you reached out to me on.

My dog and I are going to have a truly incredible anniversary thanks to all of you. I’ll post pictures so yall can enjoy the day with my pup and I.

Hi! Does anyone have recommendations for an obgyn that is experienced with PTSD/extreme anxiety during wellness visits? I need to get my annual visit taken care of but I’ve had a few traumatic experiences since my last visit and I will need some type of sedation or anxiety relief. Anywhere in the Triangle area works.

Did yall get hired in the county prior to relocating or did you guys have remote jobs? The job industry sucks just about everywhere right now, but wake county seems to have been on my radar for about a year now.

Curious on what jobs /areas you all came from, what you got hired into, and how are you liking the transition? Why did yall leave your previous states?

On GLP's and I just can't eat a whole bowl of Pho. I've never been happy with take out pho, and leftover take home won't be good either. Anyone know a restaurant that makes small size bowls (with a corresponding, reasonable lower price)? Maybe a child's size they will serve to an adult?

Any personal experience someone could share with this school would be helpful! Or if there's better experiences somewhere else I would love to hear it. It feels like every preschool or daycare I look at either has no openings or a very concerning NC Childcare Search report. Looking for somewhere loving and safe with smaller school ratios.
