Trying to find a good West Indian restaurant. Specifically looking for Trinidadian doubles, I’ve not been able to find anywhere. Will travel to surrounding areas!

Looking for a strong, hard worker to help me move a big pile of soil from my driveway to my backyard. Prefer someone with a wheel barrow so we can load one while the other moves the other (i have one). Will pay cash on per hour basis. I'll probably get back to working 9 AM sunday. I'm very near Ten Ten Rd/US 1. DM me for details. Thanks!

(mods, let me know if this kind of post isn't allowed)

I heard that it will be closing soon. The bar not the ice cream. Is that true? What a great place with many memories there! Ugh

Like many people, when I read the words “Parks Bond” I get excited over green space acquisition and development of beautiful open areas to relax, play with the kids, hike, picnic, etc.

However the current Bond Proposal allocates less than 10% to parks and green space.

The remaining $510 million is allocated to:

• South Hills/ Buck Jones Rd $300 million community center. The facility is located at Cary’s border with Raleigh and will showcase basketball courts and gaming stations for electronic sports. Town of Cary does not yet know how much will need to be spent on land acquisition or lease.

• Mills Park Community Center - $150 million. This NW Cary area already boasts state of the art YMCA and Rex Wellness Center.

• Cary Tennis Park - $60 million to tear down existing club house and build a new one with shaded stadium seating and parking garage; 25 pickleball courts.

Approval of the bond will necessitate a 9 cent property tax increase, costing the owner of a $500k home (average in Cary) $450-$500 per year for the next 20 years. $560 million in borrowing with interest accrued over the 20 year bond life is nearly a BILLION dollars to be repaid thru raising Cary property taxes.

Bond language clearly states taxes will have to be raised again and again on top of this to staff, maintain and operate these centers.

Renters - you are not immune to these increases as landlords will pass them along to you by raising your rent.

This audacious proposal comes on the heels of a massive Wake County property tax hike of 25-40%.

Please join me in making your voice heard with a collective, resounding NO to Cary Town Council on this astronomical and fiscally irresponsible Bond.

I was at the Apex Costco this morning and was shocked at the number of people buying large amounts of paper products and water. One lady with a cart full of these products exclaimed to her friend "everyone is doing the same thing we are." I politely asked her if they were buying to donate to WNC. She looked at me like I had two heads and proceeded to tell me there's going to be a shortage...she's buying for herself. I was in disbelief. I simply told them both that's not true and they need to watch different news. Right wing media, Facebook and X are destroying humanity. We have people in our state desperately in need and people too blind to think of anyone but themselves.

Anyone know what's up with the new Paris Baguette in Cary on Cary Towne Blvd near Ollie's and Planet Fitness? It's been under construction amd "coming soon" for what seems like over a year.

I saw a large police presence at the Wells Fargo on Kildaire Farm this morning before 10 am. I was told by Taco Bell employee the bank was robbed. I can't find anything about it on WRAL. Any news out there fellow Caryites?

Just throwing this out there to help get the word out. We are moving our video game bar from downtown Durham to Cary. It's been a long haul getting everything approved by the town and us building, but we have finally got everything moving forward. The team has been eagerly upfitting our new location beside the Kabuki Japanese Steak House & Sushi restaurant. Our new address will be: 216 Nottingham Dr., Cary NC.

Who Are We?

We are the first electronic sports (esports) bar in North Carolina. We specialize in craft beer, gamer influenced cocktails, and now with this new location, small bites from our new kitchen. You can enjoy all of this while playing you favorite video games while you eat or while you drink at the bar. As a spinoff of a traditional sports bar, you can also watch you favorite competitive tournament for various games.

Isn't This Just A LAN Center?

Nope. We do not charge per hour to play. We do encourage you to purchase something, which is essentially allowing you to set your own price point. Otherwise, we just want people enjoying and playing games!

Do You Do Table Top or Pen/Paper Games?

We do! Now that we have a kitchen, we have switched to booths with TV's. We also have added dedicated adjustable lamps that can provide additional spotlighting to the table for board games, D&D, and more!

What Type of Video Games Will You Have?

We will have a huge focus on competitive video games that are often used for electronic sports (esports). This include games such as League of Legends, DOTA2, Street Fighter, Tekken, Fortnite, CS:GO, Call of Duty, HALO, Smash Ultima, and many more. We also use Nintendo Switches at every booth for more casual games like Mario Kart, Zelda, Minecraft, Pokemon, and as well other popular titles. We will also have legacy HALO at the bar for 4v4v4 LAN setup for those old school players looking to play like we did as kids.

Will You Do Live Bands like in Durham?

Yes! We will continue to have live video game music from bands such as Turnabout Players, who allow locals to bring their own instruments and play popular retro video game music with them. We also plan to still have the Genius Party, which is local hip hop and producer group featuring local hip hop artist and more.

What Are The Age Requirements?

We are a bar and tailored for 21+ but we do allow kids up until 7:30PM as long as accompanied by an adult. We do offer a range of mocktails/non-alcohol options too.

Am having to get some underground pipes replaced in my front yard which will require a good chunk of my lawn and part of a hill to be dug up. They will just backfill it with dirt when they finish so I need to find someone that can come in and restore the lawn and shrubs. Anyone have a recommendation?

I'm an indie fantasy author based here in Cary, and I'm looking for local businesses that are open to supporting independent authors. Specifically, I’m hoping to find some local bookshops or coffee shops that might be interested in selling or displaying my books.

I know many places enjoy collaborating with local creatives, so if you have any suggestions or know of any businesses that are indie-author-friendly, I’d love to hear about them! I’d also be happy to help promote their shop in return.

Thanks so much for any leads or advice!

Heard that there was some kind of hearing scheduled for the 30th. What happened with that?

Also I saw Kevin’s Karen wife in a restaurant the other day. It was crazy. I’m not going to give more info because that’d be doxxing

Any computer repairs/parts stores in the area carry used computer parts? Specifically looking for Ryzen 3000/5000 series cpus.

Hey all, l've had many many people asking if they can help with cleanup efforts after the flood. I've gotten plugged in with some community organizers. This is for laborers only not search and rescue or social services of any kind. This is a private group and I'll need to ok you with a quick chat before you're let in. There's some warnings and disclosures you must read and agree to before joining the sub. First step is to request to join here but if you’re having a hard time just send me a private chat.

Hello everyone. We are in Cary NC for a few nights and wondered what restaurants serve Taiwanese Breakfast? My first search pulled up Taipei 101 and Love Bao, but neither featured "Fan Tuan" on the menu. Anyone know of any "off menu" place that serves them?

I'm looking to reserve some lanes at the Cary Bowlero for a corporate team building event. We will be ordering food etc., but I want to make sure that the Cary location is nice enough for our executive team. Can anyone vouch for how "nice" it is inside? Would love to hear if anyone else has experience with group events there, or get insight on the food/drinks as well.

Curious if anyone else is running or has run this in the past. Course info email stresses no road or road crossings are closed to traffic, which I figure is a bit odd for a ~500 runner event.

EDIT: Shoutout whoever came in here and downvoted everyone. I appreciate the replies, probably will be avoiding this one in the future.

I’ll be moving soon and thought it would be a good idea to plug in ◡̈

In the past, when you bought a new appliance (i.e. refrigerator) haul-away of the old unit with delivery of new appliance used to be free; it's becoming less standard. The ToC only charges $20, while stores charge up to $50.

Looking to sell our 2015 Volvo S60. In great shape and only 55,000 miles on it. Wondering where the best place would be to sell it? I’ve never sold a car before as we have mostly only had leases previously. For safety, I’d maybe prefer to sell it to a place/company rather than to someone off Facebook. Anyone have a good experience somewhere before?

I already know of many in Raleigh and dropped off some supplies yesterday. But curious if anyone knows of anywhere in Cary taking supplies today?

Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm curious if anyone knows the story of the homeless woman who pulls her belongings behind her? I see her on Maynard and High house all the time.

Does Cary have a street welfare division who talks to homeless and documents them?

Winter is coming and concerned about her.

Hi, I have three questions!

First, does anyone know of a place in the Raleigh-Durham area that dyes clothing? I have a few white dresses and jumpsuits that I won’t wear again since they’re fully white, but I’d love to have them dyed a different color.

Second, does anyone know where I can get a bridal bouquet preserved as a tray or framed artwork?

Third, can anyone recommend boutiques that sell dresses for a rehearsal dinner or welcome party (as the bride)? I’ve shopped at Southpoint and Crabtree but haven’t found anything, so I’m hoping there are some local boutiques that can help.

Thanks!

Over the next month or two, try to be forgiving for traffic, people asking for directions, etc. A lot of people are going to move eastward temporarily or permanently. Many will have lost everything the own... or worse. Stores that are normally stocked will run out of goods faster. There will likely be a lot of children as well as a marked increase in unhoused populations. There are a few things most people can do to help when they start to ask for public aid, which will likely be tomorrow through Monday.

-Donate $10+, that's a pack of water/2 gallons and enough non-perishable food for 1 day. It may be a week without coffee or not buying that chicken and using beans instead, but it's important.

-If you prepped supplies for this storm and didn't use them, donate them if you have the means.

-Start sorting through and packing clothes you no longer wear. Make sure they're washed as there's no guarantee the receivers will be able to wash them.

-If you have allergy friendly non-perishable food items or can afford to purchase them, do that.

-Toys may seem like an odd thing to donate, but remember that kids are also a part of this. That $3 yo-yo or pop-it matters. It's a distraction.

-Non-perscription medicines of any kind.

-There will be students who have lost everything. If you have school supplies, donate.

-This may be weird, but if you have spare furniture you were planning to sell but you don't need the money, now is an excellent time to donate that furniture to habitat restore if it's in any sort of okay quality. This includes building supplies.

Remember to always check the donation location to see how, what, and when they are accepting things.

I’m looking for an early morning ride to the airport about 5:30 am. I generally take Ubers and schedule ahead but can’t count on one available for early in Cary. Super easy when I would be back home in Minneapolis

. I’m 8 miles from the airport. Any suggestions? I’m seeing ones on Nextdoor that are $50-$60. Maybe that’s the going rate. Don’t know. I guess I’m thinking that I can take an Uber to downtown for $16 so why is the airport so much ?

Does anyone know of a barber that specializes in taking care of larger beards? Trimming, shaping, etc?
