hello thrilladelphians,

Like many, I used to play games at Cerebral Hobbies, the game store that used to be downstairs under cosmic, johnny t-shirt, subway etc. I am looking for a picture of the sign that hung over the door. it's for an art project. If anyone has any pictures they can share, I would really appreciate it! thank you.

My wife and I are coming into town next week. We will be working remote. I’m looking for recommendations for some things! Cool coffee shops to work from, restaurants to try, fun things to do, etc. We’ve never been to Chapel Hill so any insight is welcome!

Hi All!

I’m looking at moving to the CH area in Fall 2025 and would like some recommendations on apartment complexes. I’m needing a 1 bed/1 bath preferably within a 20 minute drive to campus. I would love to stay in the $1000-$1300 budget if possible, but can stretch up a little higher.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Any opinions on Camden Governor’s Village?

Another edit (lol): I’m a grad student & already park in the Friday Center Lot. I may be able to get parking at my school next year.

Hi! I'd like to walk on elephant rock trail tomorrow morning. It seems the botanical gardens themselves are closed until 1pm. Is access to the trail independent of the gardens opening time?

Hi all, I'm (25M) looking to get into rope climbing at TRC and hoping to find someone else who is a beginner to learn and progress with. I'd like to eventually start lead climbing outdoors as well. I also enjoy hiking/trail running. If this sounds like you, drop me a dm!

I am new to Chapel Hill this year! Where do you get your Christmas trees in Chapel Hill, or even the whole triangle area? I know there’s a similar post like this from a year ago, but there’s little to no prices mentioned. I’m curious to know the price range for different spots here!

Would appreciate any recs for a day of coordinator for a Chapel Hill wedding.

Hello, I just started flying RC Planes and am looking for a group who also enjoys flying.

Is it just my neighborhood (north of the town)? Coyote central these past few months. It's insane. They yip and howl.

Hi everyone,
I’m heading back to Chapel Hill for Thanksgiving—it's my hometown, and my family still lives there. While I’m away, I’ve asked my colleague’s daughters (a 3rd grader and a 6th grader) to catsit for me while I'm gone. I’d love to bring them back a local gift as a thank-you, but I’m not sure what would be a good fit.
If nothing comes to mind, I’m considering getting them Carolina sweatshirts, but at $50+ each, that feels a bit pricey. Any suggestions for something more affordable that still represents Chapel Hill? What’s something local that 3rd and 6th graders / their family might enjoy?
Thanks in advance for your ideas!

I am looking for someone in the surrounding Chapel hill area who specializes in Builder gel/gel manicures. I currently do my own builder gel but would love to see someone experienced show me a little more.

I’m currently seeking gym space to host volleyball lessons. Does anyone know of any locations that have a reasonable rental fee? Thanks in advance!

Curious about the Stoneridge-Sedgefield neighborhood. How family friendly for young kids? Is this the kind of neighborhood where kids are playing outside, riding bikes, trick or treating? Or does it skew more towards retired folks, empty nesters? Edit to correct name

basically what the title says, was just wondering if anyone would be able to share their experience as to what working on the unit was like

Planning on having a nice birthday weekend in Chapel Hill- what are the best romantic/fine dining ish restaurants in the area these days? Any thoughts about the nicest hotel in town?

Hello!

My husband and I are looking to accept jobs at UNC chapel hill. (We do not have any kids currently but would like to start a family once we establish roots). We are moving from Texas, so we are not very familiar with the area. I wanted to reach out and see if any of you lovely Chapel Hill residents could help us narrow down our home search area. Here is what we are hoping to find:

3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home 2 + acres Within 40 minute drive to campus Ideally under 400k

Is this realistic? We have always rented so we would be first time home buyers.

Any and all feedback is so greatly appreciated! Thank you :)
