Whoever you voted for or are still going to vote for the very best of luck to you. Someone will win and someone will lose because that's how elections work.

Chapel Hill has a long tradition of tolerance so once the dust settles let's remember we are all lucky enough to live in Chapel Hill, the southern part of heaven.

It is wonderful we get the settle our differences at the ballot box so thank you to all those people who are giving up their precious time to run the polling locations and count the vote.

Thank you all very much for participating in our democracy and let's hope we all come together after the election and ensure Chapel Hill remains a welcoming and inclusive place.

Got this parking ticket in a private lot in Chapel Hill NC. I paid and feel like this is a scam. Anyone know anything about this?

NC's "Culture of Corruption" from Coast to Raleigh to D.C. Damns Asheville Flood Victims.

The FBI, US Department of Justice, Dept. of Education, and NC and local officials in Eastern NC have with the Federal agencies aided and colluded these crimes, despite the undeniable actionable and likely admissible evidence possessed by local, NC and Federal government, judicial, law enforcement and other “trusted” institutions, the media, and much of the public and despite the increasing numbers of victims who have sought action, justice, criminal & corrupt priorities have been the unchallenged priority, the established policy of N.C, for decades.

NC, Federal government, judicial, law enforcement & “trusted” institutions, media, general public, despite increased victims who have sought action, justice, criminal & corrupt priorities have been the unchallenged and unchecked priority and established policy for decades and the traumatized victims and grieving families DO NOT MATTER one bit to local officials, the State of NC, NC SBI, Attorney General or Governor, or the FBI & DOJ and other allies who have aided and colluded in these crimes and advanced this set of priorities.

Instead of saving or preparing for a “rainy day” or promoting moral or public interest policies and using their governmental & judicial powers for public interests, lawful purposes, Head Start, prosecuting abusers, rapists, violent corrupt law enforcement, DAs, US DOJ, FBI, AG Josh Stein, Roy Cooper, Pat McCrory value Corruption. NC has elected to spend millions for abusive, corrupt purposes and to destroy any “threat” to this cherished traditional violent corruption. Abuses, torture of children, dogs, innocent victims matters not to Reps, Dems, media, clergy, communities in NC, esp. Wilmington.

I am a late fifties mom who has moved back to CH after going here for grad school in the ‘90s. Kids will be in town over Thanksgiving week. Any recommendations for bars on the Friday evening after Thanksgiving? One will have just turned 21. The other two are 24 and 26. Looking for a fun and lively atmosphere and they would hit a few different bars if people bar hop in walking distance. Thanks!

Hi folks!

I am a newly-freelancer web developer looking to build my network as I grow my business!

To that end, I was thinking of designing free websites for people in exchange for a referral!

I am coming from an agency background so once we have the initial design hammered down we can discuss some of the juicier stuff like custom apps, search engine optimization, and the like if you would be interested in taking it all the way!

My real specialty is in building funnels that get people to convert and keep buying from you, and building a sleek website/landing page is one of those key steps in that process.

But yeah, drop a comment if you need a new website or a revamp of an existing one!

Looking forward to connecting!

Hey All,

Nerdy post incoming!

I'm one of the hosts for Neopets Birthday Party the weekend of November 15-17th.

The Raleigh party will be happening at East Coast Gaming/Limited Run Retail in Cary on November 16th 4-7 pm.

There will be merch available, virtual code prizes, food/drink available for purchase at Geekery Tavern, and local Neopians to meet and make connections with!

I made a Google Doc to gauge how many people might be coming. Tell your friends that play or used to play! This event is for everyone. =)

As the title says, looking for a local source of live pinkie mice for a baby hognose snake. My fiancée's young hognose snake has gone on quite the little hunger strike, and after trying almost everything myself and our breeder can think of, they've suggested trying live.

Before you comment about live not being ideal, trust me we know! I've had snakes for over a decade and I'm well aware of the risks feeding live, but believe me we've tried literally everything (warming, in the tank, out of the tank, in a container IN the tank, leaving him with it, braining, scenting with tuna, scenting with toads, switching brands, etc etc) and our breeder has agreed that we should try live at least long enough for him to eat. He shows no other signs of illness/injury and is not losing weight so at the moment we'd like to spare the stress of a vet visit until we've exhausted all of our options.

We're in the Chapel Hill area but I go to school in Raleigh so I'm willing to go to somewhere in that area, but we've had little luck finding anywhere that still supplies live feeders.

Just heard about the 50 year plan to transform 250 acres of Carolina north forest into a campus. Was not aware of this and I guess it’s now being considered as one of the six potential spots for the new basketball arena. Does anyone have any update or information on this and whether the university still plans to expand?

Has anyone here attended this event before?

Anyone know of anyone who practices acupuncture and massage in combo? Moved from Asheville and I’m looking for a Chinese medicine practitioner who can help with healing. Thanks

I'm getting ready to interview for a staff position at UNC. I'm from Alaska, born and raised, and lived here all my life but traveled frequently all over. I love things like MMA, powerlifting, sports, mountain biking, hiking, BJJ, boxing, kizomba, dancing, museums, TTRPGs, cultural events, drag shows, the maker scene and crafting, plays etc.

My home city is smallish compared to lower 48 but extremely diverse with great food and arts scene and access to mountains and single track 15 minutes from my townhouse as well as awesome gay bars and music scene.

What is Chapel Hill like in comparison? I'm a late 30s single cishet white dude but huge ally/feminist and love both lots of outdoor fitness stuff as well as tons of culture and nightlife.

Is there good mountain biking? Gyms? Music events? What's the EDM and bluegrass scene like? Is there good dancing for Kizomba or salsa or clubs? Good tabletop roleplaying game scenes? Climbing gyms? Bike shops?

Is this a good fit for someone who loves both to climb mountains as well as dance in a club? Would be there a diverse amount of things to do and access to outdoors? Is the community fairly southern Republican types surrounding the college areas? Would my Alaskan-style liberal lifestyle (think hunts and shoot guns; but also enjoy attending Pride and going to feminist spoken word stuff) fit in ok there?

I've been doing a ton of reading and googling but also find the locals tend to give the best feedback. I wouldn't know anyone at all and would be completely rebuilding a community. I'm looking at a few other jobs elsewhere in the lower 48 and trying to find the best fit!

I appreciate any help and advice you can give. Thank you!!

Hi! I’m looking for suggestions for haunted houses, mazes, or other Halloween activities for a group of three near Chapel Hill. Anyone know anything that’s not super far away?

Hello Everyone, I just recently moved to Chapel Hill from the desert climate of Arizona and I was wondering how often you guys see cockroaches out here! In my apartment, I see one or two about every two weeks or so and was curious if this is a common thing I'll likely see everywhere due to the wet climate or if this is a problem with my area. I'm also on a ground floor of an outdoor complex, so I'm thinking that's also a contributing factor. Please let me know your experiences!

Also, I'm interested in moving apartments for a place with thicker walls and floors. It would be nice to not hear all of my neighbors... Activities. If you have any recommendations for apartments, please let me know! Thank you for your time.

EDIT: I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the input (if you look at this post again). I just came from a place where you would only see a roach once every few months, so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything out of the ordinary here! Cheers!

100,000 households currently need placement.

They of course prefer closer but are accepting interest right now from elsewhere:

Hey everyone! I’m interested in connecting with other songwriters in the Durham area for potential collaboration. While I’m not a strong live musician or anything beyond an average singer, my strengths lie in songwriting and composition. I’ve got a basic foundation in music theory—I’m comfortable working in all diatonic keys, as well as non-diatonic keys and modes. I’m also familiar with harmonic songwriting concepts like secondary dominants, borrowed chords, parallel chords, etc.

Musically, I’m inspired by classic Beatles-esque sounds, drawing from bands like The Zombies, Harry Nilsson, and The Beach Boys. I also love the melancholy side of the '80s—think The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, and The Sundays. Additionally, I’m influenced by classic R&B and soul artists such as Stevie Wonder, Prince, and Curtis Mayfield, along with singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Fiona Apple. I’m more drawn to recorded studio music than live performances.

If you’re a songwriter in the area and think we’d vibe creatively, feel free to reach out. I do have demos I can share and swap. My instruments are piano, guitar and synthesizer. Like I said, I'm not a session musician by any stretch but I am proficient on the instruments.

My first thought when I turned on the radio in the car and just heard static wasn’t “my radio is broken” or “their transmitter is broken,” it was “guess this is how I find out WW3 started.” Glad it’s not that!

Anyone know the best violin teachers in Chapel Hill and whether any are available?

A 25 mph neighborhood street in Northeast Chapel Hill clocked cars going 76 mph. Will the town do anything meaningful, or are they waiting for a tragedy? My latest over for Chapel Hill on Bikes: https://chapelhillonbikes.substack.com/p/76-mph-honeysuckle-road
