Hey there, neighbors!

I’m Rob, and I have a passion for existential philosophy, holistic healthcare, and personal freedoms. I’m on the looking for some friendly locals who share an open-minded and non-judgmental attitude.

If you’d like to chat and get to know me, feel free to send me a direct message! And if you’re not interested, that’s totally okay too—let’s keep our space positive and full of good energy instead of negitive comments in your reply. We could all use a little more love in the world! ☮️

I’m a student ambassador for Somethings - a state-endorsed, free mental health service for teens exclusively in North Carolina. We connect teens with trained young adult peer specialists who can provide guidance, empathy, and support during tough times.

I'm trying to as many parents and teens who might benefit from additional support as possible especially in the wake of Hurricane Helene, especially those navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, etc. Here's where we're mentioned on the NCDHHS site (check the second slide of the carousel), and additionally here's our website outlining our partnerships with the state: www.somethings.com/northcarolina

Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions! And if you want to sign your teen up, go to www.somethings.com/northcarolina and click get started!!

Does anybody have recommendations for where to find physical maps of Garner? My mom just moved here and uses Google maps to drive around just fine, but she wants a physical old school map that she can mark up to help her understand where everything is. The ones we've been able to find mostly cover Raleigh. Didn't think this would be a hard thing to find but I guess nowadays it is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Looking for an apartment since my bf will soon be working in downtown Raleigh. Mainly searching for a 2 bed / 2 bath under $1600.

What apartments have you had experiences—good and/or bad—with? Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated! 🙂

Was inspired by the food truck post.

Mia Bistro is, in my opinion, a great Thai restaurant next to Kaze in White Oak. However, every time I go there is almost NOBODY there. I’m getting worried it will eventually shut down.

We lack a good variety of quality restaurants in this town. Please consider trying this place. They also have excellent Pho. 🍜

The service is also excellent.

Just visited this new food truck in Downtown Garner last weekend. It is called "Pakkaa Local", it is located in the same premises as Zin Yoga & Wine lounge.

Food was great. They had both Indian and American dishes on their menu. A cool spot to checkout in Garner.

Does anybody have any recommendations for nurseries with affordable plants? I love Fairview Garden Center over by Cary but it's expensive :/

My place of work has hundreds of new tshirts that will be thrown away if I can’t find a place that wants them. They are event/branded shirts in adult and youth sizes. Seeking recommendation for (preferably confirmed) places that would want and accept these kinds of donations. I believe requests for WNC are winter wear, not tshirts. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone who lives near NC-42 know what is being built where that Dairy Queen used to be? Or does anyone know where I could look it up. I’m just curious what will be built in that strip of stores after so much construction.

The address I’m talking about is 5596 NC-42, Garner, NC 27529.

Thanks!

I'm looking to buy a cheap used car, and saw a few that were interesting at Atlantic Auto Sales. Wondering if anyone has any experience purchasing a vehicle there? Are they reputable? A decent place to buy from? Or should I be concerned or aware of anything before going there?

Thanks in advance!

Haven’t ordered pizza yet since we moved. What are your favorite pizza places in and around Garner?

Anybody live in Renaissance Park? How’s the community there? How’s life with the HOA there?

Hey, everyone! My name is Noah and I’m new to the Garner area. I’m 31 years old, and I love doing yoga and running. If anyone wants to link up. Let me know!

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.

My wife and I are in the process of buying our first house. I've confirmed that Google Fiber is available in our new neighborhood, and I'm heavily considering using them over Spectrum. I've read good things and bad things, and that it really comes down to the area you live in. Looking to find some thoughts/opinions on Google Fiber from this subreddit

I am relatively new here, so obviously curious to know.. I tried Angie’s and Alexander and loved them both.. but is there anything else that I should be trying ?

Hey folks!

Just wanted to put some info out on a company I just hired to move a large mirror.

This company, Acorn Moving and Delivery, not only cancelled their service after being nearly an hour late, but then laughed at me when I expressed incredulity.

I called the business and tried to speak with the proprietor and he was incredibly rude and confirmed that he could not care less about keeping his word, or working with me to make alternate arrangements.

They can be found on Thumbtack and HireAHelper.

Now my seller and I are left stranded.

Absolutely DO NOT HIRE ❌❌❌

How is Oak Manor neighborhood in Garner NC and any Indians in this neighborhood

Looking for mobile vet recommendations for our mixed breed rescue.

She is kind to people but once at the vet is reactive and we unfortunately have to muzzle, medicate, or sedate her for most visits. Also open to normal vets that are VERY accommodating to reactive dogs.

Thank You!

What is the best barbershop/salon for a male with straight/wavy hair to get an undercut?

Good afternoon everyone!

My name is Rachael and I’m a dental hygiene student with Wake Tech! We’re scheduling patients for our upcoming fall clinics and I am desperately in need of patients between the ages of 4-18. I’ve posted before and I’ve received some really great patients from here.

We offer cleanings for $20-$45 depending on what x-rays are needed. This includes a full cleaning, dentist exam, oral hygiene exam, and more! The appointments you can expect to take about 3-3.5 hours. In exchange for your time we offer really great care!

It would be so incredibly helpful if you or anyone you know might have kids or teens that could come in. We love to serve our communities and it’s a great opportunity for anyone in need or any high anxiety patients.

Thank you!
