Home Inspector

Does anybody have any recommendations for an excellent home inspector that is very critical and detailed when looking at homes?

Halloween with kids

Hey new neighbors - this is our first Halloween in New Bern, and I was spoiled spoiled in our old home in terms of community Halloween events. I haven't been able to (edit - **lock) down the equivalent here by internet searching - is there a special neighborhood or street where everybody (incl. kids) goes to hang out and trick or treat? Do you just kind of pick your location? If my kids stay on my street outside of downtown, will people be home and participating?

Thanks for your thoughts guys.

Got a mail from City of New Bern about a missing electric bill payment though I paid?

I unexpectedly got a mail saying that I missed a payment of $8 (I was moving out so I didn't owe much) for the month of June. My dumb a** checked this mail late (I hardly check my mail since all my bills are electronic), so as a result I'm being sent collections and it will come off my tax refund according to the letter.

However, I checked my bank account, turns out I paid $30 for the month of June (I remember I made this payment over the phone with a utility rep). But when I check my bill online, it says I owe $8 rather than $30 which is confusing me. And yes, I verified that $30 is not a bill for any other addresses and that the times match too.

What are my options here? Has this happen to anyone? I'll give them a call tomorrow when they open.

What’s up with fishing this year?

I don’t have a boat so I’ve been limited to shore/pier/kyak fishing. But I’ve been having weeks of skunking out. I keep hearing things get better in the fall when Red’s start to run, but then I also hear people saying that the fishing is very weird/bad this year. Anyone know what the deal is? Also, if anyone has any recommendations for fishing spots, fresh or saltwater is both great. I live around Fairfield so anything around there would be great.

Looking for new home for 2 yr male German Shepherd.

My family is currently looking for a new home for our German Shepherd as we are unable to train him and he has started to become very lazy and sad. We want to find a family that has ample money and space to train and take care of him. He is sometimes aggressive towards strangers but has never seriously bitten anyone before. He still has the teething and jumping habits of a puppy. I've been sitting on this decision for a long time but procrastination and my love for him has gotten in the way. Send me a message for more information and thank you.

Great Lake Rd

Does anyone know if the forest road that turns off Holston Hunter Trail to Great Lake in the Croatan Forest is open yet? I’ve been trying it every few months but still blocked and under reconstruction after Florence.

Thanks!

Women's haircut specialists in New Bern?

My partner and I are touring a home close to downtown next week (moving spring 2025) and I'd like to get my bangs re-shaped while I'm there. Any hairstylist recommendations, specifically someone who has an eye for haircuts? Someone who specializes in alternative haircuts would be even better, however, I'm not picky. Thanks!

Found Purse/Wallet at MumFest Today

We found a small purse/wallet at Mumfest today. Had some cash and a Debit card. We waited around the spot for awhile and I asked a couple of folks. No luck. I tried to call the bank # on the debit card and couldn’t reach a person. I turned it into the city manager and chief of police at their booth by city hall. Call the police department or city.

Recommended areas to live/avoid

My husband and I will be moving to the area for his job next year, but know nothing about it, or even NC! While we have decided we would like to look in New Bern, we would also be open to areas around it if anyone has other suggestions? We'd be renting to start with and so are starting to gather ideas of where we'd like to be. I don't think I will be working for the first few months, so it would be nice to find somewhere close to some amenities that are easy to get to/walk if possible.

Are there any areas that you would recommend for people to live? We don't have any children yet but that is in the plan for the near future so if it all goes to plan, we'd have a young family while we live there. Similarly, are there any areas that you would avoid? Any suggestions would be really helpful!
