Please let me know if you've got any experience?

I’m trying to find someone in the area that can do either a builder gel nail or Russian manicure? I’m wanting to keep my natural nail length and the integrity of my natural nails. Is there anyone in the area that can help?

Hey Hickory,

My family lives in spruce pine, by total chance they were out of town getting a part for their RV when the storm hit. Their mountain neighborhood is inaccessible, their neighbors are still trapped and preparing to hike to safety. They are looking for a place to live in their RV for now. Is there anywhere in hickory that has space for them?

Who do you guys recommend for a crown

With i40 west open only to emergency traffic, does anyone know the best route into Swannanoa?

We are trying to find a place to stay after being displaced by the storm.

Those of you that doordash. Do you find that you make more doing it by hour or by offer? Trying to make some extra money while I'm going through the hiring process with a new job.

Could someone please help me with directions for getting to Pigeon Forge from Hickory or Morganton area? I have to go to Pigeon Forge for work tomorrow, and I am struggling to find a route that doesn't include closed roads such as I40W. I had figured that the more popular apps would have updated these things by now. I have tried Google Maps and Waze, and both are still trying to send me up I40W which is obviously out of the question. I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer me. Thank you!

Hey, I’m a young sports photographer looking to take some more pictures if you or your children are interested in some please feel free to message me I will give you my page to look at my current pictures I have taken!

In the Hildebran area looking for a local mobile mechanic for a break change. With the situation at hand with the weather, it’s been hard to find an appointment that works with my work schedule. I have the brake pads and parts needed, you will need to provide or come prepared with your own tools. I’m not looking for anything FREE!! Just trying to find a more reasonable solution for my problem. Any info or is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Would anyone recommend someone that could install a closet similar to a linen closet. Something to hang stuff and put stuff on?

I'd really love to assist with helping people, especially in western NC after helene but I'm not sure what I can do. I'm a teenager and my teachers encouraged us to see if we could offer any assistance to people. I heard that they needed some help at the airport unloading supplies but that's all I heard and I'm not sure if their still doing that.

Good morning Hickory. Asheville here.

Looks like I40 east out of Asheville has opened for traffic. you may start seeing some of us looking for supplies.

How is your town doing infrastructure wise? Are stores open?

To be honest, if my choice is wait 3 hours in line to get a ration of nonperishable things locally or drive 3 hours round trip to get real food, I'll take the drive. I'd rather not drive to find the same ration lines of course, any tips on places in normal operation are appreciated.

Hey so I know there was a discord posted a while back however it needed some love so I made a new cleaner nicer one.

During this time community and helping each other is super important, I’ll be posting any alerts I get as well incase anyone didn’t get them.

Just a heads up. The county is essentially being used as a staging area. The community college is closed for the week because they're using it for trucks and emergency prep and relief.

There are so many cars on the road it's insane. I've never seen so many cars on the road. And people are driving really stupid. Add to it that folks from Alexander and Caldwell are using a lot of back roads to get to where they need to go, it's a recipe for disaster.

Drive carefully and have some grace. Be kind to others and don't be impatient.

If there's any way you can help others, let's show a little kindness. It could be us and we'd want people to do the same.

Has anyone been to Geitner? Daycare is closed tomorrow and I'd like to spend some time outside but I'd rather not drive into Hickory if it's in rough shape. I heard the River Walk took some damage but not sure about the paved paths.

Just moved and the equipment arrived today but they won't let me activate it because of a supposed outage but to my knowledge everyone around has internet working. Does anyone NOT have internet working in Viewmont/LRU area?

Please share with those without power/Internet.

I think it might be up again. I’m back online RAGGHHHH

From my apartment community (around Center St. & 29th Ave./Viewmont area) management:

"There are reports that a main Spectrum cable has been severed and is currently underwater, causing widespread outages in our area. There is no estimated time of service recovery; however, it's rumored to be a week or two until we can see service restored."

Happy Panther Day everyone! I am looking for somewhere to watch the game today near Hickory. I live in the foothills and there is no internet from here to the mountains. Not sure if hickory has internet either but I'm assuming they are better off then where I am. I'd also be willing to go to Linconton or even all the way to charlotte if need be.

Any sort of good events to go to to meet someone around here?
