Hi everyone! I recently moved here from LA, where there were great outdoor spots full of people training together, and I really miss that vibe. Does anyone know of a street workout spot in or around RTP that adults actually use?

I'm specifically looking for high bars with clear space in front and behind, so I can do swings and kipping movements without hitting anything. Most playground or fitness-trail bars I've found here are too low or too close to other equipment.

Any places you'd recommend? And if there's a group that meets up to train outdoors, I'd love to join. Thanks!

Everyone needs a Kevin in their life… including me! 🙈🧡

Kevin and his best friends is looking for his forever home, and I’m willing to drive for the right home. He’s currently with me in Concord, NC.

He is seriously the funniest little guy! He loves people, talks to you, follows you everywhere, and sometimes runs up and jumps on you like he’s trying to scare you. 😂 He loves watching TV and being part of everything you do..basically a dog in a cat’s body.

But underneath all that energy, he’s such a baby. 🥹 When he gets sleepy, he cries until you help him settle. When he wakes up, he looks for you like, “Where did you go?” Then he wants to be held like a baby until he calms down.

You can hold him, cuddle him, and love on him..he enjoys it all. He has endless energy, but he’s a good boy who doesn’t destroy things. He just wants to play and stay close to you.

And wet food four times a day, please! He’ll ask, stare, and make sure you know it’s mealtime. He’s also discovered that stealing my other cats’ food is part of his job.

Kevin’s story is special. Someone found him near Columbia, SC, while traveling. With the shelter already closed, they somehow found our Charlotte-based rescue’s home address and brought him there. We still don’t know how they found the address! The rescue was completely full, but its founder couldn’t turn him away.

She was grieving the loss of her beloved kitty, and Kevin came into her life bringing some much-needed love.

Kevin is about 6 months old, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and combo-test negative.His friends are also fully vetted.

🐾 He’d love to go home with his friend Archie, Rita, or both!

• Archie is a 4–5-month-old boy found in the Triangle area.
• Rita is an approximately 11-month-old girl found in the Mooresville area.

Adoption requirements:

• Adoption application
https://form.jotform.com/221983264497165
• Adoption agreement
• Vet reference
• Indoor-only home

Adoption fees:

• $150 for one kitty
• $250 for two
• $300 for all three

If your home is missing a little comedian and a very cuddly baby, please reach out. Kevin will make you wonder how you ever lived without him. 🙈🐾

Hey RTP!

I'm looking to get a custom neoprene mat created with a specific size and design. Does anyone know a business in the area that might be able to accommodate something like this?

I've added the design image here as a reference and the size would be in the ballpark of 28" x 24"

Thanks in advance!

Hey, im 18 and im looking for a room somewhere in Raleigh, preferably close to the 27613 area. Would like to keep rent below 800 if possible. Looking for something relatively short term for now(≤ 6 months). I'll be out of the house most of the day either at school or work, so I won't really be in the way much. I'm not super picky about my living situation, as long as the place is clean and the roommates are respectful im good.

Looking for a private owner as my situation is a bit unique, I can explain more 1 on 1 later. If you've got anything lmk or shoot me a private message. 

Thanks.

Hi all, I am talking to a seamstress and wanted to get a second opinion on the size of my wedding dress.

Basically the size I tried on in the store was already a tiny bit too big but I want to add a corset back, so the bridal shop recommended I size up to have the extra fabric. Now I'm talking to the seamstress who said it should've been sized down. I don't know shit about tailoring but she said it may be too big to take in that much (I assume because then everything would need adjustments?).

It doesn't make a ton of sense to me so I want to hear another professional opinion. Thank you for any recs! <3

One of the questions in Apex’s grass-clipping debate is: Morrisville sends its yard waste, including grass, to Raleigh — so why can’t Apex do the same?

I’m the N&O reporter who wrote this.

I looked into that as part of a comparison of five Wake municipalities. Apex officials say using Raleigh would require an agreement with the city plus a transfer operation because Apex handles a much larger volume.

Which areas of downtown Raleigh in downtown Durham or no go for renting a single-family home? (no section 8 housing next to me, no high crime )

Planning to going around with the realtor, but not getting straight answers ahead of our appointment

Interested in getting my crawlspace encapsulated and am looking for recommendations on someone to do the job. I think it is somewhere between 500-800sqft but I am not entirely sure of the exact size. I don’t really know the typical cost of an encapsulation so if anyone can tell me how much they paid, size of your crawlspace, the and how long ago it was done, I appreciate it to get a reference point. I am hoping not to spend a small fortune if possible.

Wondering if anyone knows any official or unofficial places that ravens fans meet up to watch games on Sunday. Fox and Hound is listed as closed online, but that is the only bar on the ravens website in the triangle.

Heads up, this place has a serious roach infestation. From the inspection report:

Observed cockroaches in 13 out of the 18 rooms inspected. Floor three is currently closed to guest due to pest activity. The rooms have not been cleaned. They planned to clean after the treatment. However, the vacant rooms with trash, left over food, soiled towels and linens are creating a harborage for pest.

Hey everyone! I’m a student at NC State, and I have a class project where I need to interview a business owner or entrepreneur about their experience.

I’ve been having a really hard time finding someone who is willing to do an interview, so I figured I’d reach out here. If you own a business, run a small business, or are an entrepreneur in the Raleigh area and would be willing to help me out, I’d really appreciate it!

The interview would be fairly short and can be done by Zoom, or in person—whatever is easiest for you.

If you’re interested, please comment or send me a DM. I’d really appreciate the help! 🙏

The N&O obtained these records. I am one of the N&O reporters who covered this story.

The records show Cary staff discussing whether a building near RDU could be used for an ICE-related office with daytime detention space. Three council members told us they had not known about the inquiry.

I am sharing it here as this concerns the broader Triangle.
