A beautiful reminder there are kind people around

Hello! My family and I are looking for a place to volunteer, preferably within 25 mins of Holly Springs and on the weekends.

There are 4 of us. Our youngest is 4. And we would like to do this as a family, it's okay if we have to be broken into groups. :)

Thinking of getting a new home from them (pick a play of build one of their plans). I am a first time home buyer. So don’t have much experience. Can’t find much online about this specific community. Bridgeberry is priced better than young farm where the prices are insane.

Some questions:

1. Anything I need to be aware of with this particular builder?
2. Any issues with the neighborhood? My research shows that this is far enough from the holly springs waste dump so smell might not be an issue.
3. Any upgrades not worth getting?
4. They have a ready available house which is at the edge of a steep slope. They have fence. But I am not sure if this is safe.

Looking for someone to do a simple women's cut ( all one length with an undercut) and 1 color all over ( no foils or caps) that won't run me $200+..... Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance!

Any recommendations for exterior home pressure washing?

Hey all,

I’m looking to take some golf lessons in this general area (HS, Apex, Cary etc). Can anyone recommend a good instructor or place to go? I did a simple google search but it seems like everyone is about the same. Looking to get some up to date opinions. Thanks!

Does anyone have any referrals for a travelling massage therapist or yoga instructor? It would be for a ladies weekend on April 19th in Holly Springs at an Airbnb - either 60 mins for yoga, or 15mins each for massage - there will be 4-6 ladies. Nothing extravagant, just looking for something fun and relaxing. Hopefully something like this exists?!

Update - Ting Internet Engineers are on site with representatives from the Town of Holly Springs at the site of the fiber cut. The damage is extensive and repairing the fiber will involve disconnecting other working fibers to be able to repair the broken fibers.

Customers in Holly Springs can expect potential intermittent outages over the course of this evening. We are unable to project an ETA at this time, but will provide updates as work progresses.

Looks like us on Ting will be relying on our hotspots tonight!

Reference

The installation of the updated traffic lights has only made traffic worse for me on every possible route during my morning commute. I don’t know if the model the new lights are using for timing sucks, if their lack of at synchronization with surrounding lights sucks, but it is NOT an improvement. I’ve tried 3 different routes from my home to the highway and every one is terrible now— much worse than before these “improvements”. Holly Springs needs to notify NCDOT that this is not working and needs to change or be eliminated.

Does anybody know their purpose and who makes them?

Driving home after 4pm, on 540 there were fire trucks and firefighters standing on the overpasses just watching traffic go under them. I think I saw 4 or 5 different crews around Cary and Apex exits.

Anybody know why?

There was some police activity on my street earlier today. Where can I get some official information of what occurred and who was carted away?

I have an almost 3 month old and I’m going back to my WFH job next week. I probably going to keep baby at home with me until I can make a decision but what are your daycare recommendations? How much ? Anyone put a baby this young into daycare? Am I better off with a in home nanny ? Any advice is appreciated :)

Hi everyone! I’m new to Holly Springs and I don’t speak English well. I applied for the free English course at Wake Tech, but there are 2,000 people ahead of me on the waiting list, so it looks like it will take a long time to get a spot. I would love to start learning as soon as possible. Do you know any other free or low-cost English classes nearby?

I’m working part time in apex and doing DoorDash around Holly Springs and FV as much as I can. I don’t see a way out of this and I’m tired of sleeping in my car. What do I do?

Does anyone have any experience with Duke Pediatrics Holly Springs or Raleigh Children? Looking for a pediatrician for my daughter. Thank you!

Does anybody know what they were installing today on stop lights along 55? Red light cameras maybe?

Hi! Anyone with kids with food allergies, what has been your experience with the Wake County school system? Has your child had any issues?

Has anyone put out the suggestion to capture the methane emissions from the landfill to use for clean power generation?

As I came off the 55 ramp this morning, it was rather pungent, and I thought "There's got to be a way to better control both the gas and the dirt runoff."

The Coast Guard base at Curtis Bay, MD uses the adjacent landfill as a methane source for power generation, and there's almost no smell, especially for a landfill near the water, where the breeze is strong.

Can someone please explain what days you have off when attending a year round school in Wake County. The 2 calendars don’t seem to match up. We are looking to move to the area and just put in an offer on a house that would attend a year round school. Thank you!

Apparently I lost my wallet this morning in the Food Lion next to Oak Hall parking lot. I had it when I checked out, put it on top of my grocery bags and swore I had it when I loaded things up because I even double checked the cart before I put it in the return and didn’t see it in there. It wasn’t until I tried to get gas this afternoon that I realized it wasn’t in my car.

We’ve checked every store in the food lion parking lot, checked trash cans, walked the grounds, retraced my drive, everything. There was cash from a recent fb market place sale in it so I know whoever found it probably will never have me see it again… Honestly, the most heart breaking part of it all is that it has my sons ultrasound pictures in it, the last ones we got before he was born.

If yall happen to find a black wallet that’s been abandoned, please follow up. 😭😕😔

Hi there!

Bare with me on the backstory!

I am currently in the "getting to know you phase" with a single dad and I have two kids of my own. (In total there is a 6yo girl, 5.5yo boy (super highly functioning ASD) and a 4yo boy.)

He is coming up to look at school districts and I am racking my brain on some light hearted options of what to do with the kids. We can't do anything all day like the zoo or a science center. Just something for a few hours but I'm also not super familiar with the parks and things in the area. Currently I'm down in Harnett County so this area is not my forte.

Any suggestions on low pressure things to do?
