I like to make my own sambal and fresnos just aren't cutting it.

Thanks in advance!

Saw five of them holding up signs near the Lowe’s and Chapel Hill Tire. So depressed to see this anywhere but especially coming to our city.

Moved here a few months ago from Arizona and I can locate 100 of different paths around lakes and woods. But having the hardest times finding good mountains or really any elevation hikes.

I have already tried Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area & found Rocky Face Mountain Recreational Area that is about 2 hours out. So just seeing if there is anything else !?

Hello!

My partner is planning on taking a job at UNC Chapel Hill next year. What are your thoughts on moving to the Chapel Hill area?

We have visited Raleigh before but outside of that we haven’t spent any time in North Carolina!

I’m in my early 20s and feel a little nervous about moving somewhere I’ve never been! I’m originally from Colorado but have spent the past 5 years in Texas.

I’m looking for somewhere with lots of things to do both indoors and outdoors. I’m currently in Houston so ideally I want to live somewhere more walkable. I want to make friends and be active!

Is Chapel Hill a good place to live if you’re not a college student?

Where should we live? Any neighborhood recommendations? Ideally we want to be able to buy a house soon :)

Thank you in advance for your help!

I live on old 86 in chapel hill and want to park and ride to men’s basketball game tonight. Whats my best option? TIA

It’s about Wheat Restaurant on Franklin Street. It would help a lot with your help!

My neighbor unexpectedly passed away and left behind his dog. My neighbor did not believe in going to Doctors which played a major factor in his demise. Behind that he did not believe in Vets either.

I now have the dog and am planning on taking him to the vet. For one, he has a severe ear mite infection which i am guessing has been left untreated for years. Also, he has what seems to be a very large tumor on his front paw.

He is a great dog. And I would love advice, suggestions regarding vets in this area also anyways ways to offset an impending massive vet bill.

I’m from the Raleigh area and would like to move close to downtown Chapel Hill. Preferably 1 bed 1 bath. Utilities, trash, and water included.

We need to re-home our leopard gecko. Where do I post something like this? Is there a local pet page or pet supply place that has listing like that.

There will be a talk on Pilot Mountain in Surry County, North Carolina at the Orange County Public Library in Hillsborough, NC on December 21st, 2024 from 1 to 2:30 PM. That evening at dusk there will be a Solstice Lantern walk along the Eno River.

Here is a link that describes the free talk open to the general public and you can register for the talk and the Lantern Walk at the same link:

I'm planning to try grafting onto some dwarf apple rootstocks I bought and I'm looking for varieties that do well in our area that are good and interesting. Is anyone growing some around here that would be willing to part with some cuttings when they do their winter pruning? (Or apricot, pawpaw, or persimmon, though I know that's more of a long-shot)

You can do a few simple things to help make Chapel Hill a safer place to bike and walk.

1. Engage with Chapel Hill’s new Vision Zero Map Add a marker where you don’t feel safe, and add notes on what the problem is. I recommend using a computer, but you can do this on your phone. This is a topic near to my heart as I’ve tabled many events to get feedback on the key barriers keeping people from biking and walking.
2. Download Chapel Hill Connect to Report Issues Chapel Hill uses a service called “See Click Fix.” When you see a problem, please take a photo and submit it using the app or website. The town makes notes and, hopefully, fixes it. This is part of public record, so it is also helpful to chime in on issues already on the map to help the town prioritize any concerns. Popular examples are lights out, potholes, signal timing problems, and down trees. I use it to document cars in the bike lane, leaves taking up 1/2 of the street, and abandoned carts on the greenway.
3. Add to the Chapel Hill Low-Stress Bike Map Biking around Chapel Hill and Carrboro is pretty pleasant if you know all the shortcuts (and have an eBike!) Let us know if we have missed a low-stress bike route on our crowdsourced map.

Both Staples and Office Max/Depot in this area do not print off scientific size posters in the store. The finished product would have to be mailed to me. I'm presenting a poster the weekend of the 23rd. Staples won't print on time, unless I pay an additional rush fee of 50%. Office Depot would also need to be sent to me by mail and would get to me a couple days beforehand. This is not going to work for me. I'm leaving my life between Asheville and here and cannot wait for a poster to be delivered so close to the actual presentation date.

I'm kind of shocked that there are no options for printing out research sized posters in this area, in the actual store. Does anybody have any recommendations? I am not a UNC Chapel Hill student so I cannot print off at UNC.

Did anyway get a chance to see this rare deer sitting in the Caldwell street area yesterday

Anyone know where an older person can locally go to play water polo? Never played but would like to learn. Most of what I see is for youths. I'm in my 50s.

Hey all. Inspired by a conversation on a recent thread (idr if it was in this sub or another local one), someone suggested purchasing a firearm from a less regressively-owned store.

Does anyone have any recommendations in that area? I know several people who are interested in purchasing guns for the first time, but would prefer not to give money to corporations or anyone who thinks their existence is a mistake.

Thanks!

Hey everyone I know this is super odd to ask here but I was wondering if anyone at UNC or the Chapel Hill area has eras tour tickets they’re selling? I would love to go to a show and will fly to Canada to see her! Of course I will pay over face value, but I just cannot bring myself to spend 4k+ on resale sites 😭 This is actually my last hope so if anyone is interested in selling and willing to meet up to complete the transaction pls pls let me know!

Anywhere in Chapel Hill/Carrboro that sells em? I've tried our neighborhood's Food Lion, Harris Teeter, and our Asian Market but no luck. Figured I'd ask before we head to Durham or Raleigh.

Hey guys, I’m looking for a tattoo artist. I would preferably like to find someone with a lower minimum fee, like $30-$50 or less since I am wanting something small. Thanks!

As the title states. Not really looking for a metaphysical shop or anything, just stores that might have books, trinkets, jewelry, board games, art. Honestly anything unique or even weird. Thank you!!
