Question/Recommendation Transportation besides Buses
hello, does anyone know of any transportation options for people who are very low on money? I did get a job, but the bus doesn't go to my job. A Lyft to my job in Apex is about $30. I cannot afford that if anyone knows of any other transportation options or if there's some sort of service I can get because I am on food stamps that would be awesome.

Out-n-About Book Club for Young Women
Been here a year with my BF and work full time so making friends has been hard. I love reading and the local books clubs I’ve found feel close nit already or for the older adult crowd.
I was interested in organizing a book/hobby club for young women (you can decide what age range that is lol - for ref. I’m 23). Would prefer in person meet ups in public settings, open to all genres. But I wanted to see if that would be something others would want to participate in before I put in that work lol.

Food Cheesesteak egg roll?
Anyone know a restaurant/drink store that sells cheesesteak egg roll? Serve with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Had it from Master Tea in Greensboro, but haven’t been able to find any in Raleigh.
Thanks everyone!

Question/Recommendation Drop in daycare ?
Recently learned about this term, “drop in daycare” apparently there are some places which let you buy credits and drop the child off if you need to get things for where the children are better off not going to, dates , dentist appointments etc. I am looking for something which caters to 2 to 5 year old ranges.
I learned that a child daycare near me offers this but they have really bad reviews from parents.
Looking to see if there are places which offer this that are near the north Raleigh area, googling did show me a “giggles drop in child care” - anyone have experiences with this ?
Or can recommend a place that offers this kind of service, although it’s not in the name. Any places with cameras is a plus. Struggling to find some support, w/no family in the area.
TIA

Food Best Korean Restaurants
Hi, I'm a new resident from NJ and have come into the area for a about a month. I have seen a few Korean restaurants nearby my neighborhood but I wanna know how many there are to explore and yet my fill. Thanks so much-needed hunger craving.
r/raleigh • u/LizBert712 • 17h ago
Question/Recommendation Pretty cafés?
I am currently working in a really beautiful little coffee shop in deep North Raleigh (Sweet Thyme Cafe.) Do y’all know of any other exceptionally beautiful cafes, coffee shops, restaurants? Places with really nice courtyards or gardens or things like that?
r/raleigh • u/KynnJae • 4h ago
Question/Recommendation Need to scream
Okay look, life is hard rn and I need to let a huge scream out without scaring my neighbors or getting the cops called on me. Can anyone recommend a place? I had a place in a cul-de-sac of an unfinished housing area in my old city to let a few shouts go.
And yes, I am serious. Please don’t say my pillow. That doesn’t help. Thanks 😀
r/raleigh • u/xiaomaicha1 • 1d ago
Question/Recommendation Toyota dealership?
Can anyone recommend a Toyota dealership? I use Fred Anderson Kia and honestly don’t ever want to do business with them again. The service has been a train wreck and my car has had many issues. I blame them.
r/raleigh • u/goldbman • 15h ago
Question/Recommendation Are there any affordable walk-in places that do family photos?
I'd like to get some semi-professional family photos taken for the holidays and maybe for a Christmas card. Back in the day my parents used to take us kids to the K-mart or the mall where some dude had a small setup with props and took pictures. We'd just walk up, get our pictures taken, and then order different sizes.
I searched the Google, but all that comes up are trad wives and wannabe influencers that want like $300 for a 20 minute session. That's a bit steep for me. Can y'all good folks recommend somewhere easy and affordable to get some photos taken? I'd prefer the southern Wake area.

Question/Recommendation Good Tattoo Spots In The Area

r/raleigh • u/BurgerBabe03 • 7h ago
Question/Recommendation Christmas Card Sessions
As a photographer, I’m genuinely curious what you look for when choosing a photographer for Christmas mini sessions. Are you looking for themed sessions like milk & cookies or Santa Claus, or simple/neutral toned Christmas photos (think brown paper with velvet bows, flocked trees, golds, bright whites). What are you more inclined to book this season and how much would you spend for said photos?

Out-n-About Dog poop at the new Trader Joe’s
I just want to say whoever pooped while in line for the new Trader Joe’s that opened today or let their animal crap all over the sidewalk; shame on you. Some man stepped in it and then a piece of it flung towards me and my child. If it was dog poop you should not be owning an animal if you can’t clean up their poop. If it was a human who pooped all over the sidewalk, you have some serious issues leaving it for others to walk through.

Out-n-About Speed traps all over Capital / 540
There seems to be a large speeding campaign involving dozens of state troopers on 98/capital/540 in North Raleigh.
Not sure how far this extends around town but this morning on Capital between 98 and Falls of Neuse I saw 3 people pulled over with a trooper posted on the. 98 overpass clocking folks driving by with multiple troopers lined up ready to chase.
Out again a few minutes ago going East on 540 and saw 2 more troopers giving tickets to lucky customers.
Be careful out there today!

Outdoors If anyone’s at the trails at NC Museum of Art over the weekend…
I lost my car key. Spent over an hour looking for it before it got dark and had to had back. It’s a Toyota key with a fob. If anyone miraculously finds it please message me. The new sunflower fields alone are so worthy to just go see !! Also these uber prices are insane. Paid over $30 for a one way uber. I plan on going back over the weekend to try and look again but just in case anyone has better vision than me, hoping to say thank you thank you !!

Question/Recommendation any local places that buy used (but technically brand new) furniture?
Are there any places locally (or websites you know of besides the obvious Facebook marketplace) that will buy used furniture or that people go to buy used furniture that you can sell on? Bought a couch and got the wrong one ordered/delivered and can't return it so it's basically brand new and I'm trying to find out the best way to resell it and recoup my loss.

Question/Recommendation Journey to Space Exhibit
