Not posting pics in-till it is carried out for safety but at least 15-30 armed officers in the woods beside Whole foods. Drone in the air as well.

Update: they have him.

Update 2: There is still a chopper circling and i did not clearly see anyone in cuffs but the entire force left and weren’t in a hurry. Also what heard like yelling to “stand down and stay where you are” right before this which made assume he was apprehended.

Midterms are hard

Republicans are getting their asses handed to them in early polling (downvote, call me a liar, I don't give a shit) data and so gerrymandering efforts/bs are in full swing. They're trying to reject mail in ballots in pretty much every way they can. Go vote in person if you can

I don’t understand why marijuana isn’t legal in North Carolina already ? This is so frustrating 😓

WTAF was that?????

Alright.. who’s making all that noise with the fireworks in downtown Raleigh?!

The fair is over, isn’t it? 😂

Each voting site in Wake Forest, Cary, and Apex along with the Abbotts Creek Community Center in Raleigh remain the sites with the longest waits, especially in the afternoon.

More details are available here.

Is anyone else hearing or seeing fireworks right now in downtown Raleigh? I’m on person street and has been going for 2 -3 minutes but I don’t see anything. Also not sure of a holiday or reason…?

I know the fair JUST ended and I ended up going twice but after trying so many new foods this year, I didn’t get my classic order of deep fried Oreos and I’m kinda bummed out. Are there any places near Raleigh that serve them or is my best bet to simply make them at home?

Hi all, I’m seeking a good, honest plumber for an inspection and work. I’ve a good neighbor who’s helped me in the past, but I get the feeling they’re not interested in large or difficult projects.

I know there’s a few things we need fixed, but I’d like someone who can do a thorough inspection and quote me on a larger scope of work if it’s necessary.

That said, I’ve seen some horror stories on Reddit about bigger companies that both aggressively upsell and have less experienced staff.

Is there someone you know or have used that you’d trust to give you honest advice, does quality work, and doesn’t shy away from difficult projects?

Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone.

Yesterday my dog was attacked at the Carolina Pines dog park. I was there by myself for the longest time until a lady came walking in with two dogs. I asked her before she entered if her dogs were friendly and she claimed they were "friendly but full of energy"

Once the dogs entered they immediately starting chasing my dog and trying to corner her. I noticed and started yelling at the owner the get her attention and ran over to the dogs. At this point the two dogs had my dog cornered and terrified. Thats when I saw them bite my dog. I was screaming and crying hysterically and the owner of the other dogs was still trying to make her way over to the scene. I tried grabbing my dog to save her and ended up getting bit as well by one of her dogs.

I kept screaming and crying over and over yelling for help and to get her to get her dogs to let go and stop and at this point she was trying to get her dogs off my dog but the dogs had latched on and were not letting go. Luckily the dog let go finally and I picked up my dog and ran to the entrance gate to safety. A man tried to come into the park and I was screaming at him to go away and not come in there and just kept saying "go away, please, go away". He eventually did turn around and leave.

I rushed my dog to the emergency vet where they found she had a puncture wound in her back leg. I had a puncture wound on my wrist from the attack as well that was swelling. Thankfully the amazing people at the vet helped flush the wound and made sure my dog was all ok. For anyone wondering, it was the petfolk in North Hills that we went to. They deserve the highest praise.

After driving back home to my apartment, I then had to be sent to the ER for my bite wound and proceeded to have to get 4 shots and an antibiotic due to the unknown nature of the dogs vaccination status. After speaking with animal control they confirmed the other owner had not reported anything to the proper channels yet which is irresponsible and wrong.

Needless to say the entire experience was incredibly traumatic for me and my dog. I wanted to post this for two reasons:

1. On the long shot chance the lady who brought her dogs in sees this and wants to make things right by reaching out to me. (I already filed a report through animal control about the entire situation). Or if the man who was trying to come in who I yelled at to go away sees this and can help me give more identifying information about the woman and her dogs to the authorities, or if someone in the neighborhood has any information about what happened that they could help me with reporting.

2. As a PSA for everyone. PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR DOGS TO THE DOG PARK IF THEY ARE AGRESSIVE IN ANY WAY!!!!!! This whole situation could've been avoided easily. Also please don't bring dogs that you can't control to a dog park. That is a huge danger to everyone there. Finally, to just stay clear of this dog park. It's secluded and quiet, sure, but there are no cameras, entrance waivers, registrations needed, nothing. And looking back on this sub, I'm not the only person whose had this happen there. This place is bad news.

Hello friends.
I’m from Charleston and it’ll be my first time in Raleigh next June to see Metallica!
My dad is in his 70s and has vertigo but Metallica is his favorite band and if he’s feeling up to it I’d love to bring him.
That being said, I bought tickets on the ground. Like, first row, seated, but as low as it gets so as not to irritate his vertigo.
The stage will be lifted and have a snake pit. I am currently mortified that somehow we won’t be able to see everything from the seats. I paid pretty good money to have an amazing memory with my dad and I’m just wondering if I should switch up while I still can.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of scenario? The seats are section 7, so looks like I don’t have to worry about the big fixtures blocking the stage.
Thank you so much for any advice going forward!

hi All, first time parent here, moved here recently as well. Trying to enroll my child for kindergarten next year via https://www.wcpss.net/enroll but when I select the pre-enroll for the 2027-2028 school year, I am met with a bright green background with text "An Unknown Error Has Occurred" .

Some of the stuff on there, if you click around long enough looks to be outdated...

Am I missing something here?

I've seen multiple posts here recently about people who are lonely seeking companionship. We have a loneliness epidemic in this country, and it isn't discussed enough. There are reasons for this that I won't get into right now, but I wanted to provide some resources for those who are lonely or just looking for things to do in our area.

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a regular group to play badminton with at Triangle Badminton Club in Morrisville. I used to play a few years ago and I'm getting back into it. I'm somewhere in the middle, definitely not a pro but not a beginner either.

Since I'm coming solo, I haven't felt comfortable just walking in and asking strangers if I can join. So I figured I'd ask here: does anyone have a regular group or weekly session that's open to one more intermediate player? I work during the day, so evenings or weekends work best for me. Singles or doubles, I'm happy either way.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks!

Hi,

While I was early voting yesterday around 4pm, I had a brain fart and left my child’s stroller in the parking lot after I buckled them up. This was at the Laurel Hills Community Center right by the Sassafras playground.

This is a long shot, but please DM me if you know the whereabouts of a navy blue Joolz Aer2 stroller. I went back both an hour later and this morning with no sign of it. Alternatively, I’d by happy to know of any lost & found groups for that area - I don’t Facebook/social media much.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of a provider in the area who does adult autism assessments, bills insurance, and doesn't have a waitlist into next year? I've hit my out of pocket max and would love to get this done before that resets.

I know this is likely a huge stretch but am curious if there happened to be anyone around this intersection at the time of accident approx 6:50a or so. Looking for help to identify or deny the existence of a hit and run vehicle at the end of a 5 car chain pile up. The accident was on the north bound lanes on 401 just as you would go through the light at the intersection.

If there's anything, that would be amazing as we are definitely reaching here but reddit has surprised me before.

Hey ya’ll! I’m looking for an extra ticket to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Rialto for this Friday 10/30. I’m going with a group of friends and was going to be third wheeling super hard but I met a girl at the grocery store today who wants to hang out that night and I’d love to be able to bring her with!

Hit me up if you can help!

Recently learned about Plum Raleigh and they’re doing a lot of cool craft nights, art shows, and other creative hangs. Check them out!!
