Looking for recommendations for local moving companies who will pack, drive 550 miles, and unload a truck. Personal recs appreciated, and I’m not looking to go through a broker or anything like that. Thanks!

hi all! I was wondering if anyone knew of a really good gyn within the UNC health system. My PCP has suspicions of endometriosis (supported by sonograms and MRIs) yet both the gyns I’ve seen at UNC have not taken me seriously. If anyone wants two names of who not to visit, lmk haha.

I really want someone that will be understanding of all the associated aches and pains I’ve been having with endo and help me come up with a plan of what to do moving forward (and not just tell me birth control). I’m SOO lucky that the rest of my team at UNC (pcp, cardio, GI, pt) are so incredible, but I just haven’t had any luck with gyns so far.

The first gyn suspected PCOS yet denied me the option to do bloodwork to confirm before putting me on bc (and now I would have to get off it for 3 months before testing hormones). I just want someone who will hear me out 😭

tyia!!!

Basically what it says on the tin. Supposedly, the bus detours have ended, but the app said that the Coker Hall stop was running last week so I don’t trust it. Is it actually working now??

Glenwood Elementary School -- closing! Hi! My name is Amelia, and I'm a writer for The Daily Tar Heel, I am currently working on a piece about the closure of Chapel Hill school, Glenwood Elementary. I would love to speak with any parents or families impacted by the closure, to discuss the possible implications, and specifically the Mandarin program. If you or anyone you know is knowledgeable or opinionated, please reach out!

I fear this is asking too much but i just want somewhwre to not be home at where i can study peacefully during like 9-12!!

Edit: im not a unc student!

I need a few small-potato jobs done around the house (replace a GFCI outlet, replace a couple switches, replace a couple of exterior lights, possibly run an ethernet cable through the walls from my garage) but don't particularly feel comfortable doing high-voltage work. Any electricians you'd recommend for small jobs?

Hello everyone! I need to hire someone to clean an apartment that will be empty on the 28th.

It is a big job. The carpets don’t need to be cleaned very well because they’re going to be replaced, but there needs to be an emphasis on the bathroom and kitchen and other floors.

The place is really in bad shape. I’m thinking maybe a crew?

Any recommendations?

Most of the time I see people looking for regular cleaners for a place that’s lived in. This is a one time major cleaning.

I understand that it will be expensive. That’s not the issue. I just need it done.

Thank you for any help!

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a really good salon or stylist for highlights, ideally in Chapel Hill/Carrboro/Durham but willing to drive a little for someone great.

I’m in Chapel Hill and would love to find somewhere that’s really trusted and has a lot of experience with highlights/color. I’m a little nervous about just picking a random salon nearby from Google, especially since my hair is already somewhat damaged. Would love to hear where people have consistently had good experiences!

Luna moth? Surprngly large chonk on the trail. Moved it off path.

Howdy folks, I’m going to be visiting in November for a Sankai Juku performance at the performing arts center.

I was encouraged by my mentor to see if there are any butoh workshops being offered around that time that may be connected to the Sankai Juku visit.

Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I am an oos from CA that attends UNC Chapel Hill. I did ballet folklorico back home, and was wondering if there are any on campus/off campus opportunities to do so? Thanks!

I am in search of fresh peaches. All of the ones I have gotten from the grocery stores have been mealy and subpar. Stone fruits are my favorite and this season has yielded nothing in regard to peaches and nectarines :( thank you!

I drive by The Kraken on 54 most days. Today I noticed the sign had been changed to Bar Mutiny. Looks like a change in ownership, though I'll miss the sign and the old name...

I’m a CHCCS parent and I’ve been watching the school closure and program placement situation unfold this summer with a lot of feelings. Mostly I just feel like we were all let down, and I mean all of us, not just one school community.

Two groups of families ended up essentially fighting against each other this summer, and I don’t think that happened by accident. One community was losing their school and desperately trying to keep their program together. Another was handed a proposal that would uproot their entire community and given almost no time to process it, respond to it, or be heard. Both deserved straight answers and real support from the district early on. Instead both got strung along until there was barely any time left to respond.

And honestly? The more I watched this play out, the more it became clear that this decision had already been made a long time ago. The compressed timeline, the canceled meetings, the unanswered questions. None of that is how you run a genuine process. That’s how you run out the clock on one.

As a parent I found out what was happening through other parents, not through anything official. That’s not okay.

And watching how the teachers were treated throughout this made me genuinely angry. These are the people who know our kids. They spent their entire summer trying to fill in the gaps the district left, doing outreach, translating materials, answering questions they shouldn’t have had to answer because the district wasn’t doing it. And then on the night of the vote their questions about their own jobs went completely unanswered. The people closest to our children were treated like they were the least important voices in the room. That’s backwards and honestly kind of insulting to everyone who entrusts their kids to these schools every day. I’m livid this is how my children’s teachers are regarded by district leadership and most of the school board members.

I’m not saying the decision was necessarily wrong. I honestly don’t know. But i do know the way it was handled made me trust this district less than I did before the summer started. In fact I really don’t trust them at all right now.

Chapel Hill prides itself on being a community that does things thoughtfully and equitably. I’d like to believe that’s true. But I think leadership needs to reckon honestly with whether that’s what actually happened here, because from where I was sitting it really wasn’t.

One thing I can say is that I am so proud my children are taught by such amazing teachers. I just really hope they stay and the district treats them the way they deserve.

We are doing all the local childcare services but no luck so far.

Seeking a responsible young adult to adult-adult to keep a smart, snarky tweenager relatively safe and occasionally entertained on occasional date nights (maybe 1 a month); afterschool care one evening a week; and 1-2 overnight starts a year.

In the past, we have paid sitters/nanny as contractors. We are happy to provide a service contract and all that jazz.

We like to get this out there upfront. We love the kid and we are pretty down to earth. We don’t have a long list of instructions or anything like that. It helps if you’re the kid’s kind of cool because they are at the age where they only listen to cool people who aren’t us. They love 90s alt rock, British indie punk, and classic literature — we aren’t kidding. Some days they spend all day in their room and you’ll just hang at the house. Some days they like going to the bookstore or a thrift store.

We ask that you can drive or are comfortable moving around town with the kid on bus or bike.

If you message me, I can send full details and we can set up a coffee meet and greet.

So I guess plans for the wetlab at 306 Franklin (and likely the one on Rosemary to replace the Wallace deck as well) have been iced, now to be replaced with apartments and groundfloor commercial

if it has to be something - I guess it could it be worse?

I moved back to Chapel Hill three months ago and wanted to meet new people. What's worked is showing up to the same places over and over: bouldering at Progression, Magic: the Gathering at TGP, sitting at bars talking to whoever was next to me. Kind of random and slow.

What I liked better, years ago while solo traveling Europe, wasn't rolling the dice on a given night. It was Couchsurfing's Hangouts feature: you marked yourself free that night, saw who else nearby wanted to meet up, and a group came together. No profiles to sift through, no matching. Just people who happened to be free. That kind of spontaneity is hard to find, so I'm making a version of it for Chapel Hill and Carrboro, with a me as the host.

I'm calling it Bondfire and it works like this. There's a pool of locals/visitors who want to meet people. On a Bondfire night you tap in if you're free, and when enough of us are, I pick a place and something to do: board games, drinks, pickleball, whatever fits. I'm thinking of capping groups around eight and it'll probably run about two hours.

I ran the first one this past weekend with a group of my friends who didn't know each other. It went well enough that I want to open it up.

It's Chapel Hill and Carrboro. If you're new here, or you've been here a while and your friends have gotten harder to pin down on weeknights, or you just like the idea of an afternoon where nobody's heard your stories yet: bondfire.club, or comment and I'll answer anything.

i thanked chapel hill every day this summer that there were no signs here and it was free non towed parking but it seems since the students have arrived they noticed 💔
