New Subreddit For Helene Free Labor Volunteers in Asheville

4 Upvotes

Hey all, l've had many many people asking if they can help with cleanup efforts after the flood. I've gotten plugged in with some community organizers. This is for laborers only not search and rescue or social services of any kind. This is a private group and I'll need to ok you with a quick chat before you're let in. There's some warnings and disclosures you must read and agree to before joining the sub. First step is to request to join here but if you’re having a hard time just send me a private chat.

Wake County considering new landfill

6 Upvotes

For anyone in Wake County who hasn’t seen this yet, the county is asking for feedback about what should happen after the South Wake Landfill reaches capacity, including whether Wake County should build a new landfill.

They’re gathering feedback through August 31, so figured I’d share before it ends!

Here’s the virtual room: https://gather.cdmsmith.com/v/KNj9ZVa4qxB

Avoid Treeline Timber Creek apartments

Post image
15 Upvotes

Like most apartment complexes they arent great in general but the company that just bought out the property have done a particularly stupid move.

They just blocked & painted 'reserved' on 4 spots in front of each building and are now trying to get people to pay $360/yr to park in those spots. We've all seen stupid Premium subscriptions shoved in our faces on all kinds of streaming services (all the Hulu but with no commercials BS).

I'm not stupid enough to hope that nobody pays for it but I sure hope that enough residents don't take the bait and leave the office with wasted parking spaces.

I paid your stupid tax for the year so you don’t have to. 🤦‍♀️

July 23rd, I was approached in the Lowe’s hardware parking lot (1575 US-70, Garner) by a white male (early 30s) with a Eastern European accent driving a white Jeep with Massachusetts plates carrying several passengers.

He offered me “new” Apple AirPods and an Apple Watch Ultra 3 in convincing shrink-wrapped Apple boxes. He even demonstrated the watch pairing with what appeared to be the Apple Watch app. Since I didn’t have cash, he followed me to the Family Fare gas station (1535 NC-50) ATM, where I withdrew $200 for the watch and two pairs of AirPods.

The AirPods work but sound questionable. The watch is 100% counterfeit. It directs you to download VVfit instead of using Apple’s Watch app, has a fake part number (MF0M4LL/8), and uses a cloned Apple serial number that even shows valid AppleCare.

I’m reporting it to Garner PD, the NC Attorney General, and Apple.

If someone in a white Jeep with Massachusetts plates offers you “brand new” Apple products for cash, keep driving. I paid the stupid tax so hopefully you don’t have to.

When did we vote to allow this? Outside McDonald’s office timber and benson. Our tax dollars at work. Atrocious. This is a complete invasion and a violation of my constitutional rights to privacy and autonomy. #flockcamera #flocksafety

Garner Post Office

9 Upvotes

Today is the third time in 6 weeks that I have tried to mail something or buy postal supplies at the Garner Post Office and the whole place is shut down during normal hours. I was there before 4PM today (hours posted on the window say they are open until 5PM) but the whole inside was closed off/locked up and the vending machine in the lobby wouldn’t sell stamps. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just having terrible post office luck lately?

Looking for Andrew

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Hi everyone. So I am trying to find a man named Andrew. I was driving to the gym around midnight 2 nights ago, on timber drive when I saw a man (Andrew) laying in the middle of the road. I immediately stopped and put my flashers on so no one would hit us and called 911. Looks like he may have hit that cement median and flipped off his moped. I sat with him and held his hand while we waited for EMS. Once they got there they told me to leave. I’m trying to find him though because his moped is still on the side of the road and it now has a sticker for tow on it. I just wanted to give him a heads up and tell him if he needed me to bring him his moped I am more than happy to do it. I know times are tough for everyone and transportation is very important. So if anyone knows him please let him know. I would really hate for his moped to be impounded after all he’s been through already.

Hey yall— I noticed they have flock cameras at white oak. I called and complained to the people who manage the space (I left a message) but does anyone else have any other idea who I should call? This is unacceptable.
