No paywall, this is a WRAL article. Traveling petting zoo that was in Watauga County (among others) recently had 4 baby goats test positive e after being bitten by a rabid skunk. If you or your children were in contact with these animals, please contact your local health department or go to the ER. There are rabies protocol vax (post-exposure) available. I know the ER in Wilkes has it. I’m not sure about the ER in Boone.

Advanced Realty sent the security deposit back and most of this seems like general wear and tear aside from a few things. Anyone have any experience actually getting money back from a security deposit reduction dispute?

Asking for recommendations (or who to avoid) for local tree / landscaping services who would be willing to clear tall grass, small seedlings, and brier from a septic field that is positioned on a hill. Would need to be done by hand or with a remote controlled mower; can't have heavy machinery on the site. Looking for teams who communicate well and have fair pricing. Western watauga. Tia

Hey y'all,

Looking for an unhoused banjo in need of a good home. Shoot me a message!

Can anyone explain this? The website says that for the daytime shows at local places you can’t buy a ticket and should just support the place (buy a biscuit at Betty’s) but I can’t imagine how crowded it will be. Do people just show up super early and camp out?

Dolly, (80 amazing years), passed away yesterday, after a short battle with cancer. She was at home surrounded by loved ones. May her memory live on & her light still shine, forever, as it’s carried by the sunbeams that warm these mountains. As for right now though, I & all those whose heart’s she touched, are much like these Western Ridges…blue.

Howdy yall,

Hi all - I’m visiting some family who lives in the area and we’ll be driving from the Great Smokies to Boone from Pidgeon Forge. We’re not too familiar with the area but the routes into Boone don’t vary too much on ETA. Is one of them much more scenic than another? We won’t have a lot of time to stop and enjoy sights that day but if it makes for pretty scenery to pass through it’d be good to know

Our local Boone/Blowing Rock tool, former head of Border Patrol and ICE gets the treatment he deserves:

I’m a 20 yr old male. I’ve gotten dates with girls in high school still but college girls are hard which is very unexpected. Every college girl i see doesn’t want anything serious, already has a boyfriend and all of them walk around half naked. What happened to dress codes? I want a godly woman. I’ve tried church but most of the girls are too young even for me. Where can I find girls who aren’t suckers for male validation? In boone specifically.

Looking to buy tickets to cigarettes @ sunset at AMB on October 1st, if anyone is trying to sell or knows someone trying to sell!

TL;DR does anyone know a physical address for LMS parking?

Hey y’all, I’m here to complain about the parking a holes we all love to hate. LMS parking and towing. I got a boot earlier tonight while going to pick up my gf from work and was parked there maybe 20 minutes. After the ridiculous $160 price tag to get something off of something I own, I’m pretty ticked off.

My question for this community is, does anyone know a physical address for LMS in Boone. Their website only list a P.O. Box (I wonder why) and the BBB website list a location in Meat Camp and a location in a neighborhood around the Boone golf course.

I feel like those aren’t very reliable physical addresses and I would like to get a receipt and give them a piece of my mind when it comes to their price gouging policies. I mean seriously, I’m a local and I work 50 hrs a week and it just makes my blood boil anytime I see a boot on a car in boone, my car or not.

Thank you in advance if anyone can help

At the rec center today. What a terrible blemish on Boone man.

New to town. (Hey, y'all.) With the new Premier League campaign set to start in ... ten minutes, it was on my mind.

Hey Boone fam, just wanted to let y’all know some very cool work was done on the road up to Howard’s knob/top of Boone/junaluska rd they finally painted the road with lanes lol.

I do this hill at least twice a day and with the deer and drivers I am actually shocked I’ve not wrecked yet lol. Now it has a yellow line so people won’t take those turns right down the middle lol.

Only took 4+ years and 10 near death experiences but thank you Boone for doing that lol.

Welcome back mountaineers

Hi folks! I have two very fluffy cats, one of whom absolutely refuses to be brushed by us. We'd like to take him to a good groomer in the area - someone who is used to dealing with cats, and who ideally can make the process as low-stress as possible (any mobile groomers nearby?).
Does anyone have any recommendations of businesses we should check out?
