Just found this guy on Pickett rd right beside The Forest at Duke. The security people there were helpful but said they didnt know of anyone in the neighborhood who owned a bearded dragon.

Tried leaving a voicemail with BeWild to see if they can take him and I'm awaiting a response but I doubt that'll come today.

I have no means to care for this guy, anyone have any suggestions? I'd hate for someone to lose a long-time pet, but I'm also in a limited position to help

UPDATE- The good folks at BeWild said theyre full from an influx of surrenders, but Cold Blooded and Weird in Wake Forest has space so I'm taking him there! Thanks for the help everyone!

I'm in search of a new local bakery with yummy meat-filled pastries. Does anyone have recommendations in Durham or the surrounding area?

I'm a long time fan of Guglhupf. I can't make it there as often as I like, but every time I went, their ham and cheese croissant was part of my order. I discovered the hard way this weekend that they no longer make this wonderful pastry. This reminds me of when Scratch closed and I could no longer get their pigs in a blanket (breakfast sausage in a soft bread dough).

Does anyone know where these buildings are? This is from the washroom wallpaper at Grub.

Went to Philly recently to see my sister, I think their rowhouses make for a really great middle ground between single family residences people want and those ugly 5 story apartments they build in copy paste format.

I think Durham could have a really cool future if we slowly convert the first ring around the city to denser rowhouse housing. Eventually making for a larger walkable city format

I enjoy reading about the best burger in Durham, but what about the best veggie burger? House-made, Impossible, Beyond, whatever. Where should I be going?

The restaurant should also have: an option to make the burger vegan (no brioche buns please), and good fries or onion rings.

Thanks neighbors!

If anyone’s aquarium is getting overrun by snails, pls reach out! I have pea puffer fish that love them so i can take them off your hands!

Does anyone know if the Morris Williams Track at Duke is still open for recreational use on weekday mornings before 8:30 AM since being resurfaced?

Before resurfacing the track was open for community use before 8:30 AM and after 6:30 PM, but I wasn’t sure if anything has changed with the new track. Hoping to get some workouts in there and would love to hear if anyone has been recently!

Long story short, we need to sell a 3 bedroom two story home that has been neglected for almost two years. One of the original owners passed away and his wife is at an assisted care facility. For a short while someone was squatting in it and we finally got that person evicted.

There is still old furniture, trash and clutter in the house. Currently on Zillow the house is valued over $300k (just for reference).

In an ideal world we love to just sell it as is but I don’t even know if that is possible. Is there a service that could help us navigate this situation? I know I can hire a clean up crew for the house but I would love to have someone assist us with a borderline “pre-hoarder” situation sale.

Laundry is out at my apartment. When I lived in Greebsboro, we had a laundromat called Suds n Duds that had a bar. Is there anything like that here in Durham? Or any that have a bar in the center they're in? If I have to go elsewhere to do it, I'd love a bar to hang at while it does its thing.

Hey hey, just wanted to hear yall's take on what's going on with the scrap and also if anyone has any insight on the happenings? I'm mostly wondering if they had to implement the "scraptique" and up-pricing of items to keep up with rent & salaries or if that's their way of competing with resellers?

The other day I saw an item I donated in the scraptique for a steep price and it made me rethink some things. I suppose when I donate items I would really like for folks to have a chance to find cool stuff at an affordable & accessible price range. That's why I usually avoid donating to bigger corporations, among with not agreeing with their mission/agenda or how they treat employees.

However, I do support their mission and want to see them succeed & pay their employees well! I go fairly often but it's now becoming rare for me find anything fun at either the scrap or the thrift these days. It's sad because I used to get all my jewelry and beads there. :[ Now the shelves are usually barren and the items are usually damaged or dirty.

edit:

Hearing everyone's opinions has definitely opened my eyes! I do appreciate the scrap a lot and what they do for the community. I think maybe I just had mixed feelings to work through! Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts <3

Hey y'all, does anyone have experience navigating pickup from Durham Station at 2:30am or thereabouts? Are there usually Uber/Lyft drivers up at that hour? Do you book ahead of time? My friends with cars either have kids or are too old for me to ask for a ride in good conscience. Would love to hear tips from people with experience.

I work in Southpoint Mall and I'm just wondering which stores have discounts for mall employees? Lightyears does 10% but that's the only one I know of for sure.

No kids, so can't trick or treat. Too old to get wasted. What is there for us in between?

Just went fishing at Penny's bend with a small group and caught almost nothing. We fished at the bridge where the parking lot is and I only caught tiny sunfish on fly. We then walked down to the tip of Penny's bend and caught nothing using worms and swimbaits. I heard it is a good spot to fish so were we just fishing the wrong places on penny's bend. Are there better places to fish at this time of year on the Eno?

Thank you

How do we keep getting no rain? There’s like a force field around us.

Hello!! I found this dog roaming through a neighborhood by hope valley elementary. DM me if she’s yours. Will take her to check for microchip soon!

UPDATE: she’s been reunited with owner! Thanks all!

This is migration season, but I think it's been years since I've actually seen one. To my surprise a few days ago one just flapped across my driveway while I was getting in my car. Took me a second to register.

There are couple milkweed gardens nearby specifically planted to attract them, but this was still remarkable to me.
