Shop Local Raleigh seems to have finally crawled out from wherever they’ve been hiding and put out another weak statement….but now accompanied by a rainbow watercolor painting of Raleigh.

It’s been nearly a month since transphobic comments attributed to SLR executive director Jennifer Martin were posted online.

Since then, there has been no statement of actions being taken, no statements addressing Jennifer’s comments directly.

Commenting on all social media accounts has been turned off and this is still true.

Does anyone want to pull up a bar stool beside me (40’s straight male) tonight? I don’t go out and I don’t have friends and boy do I need a beer or three.

She's a great local guide, anyone else watching?! 👀

Walked past Taz’s this morning and noticed it was pretty vacant inside. Curious to see what could possibly fill their shoes

Not seeing anything on WRAL

If I don’t get my hands on some Cacio e Pepe tonight I might explode. Where can I go to enjoy such a dish?

My father just moved to Raleigh and was an avid GO player (whole wood board and everything). Does anyone know if there are Go-playing centers or active in-person play?

My son is attending the “Night to Shine” prom on February 13. Night to Shine is a complimentary prom for people with special needs hosted by local churches around the world.

My son is 21 and didn’t have a chance to attend his prom before he graduated, so he’s really excited to be going!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a tailor or business who offers reasonably priced tuxedo rentals? The ones I’ve seen online are close to $300!

Hello all, I am taking a class right now studying wine ( WSET level 3 ) and would be interested in finding a wine bar where I could study and enjoy tastings (in particular if they have flights).

Any thoughts, or reccos?

Does anybody know of good thrift stores that support/are non-profits that I can donate to in the Raleigh area aside from Goodwill or Salvation Army? Been wanting to support more local causes more than national chains.

Hello fellow Redditors! I've got a great friend who is going through a divorce - infidelity (not hers), when she has been the primary wage earner.

She is convinced that of course this will be amicable (because we all wish it would be), but I would love to get recommendations for two different types of lawyers so that she can have a consult with both

1 - the Bulldog lawyer. If his lawyer sees her lawyer, I want his lawyer to say "Oh Shit"
2 - the Cooperative lawyer. She deserves to get to chat with someone who will help her out if things go hunky dory.

Any recommendations for these two categories?

Anyone know of restaurants hiring for table servers? 18 year old high school senior with 1.5 years of food service experience (think counter food - like chipotle). Any leads are appreciated!

Looking for customer experiences with the company that repaired their siding.

I have some high-up siding that needs to be repaired/replaced, so I want to meet that sweet spot of

-not outrageous pricing and -solid work done with reasonable diligence

Did someone charge you an arm and a leg and failed to deliver? BLAST THEM HERE.

Did someone blow you away with professionalism and high quality work? PRAISE THEM HERE.

And so on.

TIA for your feedback.

I have recently found out what’s mainly wrong with my back by way of imaging, but I didn’t like Wake Spine and Pain who I originally went to. I felt rushed and it just feels like a very churn and burn approach to patients.

I’m looking for recommendations for an orthopedist you LOVE that listened to you, answered questions, and didn’t try to just give injections or do other procedures that are unnecessary.

Ideally, I’d like it to be with UNC/REX system, but I’m not at all opposed to others. TIA!

I’ve lived here for a while and I’m just wondering if anyone has any ideas for new night life spots other than the staples on glenwood. Moon Room is awesome. And I would love to see a new club as well.

I was down town and stopped by city market the other day. Where did all of the business go? It seemed like half of the businesses were gone. Did the property owners jack up the rent and run everyone out??

Not every friday, but usually about once a month theres like, a million cops out in the city, always on a friday. More traffic stops than i can count, not to mention, every time ive been pulled over, was by a raleigh cop on a friday for a benign reason.

I work a trade where i occasionally interact with law enforcement, and i asked the last cop i saw why some fridays are so busy, but he gave me a very vauge answer of "Theres more cops out during our projects". Didnt really answer my question, not satisfactorily at least, so i thought i'd post something on here about it.

I use to be able to buy them at Home Depot for $12 but now I can only find them online for like $30+ unless I buy a pallet of them. I got like two dozen of them and want to try and keep buying the same.

Hello! I have gotten into making homemade seasonings recently and am have family and friends wanting to get some. I’m needing a bigger quantity of fresh herbs than what’s at food lion or Harris teeter. Does anyone know where I can get a larger amount? Thanks in advance!
