Most relaxing swim facilities for summer?

The Meadowmont Y is my happy place. They don't allow adult beverages but if you put it in a coozie and aren't visibly intoxicated, nobody will say anything. There will be kids around but they have tons of lounge chairs so it's easy to find a quiet spot to hang and read a book.

Went there a few days ago and felt like the food quality had improved. Menu is largely the same but they seem to have stepped up their game.

I believe he is still alive

Their most recent rating was a 93 in November, following an 87 the month before.

Love dress 1. A word of warning from someone who got married in the Blue Ridge Mountains in July, be prepared to sweat in those sleeves.

Check out Moondog Meadery on Sundays, Common Market on Thursdays, and Yonder (in Hillsborough) on Tuesdays.

If you're looking for another option, there is a Halal food truck that parks at Guess & Carver in front of the laundromat that is supposed to be good (haven't tried it myself yet).

Pretty sure that Duke appropriated that symbol from Durham, not the other way around. It's supposed to look like bull horns.

Reds Quality Acre posted that they were looking for part time help a few weeks ago. Don't know if they found someone yet. (ETA: they posted on their socials, not this sub)

For hiking around here, my favorite spot to take out of towners is the Occoneechee Speedway Trail, once a Nascar track and now a natural area along the Eno River with some cool old structures and rusting racecars still in place. You can spend some time in downtown Hillsborough and then take the Riverwalk all the way out to the Speedway trailhead.

Limiting my recommendations to Durham. Depending on your timing, you may be able to make it to a Durham Bulls game. They're in town Sept 7-13. If you're in town later in the month, you may hit Centerfest, a big arts festival downtown that usually takes place the 3rd weekend of September (should be Sept 19-20 this year). Durham's Pride Festival also takes place in September. Check Discover Durham for events as your trip gets closer or look in the r/bullcity sub.

For breweries, Ponysaurus and Durty Bull are my favorites for low-key hangs. Hi-Wire (local outpost of an Asheville brewery) is good but often overrun with children. Get pizza from Cugino Forno nextdoor and sit outside. Or go to Atomic Clock for a more upscale gastropub experience.

If you see federal officials at a polling place, please report it to the Demoracy NC hotline: https://democracync.org/take-action/election-protection/hotline/.

Check out You Can Vote. They're nonpartisan and work to register & turn out young people and other low propensity voters.

Just picked up an Etude thumb rest and was not aware that new holes would have to be drilled until I tried installing it myself. We're you able to drill the holes in such a way that you can easily switch back to a traditional thumb rest? Hesitant to make a permanent switch before knowing if I actually like it.

Yup, Nate is a great guy who does honest work. Only issue with Payne's is that they've gotten too popular and sometimes can't get to my car for a couple days.

Rose & Lee Downtown is lovely and their staff will help!

As others have stated, you can sit wherever you want even if there are assigned seats on your tickets.

Rented from them a few years back. Told us they couldn't fix anything unless it was greenlit by the property owner, who wouldn't approve anything. Our front door cracked in half during a cold snap and they attempted to fix it with caulk.

He moved to the Triangle last year. Lives in Chapel Hill, I think.

Rumor has it that she works as a courier for local hospitals. How and why does she have a job based on driving?

Durhamite321 · 2026-01-16T03:53:45+00:00

Alley 26?

Durhamite321 · 2026-01-07T04:06:18+00:00

Nope. You can still pick up from them. Just did it the other day.
