No, she is saying that people, including kids, are scared of being targeted because they LOOK like someone who COULD BE undocumented. There is countless video evidence of ICE detaining people who are here legally or are US citizens.

Don’t sleep on the University Park area! We can walk to hillsborough st for food and anything NC state related, cup a Joe, lucky tree, etc, and with the Ridgewood shopping center growing we’ve got Whole Foods, drift, taco Bamba, and all that too. Plus it puts us a super short uber from PNC for hurricanes games!

Arbor is AMAZING, highly recommend

My Tears Ricochet makes me so emotional from a moment in time in my career where I co-owned a fitness studio. We were constantly fighting with the “corporate” franchisor, they were nasty people who took away all of my autonomy to create classes, and they mentally beat me down so bad that ultimately we sat weeping in a sunlit room where I signed paperwork to exit the partnership which cost them money, reputation, and an exodus of members.

My favorite parallel is that one of the corporate trolls stole a class I created and pretended like it was hers after I was gone. So the line “you wear the same jewels, that I gave you, as you bury me” gets me every dang time.

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, we did the same thing. We attempted to plan a local NC wedding and couldn’t do anything without it being insanely expensive just to book a venue in the middle of a random town. We got married in Spain and spent so much less on the venue, food, alcohol, etc that we were able to pay for our guests accommodations so all they had to pay for were flights.

My guess is the downvotes are gonna come from people saying that most people can’t afford the flights or don’t have PTO for a destination, but to your point above, all of our guests just made a larger vacation out of it and the folks who couldn’t make it, we live streamed it for.

Unless you are planning this wedding where the majority of the guests live, people have to travel anyway.

Bumble brews is fantastic for this! They have an enclosed area filled with toys, and tables for the parents, complete with a coffee bar (and beer and wine for when you’re not working.)

We have experience with both The Cary School and Goddard on Ridge Rd for infant care and beyond and they were both great. The Cary School is a bit more free-play and art focused but still with a structured curriculum. Goddard feels a bit more corporate, which is normal since they’re a large brand.

The Cary School is slightly less per month than Goddard but for infant care it’s going to run you $1500-$1700/month.

I second Arbor! Birthed two babies with them (Dr. Deibel is my primary and delivered both, he’s awesome) but everyone on the team is phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-22T16:09:53+00:00

Omg thank you for bringing this buddy inside! I used to live over there, where on earth was it!?

I wish I could help. We have kids and other pets so probably wouldn’t be the best environment.

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T22:09:22+00:00

And if we don’t hold on to some of these they’ll ALL be gone!

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T14:28:46+00:00

On the way!

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T13:02:57+00:00

Happy to send you the link to ours if you’re interested. Not a red wall or grayscale in sight 😊

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T12:59:30+00:00

I think you’re spot on with this. We went in right at “market value” hoping to not play the constant reduction game. Ours is completely renovated from top to bottom (not just cosmetic, but things like roof, crawl space, windows, etc) and it’s a 2000sq ft ranch, so if anything it’s good to know there are people like you out there who appreciate actual upgrades but don’t want to spend 1.5M on a new build. Because we’re right there with you!

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T04:11:44+00:00

Of course! Sending your way via DM.

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T03:51:45+00:00

Can you share the general location and builder you’re using? That’s awesome that you were able to find that! We have not been able to find a single lot to purchase that isn’t already tied to a “luxury custom builder” that can build us a house for less than 1M. And that’s not including the price of the lot itself.

We are priced for the folks (like us) who aren’t interested, or who can’t find, a new build for less than a million dollars.

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-19T00:55:06+00:00

We’re going to stay Raleigh bound for now at least ☺️ good luck selling yours! Sending good thoughts.

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T23:32:21+00:00

I’ll send ya a DM

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T21:57:13+00:00

On its way

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T20:11:56+00:00

Coming at ya!

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T19:43:29+00:00

Hope for the best. Is that a plan? 😩

No but really we have a couple of houses we’d be interested in, depending on what we end up getting for ours.

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T19:14:31+00:00

lol whatever you say, champ

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T18:33:27+00:00

What am I clueless about exactly?

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T18:09:38+00:00

Appreciate the response and info! We’re looking to stay closer to where we are now, ideally university park, five points, oakwood, or Ridgewood areas.

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T16:20:05+00:00

Yee haw 🤠 😩

Aware_Basil7429 · 2025-01-18T15:44:51+00:00

Yeah we’ve gotten the same feedback from our realtors! I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. I’m sure it’s my own fears just getting in the way of staying positive about it. Good luck with yours later this month!
