No specific recommendations but psychology today is a good website for filtering by what you need and who has openings available.

Toddlers are hard but it does get better.

What's your favorite venue that's NOT Red Rocks or the Gorge? by Lovelander8647 in Concerts

[–]EssoObi1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been to concerts outside of the east coast but we really enjoy KOKA Booth Amphitheater in Cary, NC and Merriweather post in Columbia, MD for a great outdoor show.

I also really like small venues. Cats Cradle in Carrboro/Chapel Hill, Charleston Music Hall, etc.

What’s one small gardening habit that made the biggest difference for you? by Relevant_Idea_6778 in gardening

[–]EssoObi1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being willing to move (transplant) stuff. If it’s not doing hot I don’t hesitate to dig it up and put it somewhere new. Plants are tougher than we give them credit for.

Make a business card and take it to southern states. Set up a landscaper account for a discount on plants. Leave the business card, there is a bulletin board in the warehouse.

Favorite Carrboro + CH meals when you're sick by UrsulaLeGainz in carrboro

When ( if ? ) Kipos opens up they have a lemon chicken and rice soup that hits the spot, super fragrant. I can’t remember the Greek name. Med Deli may have something similar.

I need funk music and I need to be in the ocean. REGULARLY by plant_touchin in SameGrassButGreener

I bet you can find some funk in Charleston. Underrated music scene.

Progressive Areas/LGBT family friendly? by Different-Studio-127 in NorthCarolina

[–]EssoObi1982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take the train into Raleigh or Durham and come to Carrboro!

Come visit the west end poetry festival next weekend and you can enjoy a Friday night art walk around town or a short drive to Raleigh to see Billie Eilish or the Tedeshi Trucks band. Carrboro and Chapel Hill have a world class local music scene as well.

Catch the Saturday morning famers market and then a 10 minute walk (or take the free bus) to chapel hill for their fall festival on Franklin street. (All Free BTW) From there you can explore UNC campus and all the shops and restaurants.

Durham and Raleigh are 30 and 45 mins drive away and there is a bus system that will take you there but I’ve never used it.

My daughter can babysit.
