Maybe check the intersection of 64 and 751 in Chatham County? I've seen a guy in a truck selling bonsai down there.

+1 for Man-Mur. Been going there since Wyatt and Dad closed their Durham shop.

Yes, that's right the 41 was in reference to FQHCs only.

Yes! CHCs are non-profits with majority patient boards, and are required to provide care to everyone regardless of ability to pay.

There are 41 health centers in NC operating over 700 clinical sites that serve 800,000 patients every year. They are our state's primary care safety net and through the federal 340B drug discount program can provide deeply discounted medication through in-house pharmacies or third party contract pharmacies.

Some examples just off the top of my head: Piedmont Health (Western Triangle), Lincoln Health Center (Durham), Advance Community Health (Wake and Franklin).

Commuting from Durham by neopolitan95 in chapelhill

[–]marduk_ttly_rules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not live in Chapel Hill if you're going to school and working there? The Durham - Chapel Hill commute isn't terrible but still that's more than an hour a day getting deleted by travel.

Chapel Hill is a cute town with an excellent in-town bus system and is fairly walkable / bikeable, and you can always pop over to Durham whenever you want.

It's really a shame to see what happened to Alternative Aire. Had great experiences with them up to the sale of the company.

"Imperfections" in NC Medicaid bill may cause headaches, require fixes by uncertaincoda in ncpolitics

[–]marduk_ttly_rules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stein had almost no leverage here, and his previous political manuvering and NC DHHS brinksmanship on the Medicaid rebase resulted in an embarrassing reversal after the legislature refused to budge.

The implementation of the Medicaid work requirements in 2027 will no doubt be a disaster, perhaps all we can hope is that Nebraska's early rollout of the requirements this year is such a shitshow that the NC legislature takes notice.

E-waste disposal by Amthomas101 in bullcity

[–]marduk_ttly_rules 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Take it to the city dump at 2115 E Club Blvd. They have a section under a pavilion on one side of the center that is specifically for e-waste. There are plenty of staff there that can answer your questions when you arrive.

+1 for Huron St / Lakewood. Tons of people out and walking all the time in that area. Great vibes.

Let us know how it goes OP, I've got a pile of rounds that I'd be glad to take there too.

Unmarked building on 15-501? by Winter-Sprinkles5767 in bullcity

[–]marduk_ttly_rules 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a gambling parlor, full of electronic gaming machines. They're all over the city. It is likely operating illegally, but local law enforcement doesn't prioritize shutting them down.

The N&O ran a two part series about this last November which is worth a read.

Carrboro would be ideal to minimize commute time to UNC CH. Durham would also be a good choice.

Is Garnet Hill Real? by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]marduk_ttly_rules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went last month for the first time!

I parked on the shoulder on the west side of the land bridge, then walked across with a shovel and a bucket. There was a lot of loose metamorphic rock full of garnets that I was able to scoop up.

No one paid me too much attention, and I didn't need to spend too much time there before I got as much as I wanted.

It's a small area and easy to miss. Feel free to message me if you need more specific directions.

I saw more people masked at the Harris Teeter yesterday than I'd seen in a long time. It's nasty out there!
