I’m looking to find some good hikes away from the parkway. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Long shot here, did any lose their bearded dragon? Found in Linville.

Hey! Seeing about different creative/unique spots to take grad photos in Boone. Also wanting some places with steps for a specific shot that I want if possible. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for a new place to get my hair cut because my usual jacked her prices up and I can’t afford an $85 cut. I have long hair and I want a very layered look so I know I’ll have to shed some $ but I want to make sure I’m not wasting it.

I was looking at Shear Shakti but I’m not seeing any recent reviews which puts me off. Are they any good? Any other recommendations that aren’t Canvas/Mane Habit?? Individual stylists would be great too.

Hello, I’m speaking on behalf of some of the people (not frat affiliated) on Hippie Hill that have been affected by recent events with the sale of the buildings. We were advised by both the mayor and our legal counsel that one of our best options to help us resolve our issues would be to invite or get the Josh Stein and/or Jeff Jackson to come to Boone to see if they can help deal with Boone’s housing crisis. We need your help in calling their offices or commenting on their social media posts in order to drum up enough support so that they’d have to come if they want to win another election. We’re trying our absolute best to deal with the situation at hand (getting legal help, getting assistance from the town council, going to the local press) but if would be absolutely fantastic if y’all could give us a hand. If you need more information I can try to give you what I can without getting myself in trouble. Thank you.

Hi folks! I'm moving to Boone over the summer, and looking for some cycle routes that are on the shorter/less taxing side. I love cycling, but fell out of the habit a while back, so my fitness has taken a real hit. I also currently live somewhere with much less elevation. So part of what I'll be doing over the summer is rebuilding my fitness back to a decent level, and I'd like to keep that going in Boone. I've seen some great cycle routes in the area, but most seem a bit daunting for my current fitness level!

Are there any roads or routes that fellow cyclists would recommend for getting back into the swing of things?

Thanks in advance!

What are some decent summer only jobs that hire rather quickly/simply?? I work in education and I need a summer gig. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m a Boone local handyman looking to take on a few extra jobs these next few weeks.

Feel free to shoot me a message and I’ll let you know if I can help 👍

So, I need to make a podcast episode for a class. I was curious if there is anywhere on campus that I can record a video call between me and a friend with like microphones, a computer that I can record myself, camera attachments for rent, or whatever (I have never done this before).

Would love any info or advice thanks!

DM for details. :)
