We hope you can make it to Raleigh's and Durham's May Day events, but if you want to stay more local (or attend more than one!), we'll be hosting a drop-in demonstration from 10 am - 6 pm at the corner of Franklin & Elliott on Friday, May 1st. Stay for half an hour or the whole day!

From 12-2 pm, we will offer a voter registration and information table, plus we will provide snacks, bubbles, and chalk for the kiddos throughout the day.

Free parking at Church of Reconciliation - 110 N Elliott Rd or neighboring side streets. Park at Village Plaza at own risk.

Hi everyone! I know there have been similar posts on here, but my partner and I (late 20s) are moving in late July/early August and are looking for 2 bedroom recommendations. I’ll be at Gillings, but he works full-time/remotely so we’re considering Carrboro so I’m nearby and he can go walk outside during the day. Ideally we would like to find somewhere near the bus line (for me to go to class). Does anyone have any apartments or rental agencies they recommend/don’t recommend ? I’ve read about the horror stories with some landlords and complexes. We’re trying to stay around $1800 but can go up a bit if necessary. Thank you in advance!!!

I want to try making kudzu fabric, but pulling over somewhere on 15-501 to start hacking at vines seems like a bad idea. Anybody know a quiet spot where I could gather some kudzu?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a 1 bed / 1 bath apartment in Carrboro, ideally somewhere close to UNC and convenient to bus lines.

My budget is around $1200 to $1300 per month total, including rent, utilities and other costs. So far, I’ve mainly been looking at Ridgewood, Royal Park, and University Lake (all have $1000-ish base rent with the student discount), since their lower base rents seem like they could help me stay within budget.

I took the virtual tour for University Lake and thought it looked pretty decent, but I haven’t really heard enough yet from people who’ve actually lived there. I’d love to know what current or former tenants think, whether they’d recommend it, and what the main pros and cons are. I’m also open to other suggestions in or around Carrboro!

I also care about things like noise and how well the apartments handle heat/cold, so if anyone has thoughts on quieter buildings, whether certain units get too hot or too cold, and whether top floor vs. bottom floor makes a difference, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance. Would love to hear any recommendations or experiences people have had, and I’m really excited for my move to NC!

Executive Function 102 takes a deeper look at the everyday challenges many adults face with time, attention, accountability, and follow-through. We’ll explore why executive functioning skills are essential yet often hard to access, how American work culture has shaped our expectations around time, and why many adults struggle to sense, estimate, and plan time effectively.

We’ll challenge the idea that time is something we can control and instead focus on how we relate to it. Along the way, we’ll unpack why “time management” struggles are often really about distraction, energy, unclear expectations, and competing demands, and we'll take a compassionate look at what’s lurking underneath procrastination. 

Participants will learn practical, self-compassionate approaches to improve focus, reduce friction, and move tasks forward, along with key reminders they can return to when things feel sticky.

Join us April 30 in Hillsborough!

Just walked by two loose dogs on Greensboro. They turned onto the railroad path by Teeter. Both large and clearly a pair. Black with white muzzles (maybe?). Just posting in case someone is missing them.
