Photo UPDATE: Walnut Creek trash dam
1480 lbs of trash removed from the creek. So grateful for u/thegreatraleighcleanup and for all folks who signed up to help out!! You all are amazing. Thank you endlessly!
Special shoutout to the giant wolf spiders, the toad, and the marbled salamander who trudged through those waters with us. The kingfisher I saw on my walk home was the cherry on top! :')

Food Bourbon street kitchen
Crabtree mall: Anybody else always get overcharged when getting food here? They always up the price $3 more and when confronted about it they say it’s “tax”… they never want to give a receipt either… I don’t recommend this place at all.

Question/Recommendation Curly hair stylist?
I have recently grown out my hair when my barber left town. Does anyone know of a curly hair specialist or salon? I've heard horror stories of people getting their curls obliterated and I dont want all this lazy effort of not doing anything to go to waste.

Sports Want to Join a Local Fantasy Football League?
Hi y’all!
As football season rapidly approaches, I’m organizing a local fantasy football league. This league is for fantasy managers of all skill levels, from total novices to those with color-coded spreadsheets. Want to choose players based solely on their vibes or how cute their team colors are? Want to win the league and earn bragging rights? Want an excuse to eat an absurd amount of crockpot queso this year? We would love to have you!
Draft is tomorrow, 9/2, at 6:30 pm via ESPN.
If you’re looking for community and some friendly competition, this is the place for you! DM or comment and I’ll send the link!

Question/Recommendation Where to get a wedding dress?
I recently moved to Raleigh, and just got engaged. :) I don’t know any areas super well. I’m currently staying in the Oakwood area, and would love some recommendations for where to shop for a wedding dress!
I would prefer it if it was more of a relaxed shopping experience. I want to enjoy the experience and not feel stressed out about something that should be exciting.

Question/Recommendation Is there anywhere to buy queso asadero in the Raleigh/Garner area?
I'm looking for a block of queso asadero to make chile rellenos. All I'm seeing online for grocery stores in the area is a shredded mixed bag of multiple cheese types that includes some shreds of asadero.
I've checked: - Wegman's - Harris Teeter - Publix - Lowe's Foods - Food Lion - Carlie C's - Target - Walmart

Housing Mold proficient pre drywall inspector??
My first Reddit ask 😅
I have a genetic mutation (not the super power kind) that makes me very sensitive to environmental toxins. We decided to go under contract with a new build and I want to bring my own inspector in that is mold conscious and is very thorough with the wood inspection, flashing, plumbing, etc. Thanks!

Question/Recommendation Local app or web developer recommendations?
Hi there - I’m working on a little startup project called Hobby Hopper for local experiences in the Triangle.
I’ve been prototyping it myself on a no-code/low-code platform, but I know at some point I’ll need a real developer to help me build it out properly. I’d love to connect with anyone local who does app or web dev (React/JavaScript/etc.) or if you know someone you’d recommend.
I'm trying to find folks in the area who might be a good fit when I’m ready to take it further (which is feeling like soon). Appreciate any recommendations!

Question/Recommendation Unregistered tags for over 2 years - next steps?
I have a vehicle that has been sitting for 2 years. I just paid the insurance in the hopes I would be able to have it repaired. I have been unable to pay the DMV title/registration because the check engine light is on and the repairs are too expensive. What happens when it's unregistered that long? If I had it repaired tomorrow and wanted to pay the fees is that possible? Do I collect any debt? Thank you.

Indoor Activities Anyone want to start a crafting club?
Hi all! I’m 38F looking for some new friends. Given my ADHD, I have a lot of random arts and crafts supplies. I’d love to start a group that meets up regularly. Lmk if you’re interested.

Question/Recommendation Hair stylist - Women's
Good evening, all
I'm looking for a hair stylist that specializes in women's hair. I'm in need of a cut more than anything, but wouldn't mind colorist suggestions, too.
I've tried a well reviewed (Google) salon in Cary and walked out butchered. I haven't had a cut in two years to allow that mess to grow out.
So, fellow residents, any tried and true recommendations?
Thank you!
r/raleigh • u/jmac2043 • 15h ago
Question/Recommendation Crepe Myrtle Pruning
Hey all, I have several crepe myrtle trees on my property that have grown completed unchecked for years. I would like to have a professional trim them up. I noticed from being out and about that it is really easy to tell who had a professional come handle the job versus DIY. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pro?

Question/Recommendation Apartments in Downtown Raleigh?
I am moving to Raleigh around end of September. I have never been and don’t know anyone in the city. After doing some online research and another post on this Reddit, I decided on Downtown area. I am looking to be somewhere lively, and walkable (mostly for bar/breweries/restaurants/coffee). I narrowed my list to the following apartments.
- 400H
- 511 Faye
- The Dillon
- The Metropolitan
- Mira
Do y’all have any insights on the location/service/amenities? They are all within my budget, so looking for the best location and quality. TIA

Out-n-About 50/55+mph roads
Hello all. I recently made the leap and got a motorcycle. I've been practicing the basics at lower speeds. Now I would like to get used to driving faster. However, I'm not comfortable with going on parkways just yet. Are there any 50/55mph speed limit roads that are less populated in the East Raleigh/ Gardner area?

Question/Recommendation ISO: 1 Good Automated Car Wash
Was just looking to get a simple car wash this morning and it turned into a journey. Drove to 2 washes w/ broken terminals and finally made it to a 3rd one that worked, (sort of). Zips @ BC had broken terminals so I had to tap to pay on a square terminal connected to an iPad held by the attendant. Little sketch but the charge was right. Car is 70% clean after a$24 wash. Where is a good drive-thru wash that really does the trick for under $30? I’m over being bombarded to sign up for a membership and paying $20-$30 for a half-a@@ result. I know the hand wash and mobile places are great, but I only pay for a high end detail/wash about 1x or 2x a yr. Please don’t name one of the membership places because in my exp at multiple places they never get my car clean.
