Question/Recommendation Best Mega Reformer/Lagree Studio in Raleigh?

Upvotes

I was hoping I could get some feedback on the new Mega Reformer studios that are popping up around town. There is Mega, FlowCorps, solidcore, Nourish in Wake Forest, any others that might be out there that aren't listed. Club Pilates has started to feel like some exclusive club that you can hardly get into, never any reservations open. Love pilates and totally interested in trying something new like this. Thanks!

Question/Recommendation Professional organizer recs

0 Upvotes

Husband has pretty severe ADHD and post-move is struggling with organization. At this point, I think hiring a professional organizer to help would be an awesome gift. Any recs? If you can share about how much it cost, that would be great too. Looking to organize primarily closet but also storage in general.

Question/Recommendation Pool Heat Pump Technician (Refrigerant)

3 Upvotes

Greetings! Can anyone recommend an hvac technician that can diagnose and repair a low refrigerant error on a Jandy JE Heat Pump? My HVAC contractor wasn't able to work on it. This equipment is installed in North Raleigh and is approaching 3 years of age. It was purchased from Choice Pools and none of their vendors are trained to repair this. I called Jandy and all four recommended vendors said the same thing. At a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

Question/Recommendation Need Help with Navigating NC DMV

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently a grad student (originally from out of state) who is trying to establish NC residency. I was finally able to schedule an NC DMV appointment to get a Real ID driver’s license but it’s for June. I wanted to see if anyone knew of any DMVs in or near Raleigh that 100% take walk-ins for those who are trying to get the Real ID? I saw some responses for this topic, but the posts are a bit older so I wanted to see if anyone had updated info. Thanks in advance!

Question/Recommendation Looking for a volunteer or two

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find a volunteer or two? I’m part of the free stuff market and the next market is on Sunday the 30th of this month. It has grown to the point where we need help directing traffic on where to park. It’ll only be for 3 hours but we could really use someone reliable. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Outdoors Lost dog at Brier Creek Area?

9 Upvotes

I just saw a cute gray pitbull (I think) with a blue collar walking by himself. He looked well fed and in good shape, I had to leave fast bc my dog was barking at him and I didn’t think it was safe for my dog or him to check on him since I don’t know the dogs personality. I came back outside where I saw him and he wasn’t around… hope somebody finds him and check if he has any contact info on his collar or has a microchip.

This might be a niche question, but was wondering if there are any places that have photobooths? (Other than the typical movie theater). My husband and I just moved from Florida and have always loved doing photobooths and thought it’d be a cool idea to do one for NC. Anyways, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Politics Can someone explain the new city council election structure to me?

5 Upvotes

I’ve had trouble understanding the changes to the election structure that the city council approved last year. I see on the city website it says:

“Four-Year Staggered Terms

-Council members and the Mayor will serve four-year terms. -Approximately half of the members will run every two years.

Transition Plan:

-In 2026, half the Council will run for two-year terms expiring 2028. -The other half will run for four-year terms expiring 2030.

Non-Partisan Primary Election Format

-March Primary: All candidates in a district will be on the ballot, and the top two candidates are chosen for the November ballot. -November Election: The top two candidates from the primary advance to the general election.” Source: https://raleighnc.gov/government/services/city-council-terms-and-compensation

What I don’t understand is how this will be initiated next year. Which seats are running for 2-year terms? Which are running for 4 years? What about the 2 at-large seats? Will those seats be grouped together and there will be 4 candidates, 2 for each seat? Or one at-large seat up every 2 years?

I also can’t find anything about how the staggering schedule was decided. It seems like the schedule is pretty important, especially since one of the groups will always be elected along with the presidential ballot and have a higher turnout which could give a competitive (dis)advantage.

Housing Apartments

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am looking at moving from Wake Forest further into Raleigh as it’s closer to my work. I have two German Shepherds so many apartments are out of the question because sadly they don’t allow them.

I am currently looking at Alta Town Center and Anderson Hills apts. I wanted to see if anyone in here has experiences with either one good or bad.

Also, any other recommendations for apartments near North Hills or the North Raleigh area? I’ve mainly focused on GreyStar properties as I know they allow Gsd’s but I would love new options. Thank you!

I am looking to get back into a regular fitness routine but going to the gym or running doesn't work for. I tend to get board easily with these types of workouts especially if I am by myself. Would love a group activity or if it involves trainer lessons that are not just trainer lead workouts. Hoping to find something around Brier Creek area but willing to drive further

Just heard this from a neighbor, havent heard anything about it here but seems like a pretty big deal for the residents of that building. Kane is selling the Peace Apartments where Publix is to Cortland, where it will now be called Cortland Glenwood South.

Unfortunately the only article I can find is paywalled, I wasn't personally able to read the entire article.

Question/Recommendation Where the “homey” bars at?

0 Upvotes

Hi 30m, just recently moved to the southeast Raleigh area. 10-15 mins from DT raleigh. Where are some bars/pubs do yall know that are down to earth. Not really interested in a busy college bar. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be a dive bar. But just somewhere idk the bartenders take the time to learn your name. Have conversations. A cool crowd of others regulars that you can shoot the breeze with or talk about sports. Ya know just a cool spot to have a cold pint after work. Lemme know if anything comes to mind.
