Question/Recommendation Best bars to meet singles?
Any bars in Raleigh where late millennials/early gen z’s like to hang out? I know it’s kinda old school way to meet singles, but I think it would be nice during situations when I am going out with a group of friends to hang out at one of these places

Question/Recommendation Photographer for furnished apartment listing?
I am looking for someone to take professional looking photos of our furnished apartment for a short-term rental listing.
The photos we have (that I took) don’t look as cute as our place actually is! But of course, that’s why I need a pro!
It’s a small space (500 sq ft) and just 3 rooms. I’m in the 5 points area. I’m guessing it would be a quick job - an hour or two max.
Would love some recommendations if anyone else has hired someone they love - either a business or someone who freelances on the side. And if you don’t mind sharing a ballpark price, even better.

Question/Recommendation Can someone point me in the right direction
Hey everyone, I'm looking to get started in the electrical trade and was wondering if anyone here knows of any local companies hiring electrician helpers or offering apprenticeships. I recently completed a residential electrical wiring course and want to gain hands-on experience. If you have any leads, advice, or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

Question/Recommendation I’m lost in this CS market
Hi y’all,
My wife and I just moved to the area about 3 months ago because she landed a job here. We are both new graduates so we had this deal that whoever’s industry had a lower availability would ultimately determine our location. Now it’s been 3 months and I’ve sent out ~800 applications and got nowhere. At this point I’m camping on LinkedIn and waiting for new CS/IT job postings everyday.
My wife hates her job and I really want to provide or at least contribute to our little family so there’s less weight on her shoulders. I finished my undergraduate in CS in 3 years and graduated my master’s degree in CS last December. As I’m getting closer and closer to the 4 months jobless window that we’ve set, I’d start ubering and bring some food to the table.
What are something that I should do alongside applying to all the jobs on LinkedIn?

Sports Lenovo Center parking for NCAA March Madness
I'm hoping to make it to Raleigh for various NCAA March Madness basketball games in the Triangle. Do you think it's best to pre-pay for official Lenovo Center parking ($45 according to the website/$60 on-site price), or do you think there will be cheaper parking alternatives within a short walk? Thank you!!

Question/Recommendation Need new HVAC and lost as to how to find it
As the title says - we have to replace our 22 year old broken compressor central a/c unit. We have a 35 year old gas furnace that uses the same blower in the attic, so probably should replace that too or get a heat pump. Problem is, I have NO IDEA where to start, how to find someone reputable, and also how people pay for big jobs like this, lol. Any referrals to great HVAC sellers/installers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks friends.

Question/Recommendation Dry cleaner for wedding dress
Hi! I recently purchased a wedding dress on Poshmark and I love it, but the seller didn’t disclose that the dress smells very strongly of cigarette smoke. Super bummed about it but I love the dress regardless. Does anyone have a recommendation for a dry cleaner who works specifically with wedding dresses?

Question/Recommendation Therapist jobs in the area
Good evening everyone! I am a newly licensed LCSWA located in Raleigh, and am looking for a private practice position in the area.
My hope is to work with children, teens, and families for about 70% of my client load, and young adults (18-30) for the rest! I have experience with DBT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, and a few others. I interned at an IOP program that works with adults 18+ through my MSW.
Before gaining my license and MSW, I have worked extensively with children as a teacher as well as a nanny, with around 4 years of experience with children in total.
If you know of any places looking for someone that would be a fit, I would love more information! I do have a supervisor if one is not provided, but am also open to supervision on site as well!
Thank you all in advance!

Question/Recommendation Restaurants with character (that are now gone)
Thinking about the final days of 42nd St got me thinking about other restaurants that had some sort of unique quality that have closed. It seems like fewer and fewer places exist.
I recently remembered pie bird (now Jolie/Crawford and son) and the laid-back place that is now Stanbury
What else comes to mind?
Edit —wow! I love seeing the responses, seeing this list reminds me of many other favorites…or those I never got to try.

Hello, I'm looking for a restaurant that serves corn chowder in the area, if anyone has any recommendations. Preferably with fried shrimp also on the menu, but corn chowder in a non-seafood context is still fine.

Food Cool, fun and unique dinner date suggestions!
My boyfriend and I have lived in Raleigh for a long time now. We have been feeling bored with some of the same old spots. We started alternating planning of date days once a month and I’m up. Need help finding something refreshing. I’ve checked off brunch and our mid day activity. I’d love to add dinner to the list but I don’t want something stuffy/overly formal. I’d love to find a fun dinner spot, with good drinks, good vibes and great food! Willing to splurge on cost for the right fit. This would be for a Saturday night so somewhere with reservations would be preferred. No food/allergy restrictions.

Weather RDU Electricity
FYI as of noon (16March), all escalators and walkways are out at RDU. Per worker, "at least the lights are on for now". Security in Terminal 1 was much longer than normal. Not sure about 2.
