Box Now provides free peer support to help you navigate options.

I’m a NC Certified Peer Support Specialist based in Chapel Hill and devote a significant amount of my time to helping people set personal goals, connect with others and move past unhealthy patterns. As a person in long-term recovery, who previously lived for years in denial about my problem, this is personal-passion work for me. Everything is completely free. Please know:

• You are not alone. Unhealthy alcohol use affects over 1 in 5 adults.
• Addressing it isn't a failure. Getting help is just a pit-stop toward peak performance.
• A better chapter is waiting. Many people live their best lives once they address unhealthy use.

Let’s talk!

I offer free one-on-one conversations to share experiences and perspectives about things that have helped (and what hasn’t!). The sole purpose is to support people starting to question their alcohol use – no judgment, no pressure, and complete confidentiality.

Would love to know if people are gathering anywhere!

Suppose instead of remediating the lead in the parks (which is perpetually delayed due to the underfunded conservative Nc deq) we just surround the problematic areas with rough sawn timber fencing (y'know rustic style) so the soil isn't disturbed and let it rewild. In the non-problematic areas, we could put in new playgrounds and do partial remediation, when we have the funding. This way, we don't spend as much money, we have much less delay, we get more wild forest to support local ecosystems, and we don't have to spend money on mowing grass that people don't really use intensively anyways. Wdyt?

These two cuties are vibing at the Pet Supplies Plus on Hillsborough Rd. At first I thought they weren’t real because they were so still. I asked about them and all the worker knew is that they just arrived. They completely stole my heart but we already have a dog and two cats. Posting here in case someone is looking for a bonded pair!

I am not used to leaves at all really, so it is a welcome surprise to see this.

This is my first time posting here, so I hope this is allowed! Anyone living in Durham back in the 80s & 90s? Can you please help me remember a store that was in South Square Mall? It was after the remodel, and I think it was near an escalator. The store was really bright, black and white checkered floor and loud music. Definitely a clothing store. If you remember please let me know what store this was!

Be careful, whatever it is!

Edit: looks like Hunt and Rigsbee

The Durham County Board of Commissioners meeting moved from everyday life to deep policy questions in a big way.

Right up front, the board clerk put out some important updates that hit home for a lot of people: - Early voting details and tools to check wait times. - A free Veterans Day celebration with live music and ceremony. - New Moderna COVID-19 vaccine appointments now available through the county.

From there, the conversation shifted hard into family caregiving. Community leaders laid out how unpaid care for children, older adults, and people living with dementia is quietly powering Durham’s health and economy.

Commissioners: - Opened up about their own caregiving experiences. - Talked openly about grief and burnout. - Publicly committed to joining a new caregiving coalition tied to the Durham Comprehensive Aging Plan. - Highlighted little-known benefits for veterans’ families.

The second half of the video gets into the thing everyone feels but rarely sees explained: property taxes.

You’ll hear: - Why Durham’s 2025 reappraisal pushed real property values past $70 billion. - What it really means for the county to be at "100% of market value". - How high vacancies and falling rents can coexist with rising commercial and multifamily sale prices. - What the appeals process actually looks like—from the tax office, to the Board of Equalization and Review, all the way up to the state’s Property Tax Commission and the courts. - Why appeal deadlines and late data made this one of the trickiest budget seasons in years.

And then there’s the Chesterfield building.

Commissioners responded directly to residents’ viral questions about nearly $1 million tied to that property. The tax team: - Broke down the difference between a release and a refund. - Explained the long-standing 50% historic exemption on the building. - Connected it to a broader, growing concern: state-level rules that now let private developers tap a charitable affordable housing tax break—sending exempted value in Durham from tens of millions to $420 million.

If you’ve wondered: - How to get support as a family caregiver in Durham, - What actually happens when you appeal your tax value, - Or why some downtown properties get big breaks while others don’t…

this meeting lays out more of the story than most people ever see.

Looking for

Bad drivers are everywhere but especially on S. Miami Blvd. Thank you to whoever was driving the blue toyota highlander this morning. Your 1 minute to spare is apparently more valuable than anyone else’s life. So yes, invest in that dash camera bc if my brakes didn’t brake on time, this would’ve saved me.

Sorry for the last minute notice but we won't be able to meet for crafting tonight - would next Tuesday Nov. 3rd work for anyone! Same time, 7pm, I'll text more later but basically if you saw my last post most of the basic info is in there.

Apologies for any inconvenience, but I really would love to get this going soon and meet up with my fellow Bull City Crafters soon!

Looking into possibly switching my health insurance during open season. Have had BCBS for years with no issues but when comparing costs I can save $3600 in my premium for the year by going to UHC. Anyone have pro/cons with UHC? How difficult is it getting seen by specialists at either Duke/Durham Regional or UNC ?

Message from owner:

Random, but sounded cool.

New teen drivers in my household so I need to back up my key fobs. I will have the key fobs done at Sam's (Costco vendor won't be back until late December).

Can anyone recommend a shop that can clone my aftermarket remote start fob for an 08' Expedition?

Hi y'all! I'm not a student but am a lifelong learner of languages. Does anyone know of any in person French classes in the Durham area? I saw the Durham Tech classes are online and asynchronous, but I'm looking for something with an instructor so that I can ask questions as I learn.

Additionally, if you have recommendations for other language classes in Durham, please let me know!! Always excited to learn any language. Thanks!!

As the title suggests, I am looking for some recommendations on some good trails to walk.
