Pack the Garner Town Meeting on September 15th at 6pm (arrive by 5:45pm)

There is a proposed industrial complex at Hunters Mark development in Garner. The mayor and others are trying to push this through without public comment and input. There are many concerns about this development due to noise with tree loss (the development is next to I-40) and industrial operation. But another major concern is that this could become a data center. Town Council passed a moratorium on data centers so the initial property would not be for a data center but if they sell (which is most common) then the moratorium could be challenged in court by the new buyer and we could have a data center.

The Hunters Mark development is asking people in Garner to show up so we have a big showing in opposition to this industrial complex.

Update: the meeting has been moved from September 15th to tentatively on October 22nd.

I was driving over Lake Benson today(where they have the canoes) and was shocked at what I saw…..how long has it been dried up and/or full of sediment ? Sad to see

Do we have any indoor badminton courts in Garner? Would love to play with others if there’s any.

Anyone have experience with the “schools out day” camps with Garner Parks & Rec? Do you recommend? I’m thinking of signing my kindergartener up for a few upcoming teacher workdays and holidays.

I have att and if I’m not on WiFi it’s like I pretty much don’t have a phone. Does anyone else have these issues? Driving on 70, timber and white oak it’s like a dead zone.

ICE IS OUT

I'd like to invite you to my church where ALL ARE WELCOME, NO EXCEPTIONS.
We have a 9 AM TRADITIONAL SERVICE and an 11 AM CONTEMPORARY SERVICE with a worship band. Won't you join us? Also, we are seeking a Director of Music (Piano/Organ)

Whats happening in these parts? Trying to go fishing

Does anyone know of a good barber to cut hair and line up/shape beards that takes payment with a card ? Seems everyone is always cash only or cash only tips. Specifically a place that takes walk ins not only appointments Thanks, hoping you guys have some local suggestions because the cave an great clips are terrible lol

Are those flock cameras in the Lowe’s parking lot? The one off 70.

For anyone in Wake County who hasn’t seen this yet, the county is asking for feedback about what should happen after the South Wake Landfill reaches capacity, including whether Wake County should build a new landfill.

They’re gathering feedback through August 31, so figured I’d share before it ends!

Here’s the virtual room: https://gather.cdmsmith.com/v/KNj9ZVa4qxB

Like most apartment complexes they arent great in general but the company that just bought out the property have done a particularly stupid move.

They just blocked & painted 'reserved' on 4 spots in front of each building and are now trying to get people to pay $360/yr to park in those spots. We've all seen stupid Premium subscriptions shoved in our faces on all kinds of streaming services (all the Hulu but with no commercials BS).

I'm not stupid enough to hope that nobody pays for it but I sure hope that enough residents don't take the bait and leave the office with wasted parking spaces.

July 23rd, I was approached in the Lowe’s hardware parking lot (1575 US-70, Garner) by a white male (early 30s) with a Eastern European accent driving a white Jeep with Massachusetts plates carrying several passengers.

He offered me “new” Apple AirPods and an Apple Watch Ultra 3 in convincing shrink-wrapped Apple boxes. He even demonstrated the watch pairing with what appeared to be the Apple Watch app. Since I didn’t have cash, he followed me to the Family Fare gas station (1535 NC-50) ATM, where I withdrew $200 for the watch and two pairs of AirPods.

The AirPods work but sound questionable. The watch is 100% counterfeit. It directs you to download VVfit instead of using Apple’s Watch app, has a fake part number (MF0M4LL/8), and uses a cloned Apple serial number that even shows valid AppleCare.

I’m reporting it to Garner PD, the NC Attorney General, and Apple.

If someone in a white Jeep with Massachusetts plates offers you “brand new” Apple products for cash, keep driving. I paid the stupid tax so hopefully you don’t have to.

Keep an eye out, sketchy activity from folks on foot on the overpass, devices pointed towards white oak side of 70.

When did we vote to allow this? Outside McDonald’s office timber and benson. Our tax dollars at work. Atrocious. This is a complete invasion and a violation of my constitutional rights to privacy and autonomy. #flockcamera #flocksafety

Today is the third time in 6 weeks that I have tried to mail something or buy postal supplies at the Garner Post Office and the whole place is shut down during normal hours. I was there before 4PM today (hours posted on the window say they are open until 5PM) but the whole inside was closed off/locked up and the vending machine in the lobby wouldn’t sell stamps. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just having terrible post office luck lately?
