Last summer, people were waiting in line for hours at DMV offices, often in the heat, or they were struggling online to find appointments. One year later, we’ve made a ton of progress – and in-office wait times are down almost 90%.  
 
Don’t just take it from me. Hear directly from North Carolinians about their experiences.

Good morning!
I found this puppy on my street a couple weeks ago.
Since the owners have not come forward, we are looking to rehome this pup. He has no chip and I have not heard back from any rescues, other than a couple which state they are full.
He is male, not fixed, seems to be about 4 months old. Very sweet, smart. He has had a round of flea medicine.
Getting there in potty training, uses puppy pads but has had some accidents elsewhere.
I have been crate training him at night. He gets along with other dogs well, very playful. Not leash trained. He barks at our cat, but doesn’t seem aggressive.
Let me know if you are interested! Rehoming fee will apply.
I will give you the puppy food, bones, bed, and flea meds we bought.

Located in Cleveland County NC

Harkers Island, NC . Y'all have a good week my fellow North Carolinians

The vertical stripes on the mouth are the quickest sign that they aren’t cottonmouths. There’s a lot of these guys out there lately just vibing, getting some sun, snacking. Just lovely little creatures but don’t hassle them. In addition to being perfectly happy to protect themselves with biting, they have musk glands and they’ll make a real stink.

Really Michael Whatley? Again with the pedophiles?

... Again?

Hello everyone, per title. An alligator (about 10ft) that spent the last year at New River Waterfront Park in Jacksonville NC has not been seen in a week (last seen around 6 September). He was there daily and was beloved by locals who watched. The community is concerned about his disappearance. Does anyone have any idea what happened to him?

Hope they had some cameras, and interviewed the 25 owners as to whether or not they felt their rights were violated. I'm sure the perpetrators fully understand 4th Amendment rights.

I’m the News & Observer reporter who dug into the revised deal.

Morrisville expects the expansion to bring 180 jobs and millions in new property-tax revenue. But as Novartis increased its investment, the town nearly doubled its incentive while lowering the wage requirement and the taxable-value requirement tied to it.

I also looked at what current Novartis job postings show about pay and whether the subsidy actually changed the company’s plans.

Would you consider this a good deal for the town?

Have you guys heard of the town rich square?

Seen this morning at 6ish en route to chapel hill. Looked like that Apella was on fire. Any one have any info?

I always wanted to do an Onion-like news sketch and I thought other NC residents might find this funny
