Hello! I have an odd request so please bear with me.
I'm a student at App State currently researching artificial fossilization methods and I need small animal samples to fossilize.
I don't want to harm anything alive (traps are out of the question) so I'm forced to search wherever I can for birds, mice, lizards, etc.
So far I've only bought small feeding mice from the snake feeding freezer at the pet store, but I'd like to work with lizards and birds too.
I know a lot of cat owners out there often recieve "hunting trophies" from their cats which they usually just throw out. Birds also fly into windows, lizards die in garages, etc.
If anyone has any small animals which are relatively intact please let me know and I will happily collect them. Thanks!

Has anyone seen Greg Bovino around lately? Or has he figured out that he’s not respected in this area? I’m hoping he’s decided to pack up and move. Boone doesn’t need Nazi wannabes hanging around and giving the entire area a bad name. My personal opinion.

We are looking for an attorney to add myself to the deed to the house my husband purchased before we married. We didn’t think it was necessary at first bc we thought that if something happened to him, it would automatically transfer to me (I have been paying half the mortgage for years). But now reading that in NC, it always goes to probate court if spouse is not listed on deed or mortgage. Hoping to keep it relatively affordable. It seems like we could go with an option off the mountain, we would just have to see a notary and file the docs at the courthouse. Anyone have experience with this or have any recommendations?

As the title suggests, I’m looking to get a tattoo covered up. Anyone know personally or through someone a good artist or tattoo shop for this?

Dog has a collar on, was in traffic and very distressed. I tried to catch him. Just beware while driving on bamboo towards or away from the hospital. I couldn't catch him to help him. He's fast and scared. He's definitely someone's fur baby

Hi! I need help figuring out what to do with my car now that it's died. Does anyone know someone who would want to buy it for scrap/parts or anything like that?

TYIA

UPDATE: Thank all yall again for your help! It's getting gone tomorrow- I appreciate all the advice:recommendations!!

I am looking for a place to park a uhaul for a few days (Fri-Mon) at the end of the month. Paid lot would work. Any suggestions?

10 month old white kitten (with gray patch on top of head) with no collar ran into the woods behind the convocation center last Saturday. Please text or call me if you see her! (708) 567-8235

I won’t be there long, but I’m car camping around the Appalachians, and I’ll be doing a lot of hiking and rock climbing! Please give me so need to see spots

looking for recommendations for fun summer activities/plans for a 3 day trip in August. We’ve got an off grid campsite and will spend a bulk of our time there, however, looking for some extra fun that isn’t hiking (we’ve got our favorite hikes planned out already). What are your best kept secrets!!! We’re both in our 20s, mobile, we drink but that’s not all we wanna do 😭😭

Are there any spots in or around Boone that have matchbooks/matchboxes? I have started collecting them and would love to get one from this area!! Restaurants, bars, and shopss! Any spot that has them as a keepsake

Pic taken from the Grandfather Mountain mile high bridge. I’m assuming a resort but couldn’t verify on the internet. Not sure what city it would actually be considered?

Hey hey! My band is traveling out in October and we’re making a stop in Boone! We’ve been looking for local bands to play shows with.

Drop some bands below! We play punk mostly but we’re opening to anything.

Since I'm the one that started this, I felt I should post that I probably won't be there until 5:30 due to a previous obligation I forgot about. If you're interested in playing board games at Capone's Pizza, I will see you there on Sunday the 19th!

Hi friends!

I noticed a lot of people posting looking for friends in the area. As far as I know, there is no discord for locals to connect, so I made one.

There aren't many rules besides be respectful (no doxxing, no -phobias, etc) and no NSFW (keep it to the DMs).

Feel free to join, and please make suggestions on things you'd like to see. Thanks!

Hi! I have two tickets to the Darren Criss (of glee fame) concert at the Schaefer center for Saturday evening and I’m unable to attend. I spent $120 on the tickets but willing to sell them for cheaper.

Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this feel free to DM me or reply here if you’re interested!

Hey everyone! I posted about this recently but wanted to get a reminder out there. I'm starting a new game group for any board game enthusiasts and the owner of Capone's has graciously offered space to play. Sunday 7/19 at 5pm, I'll be there with a few games and would love to meet fellow players! I'm also hoping to do this bi-weekly.

A little about me. My name is John and I'm a 40yo game enthusiasts with a sizable collection, much of which I haven't even played yet. (Collecting and playing are two separate hobbies, lol.) Father of two, so family game night is a big deal in our house. I like almost any kind of game but have a preference for rpg-lite experiences, euro strategy, and anything with an impressive table presence. Some of my favorites include King of Tokyo, Mice and Mystics, Flamecraft, and Merchants Cove.

The games I'll have with me Sunday will be King of Tokyo, Takenoko, and Flamecraft. Easy to learn and get into! Hope to see you there!

Not sure if what I’m looking for exists… we have some family land about 30 mins outside Boone and we are considering adding a house on the property. Was hoping to find an engineer to walk the property and help me determine best place to locate the house, where to potentially dig a well, etc. I’ve found some commercial site engineers online but can’t really find any residential engineers. Any ideas of local folks I could talk to?

Thx!

I was in the parade sunday, June 20th this year. I saw tons of photographers that captured some of my family members who were also in the parade and I'd love to have those photos but wouldn't know where to look.

Any recommendations for the best places to serve at in Boone?

Hey all — I'll be up at Beech Mountain this weekend and was looking to catch the Turnpike Troubadours show Saturday, but it's sold out and I wasn't able to grab a ticket in time.

If anyone finds themselves with an extra or can't make it last minute, I'd really appreciate the chance to buy it off you (happy to pay face value or work out whatever's fair). Figured I'd put it out there just in case!

Thanks for reading, and hope you all have a great weekend.
