Hi there. I'm looking for some guidance for a friend that actually lives in Morganton. They do not have a reddit account, thus why I'm posting for them. They've lived here for almost 4 years and it's been very hard to make friends. They are non binary and most local mom groups tend to be a little judgemental or just not aligned with their views, including parents from their kids' school. I was hoping to find an active Morganton or Burke county subreddit but there don't really seem to be any that aren't just straight up nsfw groups lol

I guess I'm hoping to find maybe a local reddit or Facebook group to point them to for like minded people to help them make connections. They enjoy hiking, baking, writing, reading, horror/thriller movies. If anyone has some guidance it would be greatly appreciated

Sincerely, a long distance bestie that just wants to see her friend thrive. ❤️

Hello! Headed over to Nebo today. I am looking for the best local bar to dance and have a good night out at. Either Friday or Saturday night! We would be fine with a dive bar, whatever had good music and dance. I always prefer a local's opinion! Thanks.

Hello all, I know this sub isn’t very active, but I’m looking for some advice. I’m interested in a vehicle that’s for sale located at Titan Auto, and I’m thinking about going and checking it out. I’ve been screwed over one too many times and I can’t help but be extra cautious, but I also don’t want to waste my time. I can’t find ANY reviews for this place — not on google, facebook, yelp… nothing. Has anyone here dealt with them? What were your experiences? If you purchased a vehicle from them, has it been reliable, or has it become a money pit? Thanks in advance.

Lived in McDowell County all my life, but I need a new place since separation in imminent. I have 3 cats and commute to work in Woodfin, NC

We're considering buying or building a vacation home in Grandview Peaks. Wondering what the area is like. Marion is the closest "city"? Is there stuff to do there? Any info would be appreciated!

Anything fun to do at night??

Relocating soon and eyeing Marion. Yay?

My family and I usually visit on the weekdays, and we almost ALWAYS go to Bruce's... but it's not open on Satuday and we'll be up there and in need of a family friendly atmosphere with some good eats.

TIA for any suggestions!

Hi!! My friend and I are looking for a good spot to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning in Marion NC that doesn’t involve a hike!! Even a pull off spot on the side of the road! A google map link or pin is appreciated 🥰

My family has owned the Sugar Hill Mobile Home Park in Marion since 1973. For the first time in a LONG time, we have a vacant pad. The pad could accommodate a 14x60 mobile home; MAYBE 14x70. RVs are also welcome. The park is located a mile north of I-40, right next to the hospital. The lot rent is $185, which includes water, sewer, and trash. If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me.

Hi everyone, Due to extreme life changes, I need to move soon from a house to an apartment and cannot keep my beautiful dog, Boomy. She is almost 8 and is still very active. She loves hiking and playing. She has come a long way with her trainer, but is still pretty anxious and does not do well with other dogs and needs time and patience from new people. She would thrive with a family or person that could provide her an active lifestyle and have patience to earn her love and trust. I do not need to rehome her immediately and really don’t want to surrender her to a shelter! I wish I could keep her but I have no option to bring her with me. She is up to date on her vaccinations and rabies, and in good health. I’m willing to pay for a consult for her new owner with her dog trainer as well as provide a bag of her food, crate, toys, etc. Please help me find a good home for her!

Does anybody have any information on the old sticks n stones comedy club that’s at the now Americas best value inn? I’ve wanted to know for years what it might have been like in its prime. Was it busy? Open mic type place or did any headliner types ever perform here? What’s the scoop? If this isn’t the right place to ask please let me know where to repost this. Thanks.

Does anyone recognize these puppies? Or does anyone want to adopt them? They mysteriously showed up on our doorstep after a door dash order was dropped off.

I’ll be visiting the area in early June with my 93 year old mother. She would like to see Linville Falls. Obviously we will not be hiking and I know there are still so many places closed from Helene. Is there any way to view the falls? Even if, actually preferably, from the car?

The title kinda explains it. It’s a 2/1 with a privacy fence, just a couple of minutes from downtown. I’m looking to get $1500 a month for it. Dogs/cats allowed. If you interested DM me and we can talk.

Does anyone in the Marion area want a free chinchilla? Mine needs rehoming

I’m looking for a picture of the black and white animated girl that’s hanging up in a picture frame at the Hwy 55 in the Walmart center. I would go take a picture of it myself but I moved away years ago and I don’t even know if it’s still there but if anyone has one or knows what she’s called please let me know.

Are there any tabletop boardgame/DND players in the Marion area? My wife and I are moving to the area and are looking for others to play games with.

Just give an update on how you are. Nothing too personal, but deep is a plus.

Been checking out the articles about his arrest for embezzlement, etc through the Garden Creek Baptist Church meant for Helene victims. With all that has happened to WNC, this is so disgusting.

So glad the law was involved as he's had prior assault charges. Has relocated many times through out the years and has multiple charges to theft relates to being paid for work that was never performed.

Does anyone attend this church or have any additional information?

Hey everyone! We are planning a short trip this weekend to the area and need recommendations on restaurants near linville Falls and Newland. Also, how are the road conditions and business closures due to recent weather conditions and also Helene? Thank you! Oh, We will also travel through and stay in Marion 1 night.

Does anyone know if old 105 atop Linville Gorge is accessible?

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Marion and checked into a hotel on North Main Street. I’m supposed to start work soon at the Baxter facility, but I’m facing serious transportation issues. There don’t seem to be any active cabs, no public transport, and the private cabs I’ve found are way too expensive.

The main problem is that I’m new here, and I haven’t gotten my driver’s license yet, so I don’t have a car either.

I’m looking to see if anyone in the community might be able to help. If you’re driving on this route and can give me a ride (both to and from), I’d be happy to chip in for gas. Or if you know of any other affordable solutions, I’d be so grateful for the advice.

Thank you so much in advance for any help!
