We (The Haks) are a 3 piece alternative rock band. We play loud and heavy. If you are a fan of 90's grunge, sonic youth, neil young, black metal, 2000s emo...these are a few of our influences.

Piss Pony sounds like their name, in the most endearing way possible. Twangy, grungy, heavy, catchy. Like a beer and glitter encrusted coaster, femme-led honkytonk-adjacent punk rock.

Reptile Cantina is a newer, awesome restaurant and venue in Morganton. Trying to get some locals to come get weird and make friends with some out of town bands.

Cheap $5 show. See you there! Or just come get some delicious tex-mex with the added side of loud rock music.

Are there any line dancing places open this Saturday night? Looks like a lot of places either don’t do Saturday nights or have live bands instead

To whoever left four tin containers filled with Yu-Gi-Oh cards in a trash can at the cupboard express on Springs Road and Highland, thank you!

My car taxes will be paid!

Do you know any parents of 10-12 year olds who live in NC? The Tweens on Screens project, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #northcarolina

Hey! It looks like the Saturday tickets for the Statesville hot air balloon show have sold out. That's a lot quicker than last year! I'm just trying to see if anyone has tickets for 2 that day that you're trying to sell. Feel free to DM me if so!

I have a wedding I’m attending on the 24th and the suit jacket I have is a little long/big. Anyone have any suggestions on a tailor? Would I even be able to get it done and back in time? Thanks!

I was over at that access the other day and happened to think about it. I drive across the bridge and pass it twice a day and I don't think I saw anyone out there all summer. I don't really recall seeing anyone use it last year either. When they first opened it I did see some people out there but it was only really weekends when the rest of the lake was busy. Just curious is all.

Good day y’all, would appreciate any recommendations for an in-home caregiving company for a family member with dementia. Cornerstone Caregiving is not meeting expectations. Thanks in advance!

I didn't see them tonight, but most nights around 7 p.m. this time of year, you can go outside and see (and hear) the Canada geese flying south for the winter!

I have only been in the area a little while but in that time have seen 7Brew and Guthrie's open up to massive popularity. Which is fantastic, but idfk wtf whoever designed that to be the only entrance to both was thinking, it literally backs up into the road and mall entrance, feels like they both keep lines moving as fast as possible but that bottleneck at times seems dangerous and prob turns away some business as well.

Just curious as I walked by the other day

I heard there was a new internet provider Ripple here in hickory and was wondering if I should switch from spectrum.

Any recent experiences (good or bad) that could point me in the a right direction? Thank you!

Hey guys, found this dog on the street by Viewmont. Unsure if he’s a stray or not, no collar. I will take him to shelter tomorrow if not claimed

Update - He has been dropped of the shelter

I know that there are used bookstores in the area. Does anyone know if they sell used puzzles or where I could get secondhand puzzles?

Has anyone left a rental with Scarlett how was the experience?
