Full service unisex salon experience chain Hair Cuttery plans to open four locations across the Triangle by next year, opening in Raleigh, Durham, Cary and Chapel Hill by Monday, Feb. 1 .

They Grow the Best Flowers and Strawberries in North Carolina

There’s a picture of America that never goes out of style. A farm stand at the edge of a gravel lot. A hand-lettered sign. Buckets of zinnias by the register, a flat of strawberries still warm from the field, and someone behind the table who can tell you exactly where it all came from.

This North Carolina Dairy Farm Still Offers Fresh Milk In Old-Fashioned Glass Bottles

Milkshake, Cookie, Latte, and Chocolate Chip sound more like café orders than dairy cows. That little detail pulled me in first. The milk from this North Carolina herd still goes home in glass bottles, and the farm treats that as part of everyday business rather than a retro gimmick.

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel

St. Aug's faced deadline to plan exit from bankruptcy. What it's doing instead.

St. Augustine’s University faced a Monday deadline to explain to a judge how the 160-year-old historically Black university planned to exit bankruptcy. For the second time since the school filed for bankruptcy in April, the school asked for more time. The university did have a plan that would pay back the $74 million it owes to more than 300 creditors, according to the university’s lawyer, Ciara Rogers. That plan was likely predicated on selling parts of its 105-acre Raleigh campus. As Judge David Warren put it at an earlier hearing: the school “can’t have its legacy and its land too.” But at the last minute, the school’s board of trustees wanted to change course, Rogers said. Instead of filing a plan on time, the university’s board asked to hire a chief restructuring officer: Malcomb Coley, a North Carolina accountant with Chapter 11 bankruptcy experience who used to teach at St. Augustine’s and has served on the boards of trustees at UNC Wilmington and Queens University. Bankruptcy administrator Brian Behr told the court that this is one of the most challenging cases he’s ever seen — but that Coley’s newfound involvement gives him hope. “We’ve got very probably one of the

This Old-School North Carolina Model Train Shop Turns Just Looking Into An Entire Afternoon

Some shops are built for a quick in-and-out trip, and some are built for losing track of the clock. This one in Raleigh belongs firmly in the second group. The shelves run wall to wall with locomotives, rolling stock, track, scenery supplies, and vintage pieces that disappeared from most stores years ago. The staff will happily talk scales and transformers for as long as you have questions, and a resident cat may greet you at the door.
