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 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.

New to the Triangle: Lifestyle store in Durham, cakes in Apex and a Raleigh hotel

The Triangle is gaining new retail, dining and lodging options this fall and into 2027. From an Asian lifestyle retailer to a luxury Raleigh hotel, here’s a rundown of what’s arriving. Here are key takeaways: TESO Life , a national retailer specializing in Asian lifestyle goods , opened its Durham store at 14600 Durham Chapel Hill Blvd. on Oct. 31, with a Cary location planned at Crossroads shopping center. The company sells beauty products, toys, collectibles and household items, and plans to open 51 stores across 18 states by the end of 2026. Apex’s Beaver Creek Crossings has signed Jason’s Deli, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Avalon Nail Salon as new tenants for a development opening in the later half of 2027. The Jason’s Deli will feature a drive-thru — a first in the area — and Nothing Bundt Cakes will be the first of its kind for Apex. Oberlin Hotel , the Village District’s first lodging property, has opened at 501 Woodburn Road in Raleigh as part of Hilton’s Curio Collection.

Consumer complaint leads to paused sales at Triangle gas stations. How to report

State inspectors found problems that could harm consumers at pumps at 15 gas stations across Wake, Durham and Johnston counties. Many inspections happened on routine visits, but inspectors also follow up on consumer complaints. If you spot an issue at the pump, here’s how to file a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards Division. Full story: Gas sales temporarily stopped at 15 Triangle stations. Here’s where and why File online: Go to ncagr.gov , navigate to the Standards Division webpage, scroll down and click the “Complaints & Requests” box to report problems. By phone or email: Call 984-236-4751 or email program manager Chad Parker at chad.parker@ncagr.gov to flag an issue. What inspectors look for: Problems like “abnormal performance” and “meter creep” — when the gas pump trigger is released but the meter keeps climbing — can get a pump tagged and taken out of service. In general, these inspectors check weighing and measuring devices for accuracy. Complaints drive inspections: Of the Triangle visits between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, consumer complaints prompted inspections at 19 stations. Chad Parker, measurement manager with the Standards Division, said complaints tick up when gas prices rise. Where pumps

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.

Gas sales temporarily stopped at 15 Triangle stations. Here's where and why

State inspectors found issues with gas pumps at 15 Triangle stations, pausing sales to help protect consumers. Inspectors from the Standards Division of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services visited dozens of stations across the Triangle area between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, records obtained by The News & Observer show. Many of the pumps had no problems, but at a handful of stations in Wake, Durham and Johnston counties, inspectors found issues that could harm consumers. When that happens, inspectors “tag” pumps, meaning they are taken out of service until issues are resolved. Some of the inspections were routine, but visits to 19 stations were prompted by consumer complaints. Chad Parker, measurement manager with the Standards Division, previously told me that complaints tick up when gas prices rise. Prices have started to drop over the past month, after the law that paused the state’s collection of the motor fuels tax went into effect in early October. But in the months leading up to that, since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, gas has been expensive. Average prices for a gallon of regular gas in North Carolina increased from $3.72 Aug. 19 to $4.15 Sept. 19, before dropping to
