Event Spotlight

Today is Groundhog Day, and while the majority of the country turns to Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil, the Triangle has Snerd, Garner’s own weather-predicting groundhog. Out of 11 predictions, Snerd has prognosticated only five early springs, and we can’t wait for this year’s prediction.

From 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., meet at Garner Recreation Center — only 15 minutes outside of downtown Raleigh — for a Groundhog Day Celebration. Snerd will make his prediction at 12 p.m. sharp, but show up early to see live animals, meet Chase from “Paw Patrol,” and visit educational booths.

News Notes

Mansion Monday

This ITB Midtown home feels right out of a catalog with navy cabinetry, sophisticated light fixtures, and top-of-the-line appliances. And that’s just the kitchen. Explore more of this stunning home.

Watch

Do not try this at home. Storied rock climber Alex Honnold recently climbed the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan without ropes or a harness, and Netflix livestreamed the event. If he ever came to the City of Oaks, we wonder which of our most iconic landmarks he would scale.

Sports

Super Bowl LX is locked in — the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will meet Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area. Consider this your cue to text the group chat and pick a Raleigh sports bar for game day. (USA Today)

Travel

It can be tough to find time to work out. Good news — a new study suggests that a couple of 30-45 minute sessions per week could be enough to make “very good gains.” If you’ve got the time, see which of Raleigh’s gyms would suit your schedule. (NPR)

Eat

We’re in the depths of winter — that might explain why people are so interested in soup at the moment. A cozy sweater and a warm bowl at one of the 919’s super soup spots sounds great right now.

Jobs

Whether you’re a small business looking to grow your team or a large company filling a key role, our Job Board can connect you with engaged, qualified locals who are ready to work. Post your open roles + watch the applications roll in.

Number

$0. That’s how much 94% of Nourish patients pay out of pocket to talk to a dietitian covered by their insurance. You could be covered, too — check your coverage + get matched with a dietitian who can cut through the food noise and build you a plan to thrive.*

The Buy

FDA-approved GLP-1 medications for just a few dollars per day. If you’re tired of the Ozempic price tag and endless doctor’s appointments, opt for one of these top options — no insurance required + delivered directly to your door.
