1. Amy Shair
OK....so this is more like a 4.75 star review, but I'll explain....less than the 5000 character limit, of course. ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I realize that it's always important to do your own due diligence when it comes to real estate (or anything for that…More »
2. Mitchell Gold Outlet
SCORE!
Just an update that we went back on the last weekend in July after our heartbreaking first visit. Needless to say, we learned from our mistakes this time. We snagged a nice 89" Cara sofa and a closeout on some old Baxter chair at almost 70% off…More »

Our recent trip to Ikea played out like an episode from Mission Impossible for us....

4. Chapel Hill Self Storage
CAVEAT: this review is only for the truck rental booked online with them and not their storage.
OK...So, remember that old school game Mortal Kombat back in the 90's? This business is like one of those ninja characters, the original Reptile - you…More »
5. U-Haul
Just an update since we've closed out our storage here in anticipation for our new home....but wanted to say that the 8 month stint we put our goods up into solitary confinement went well without a hitch.
Facilities: Clean and pristinely manicured…More »

We just recently rented out a climate controlled storage space to make room in our house. We visited… Read more »
6. Trimark Services Inc
So, we used these guys at the end of November 2010 to get a home inspection done for us. Being under contract and having to deal with the holidays and a quick Option 2 deadline, Jim and his crew at Trimark were simply spectacular, prompt and…More »
7. World Market
Durham, NC 27713

Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Home Decor,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
I have to give WM 5 stars for pretty much furnishing half our apartment and our soon to be new family den all on a budget. Furniture value is where WM gets a huge leg up on the competition...and if you factor in the sales, well, you might walk out…More »
8. Pier 1 Imports
We've purchased various items from tables to chairs to tableware and glass from P-1-I in the past and this location is not unlike the other I've been to elsewhere - QA and QC are still in check and when you see the blue Pier 1 Imports sign, you know…More »
9. Furnitureland South
Jamestown, NC 27282
(866) 436-8056
Categories:
Furniture Stores,
Carpeting,
Mattresses
First off, this review comes with a warning: This place is like an amusement/candy/crack store if you've got an addiction to home decorating and/or furniture. Fortunately, I don't. But....I do like decent deals and if you're anything like me,…More »
10. Matt Phillips - State Farm Insurance Agent
We've been using Matt Phillips for all of our insurance needs (e.g., auto, renters, personal items) since we moved out here a little over a year ago. I must say that he's a very personable and very detailed oriented individual when you want something…More »
11. Time Warner Cable
Chapel Hill, NC 27517
(919) 968-4958
Categories:
Internet Service Providers,
Television Service Providers
I only wished Yelp would give us the option of ZERO stars for businesses like Time Warner Cable (TWC) - if there ever was a poster child for zero star reviews, it would be TWC.
TWC is like one of those dreaded horror flick super zombies where the…More »

Recently updated lists from Dan C.
I can haz internetz? (Free Wifi in the Triangle) (28)I'm cheap. There I said it. So I like to support businesses that let me dine, drink, shop, etc...also while letting me do my surfing. Preferably non-chain and local, but I've been known to show up in a few of the big corporations' brick & mortar joints to check-in. Here are some places in the Triangle that'll cater to your internet wet dreamz and check-in fantazeees.... |
Repeat Offenders (3)As quoted in Raising Arizona, "They've got a name for people like you....That name is called 'recidivism.'" It's good to give people a second chance for redemption. However, some businesses just don't get it. Here's a list of Triangle businesses that just don't make the grade after subsequent visits/dealings. |
Where's Dan? (Lunch eats in & around RTP/Durham/CH) (26)I liken this list to a "Where's Waldo?" game, except....I'm Waldo. You might find me here....then again, you might not! I'm harder to spot b/c I'm not wearing that striped shirt with a cap. Good luck! |
Twice is Nice... (4)Everyone deserves a second chance at redemption, right? Here are some Triangle businesses that didn't quite jive with me the first visit, but later proved me wrong. It's like Lazarus...but everyone's still alive. No worries, no businesses were hurt in this list. |
You say Szechuan, I say Sichuan...Szechwan. All hail the pepper! (3)If you like spicy, these places cater to the chili-loving southwestern Chinese province with that iconic Szechuan/Sichuan/Szechwan peppercorn! |
What happens in Vegas.... (13)Living la vida local for 4 years in Las Vegas - these are the places I loved and still miss. |
Dog days....in the Triangle (11)The good, the bad and the ruff - all things dog related I've found in the Triangle so far (dog parks, vets, shops, etc.). |
Puttin' on the frites: poutine, chips/tots/fries with sauce (8)My weird passion for all things frites in the Triangle. I prefer poutine, but cheese fries/tots or even chili-cheese fries will do...Just remember (sung to "Puttin' on the Ritz"): When you're blue and you don't know where to go to, Why don't you go where the potato sits, Puttin' on the frites.... |
Win some, dim sum.... (5)Sometimes it's a draw...or worse. Some local (Triangle) and not so local dim sum places (from all over) b/c I've got to keep the dream alive! |
Ahhhhh......fish & chips or chips & fish? (5)The magic formula: fish, batter, oil and potatoes. Tastings from all over - local (Triangle) and elsewhere of where I satisfy my greasy sea cravings. |
