Raleigh, N.C. Saw on their Facebook page that yesterday was the opening day for
Esteamed Coffee in Cary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit coffee shop and cafe that employs people with disabilities. Their mission is to “esteem” the customers and employees, giving them the opportunity to grow their life skills. They are located at 114 S. Academy Street and are open 7:30 am – 3 pm. Monday through Saturday (closed on Sunday). Stop in for a cup of mocha today!

Raleigh, N.C. I saw this over in Durham and am modifying (i.e. stealing) it for the entire Triangle. Please take the Triangle Takeout Pledge! Restaurants need your support more than ever. With temperatures dropping, college students going home, and the number of Covid cases steadily increasing, sales have dropped off significantly for everyone. I am asking for you to pledge to order takeout food from any independent restaurant 1-2 TIMES per week. Or better yet, bundle up, snuggle up and dine in-person, whether inside or out (lots of restaurants have added heated space) – and don’t forget to TIP GENEROUSLY. Additionally, consider giving gift cards to local, independent restaurants as holiday gifts this year. If each of us takes this pledge, really takes this pledge, our favorite restaurants will be here on the other side of this mess. Take the pledge!
