RDU City Rent a Car Center Place — Local services in Raleigh

What a hoot! My husband and I decided to drive down from the mountains to experience this Treasure Hunt I'd been hearing so much about. That's a four-hour drive, each way for us! We arrived about 9:30 am on Friday, since that's when the new stuff is put out each week.

Step 1, before getting in line to wait, was to get a ticket number from the machine set up just to the left of the door. Others were definitely there long before me, since my number was 220.

After waiting around for quite a while waiting, a gentleman came out and arranged us all in a line according to our ticket number. I missed making it in time to be one of the first group let in.

Another wait for people inside to make their selections and leave. As they left additional persons lined up. (I'm guessing this has a lot to do with fire mars as he's occupancy standards.)

The first challenge for me was to find a cart. They were all in use by the first group. So, I waited by the cashier stand for someone to check out so I could take their cart when they were done. (I recommend it as a way to get a cart )

Next:. Figure out the approach. Bins in the middle aisles of the store held boxes, some torn, some not, some items looked good, some not, but all items were $10 each.

Items along the side walls and back of the store are sold at a discount, but less than you find other places.

There was definitely a diverse crowd! Older, younger, black, white, tan, brown, and me, pink from the cold weather. I have to say, that absolutely everyone I interacted with was kind, generous, smiling, informative. We were all just looking for a bargain.

I left with a few new brand name bed pillows, a sweet reborn doll for my granddaughter, a set of unicorn ponies in a stall, a campfire graniteware coffee pot, a food mandolin, A teabag / condiment organizer, a kitchen scales, two new curling irons, a tabletop artists easel and taboret, a nice deep 14" frying pan, an electric foam-cutter set, and much more.

Good products. Good services. Super duper crazy ridiculously high traffic in this parking lot. Everything you probably need is available over here. Need a job? Labor Finders Need some religion? Abba church Need some thrifty nickels, some insurance, or some furniture? It's here Need some money? BB&T, SunTrust, Latino Credit Union, and three ATMs are scattered around. Like foreign cuisine? There's Jamaican food at Lee's Kitchen, Chinese food a little farther down, there's Persian food at Alpaca, you can get fancy hot wings at the wing spot. Pizza? Well, Little Ceasars to the rescue.

Lowes is across the highway with Chick fil A and Ollie's or Home Depot (can't remember which)

Need a room for the night? There's a motel over next to BB&T.

I understand the high traffic,...

Always cool to chill out there. I used to live in a neighborhood right behind this shopping ctr that shares a "Foodlion" as well. Lees kitchen keeps the middle class and lower class blacks associating... Which I think is important. Mind inclination. We as smart ones if considered still can learn from the dumb some how... And in many different ways... We still will be teaches we'll all vaguely think. Even the dumb. No such thing. No dumb person is smarter than me. What we all think...the one's That thinks or knows their smarter idiot. Those ones? Duhh. Even the actual stupid. How is that though? And Not always their consequences either. We can Really get information from the dumb. Educational information from the dumb. How is that? With one way In many...
