Everyone joined Santa and me in singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer before the tree was lit. After the song, Santa threw a handful of magic dust at the Christmas tree, most of which landed on the band’s keyboard, and the tree was lit.
Cary, NC — This week consisted mostly of presentations and the interviewing of town manager candidates.
Cary was recognized twice this week by publications. WallStreet.com named Cary as the #6 best city to live in America, and Triangle Business Journal recognized Cary as the smartest city in the state.
Tuesday, the council met in closed session to review the information about candidates for the town manager position. After two hours of discussion and review, the town council decided to conduct initial interviews with six candidates.
I received several insulting emails from an individual who believes that the council is involved in about every conspiracy known to man. Comes with the territory, I guess.
This trail is one of the few locations in Wake and Chatham Counties along the 22-mile ATT that offers potable water and restroom facilities. As a runner, I can tell you water and restrooms are a big deal after a nice, long run.

T&T, Google and Time Warner (and a couple other smaller companies) are working hard to connect the region to gigabyte speed internet. Google alone has over 60 crews working in Cary.
We approved a lease for a café in the concession space at the Cary Theater. This required $15,000 of improvements using budgeted funds earmarked for downtown.
Thursday morning, I attended the Cary Chamber’s candidate forum. It was nice being unopposed and being able to watch and listen to the candidates.
