Story by Matt Young. Photo from Wikipedia. Cary, NC – Coyotes have been spotted in Cary. Some suspect that the drought may have created a newly available food source in the Glenaire section near Dorothy Drive and Union Street (Map of the Area). There was an abundance of rodents in the area during the last […]
Right now, at this very minute, you can observe what’s happening in an eagle nest on Jordan Lake. In fact, you could help with the study of eagles by watching.
Good news – the NC Triangle is positioned better than most local economies to recover with its well educated, highly skilled population.
Cary, NC – Tuesday we stopped by Town Hall to talk to Mike Bajorek, Cary’s Assistant Town Manager since July, 2009. Prior to become Assistant Town Manager, Bajorek was Cary Public Works Director.
Cary, NC – “You got to talk to Sheila Ogle.” I was given that advice a half dozen times. Finally we contacted her to see if we could spend a little time with her. The discussion never had an awkward pause. This folks, is a high energy woman. She seems to know everyone. She is an entrepreneur in the true sense of the word – starting businesses and other ventures in areas in which maybe she wasn’t formally trained, but knew there was a need.

Cary, NC – We often talk about the advantages of living in Cary from a geographic point of view. Here in the piedmont, we have the ocean just to the right, mountains just to the left.

Morrisville, North Carolina – Here in Cary, we are fortunate to have a good neighbor in the Town of Morrisville. The folks of Morrisville are fortunate to have a Mayor who is “in it” for the good of the town she loves.
We were greeted warmly by Mayor Holcombe’ in Morrisville’s beautiful Council Chambers on Thursday of last week.
We drove up to a neatly trimmed golf course cul-de-sac where every modest house had a American flag hanging from it, in the exact same spot, next to the garage. I was early and waiting next to the car with Hal Goodtree, the publisher of the CC. Out of an open garage came Koka Booth waving us in. We shook hands and he told us with a wink that we needed to get in the house quickly because “Blanche will fuss at me for letting you in the garage”.
I can’t say I’ve ever been convinced that a politician was simply in politics to do the “right thing” until I met Mayor Weinbrecht. When talking with him, his sincerity is obvious: he just wants Cary to thrive.
