definitely didn't think i'd like it at first, but it really has a southern charm and most of the people here really have deep roots in the south and are entrepreneurs from the area

People judge Cary by all the out of town assholes who move there and claim to represent cary

it's actually not a bad place once you spend some time there

and the town govt has their shit together

my family was one of the first to settle in cary

true story

there is even a road named after us

10/20/2009 11:30:48 PM

which road would that be

fun fact: evans rd. was named after me

10/20/2009 11:31:59 PM

Sorrell St.

(and there is no relation with us and the people who ran Sorrell's paint store)

Cary was great 20 years ago.
Apex was great 10 (ish) years ago.
Fuck both those shitty ass town cities.
Piss poor infrastructure, unable to handle the influx, they're fucked.


It reminds me of the treehouse I had as a kid.
There was a time when it was awesome.
As the years passed it was upgraded and enhanced in many ways,
but eventually it wore out.
The floors became soft
The ladder became shaky
The Playboy pictures nailed to the walls faded and tore
And the only thing left to do was to light it on fire, hide in the nearby woods, and wait for the RMFD to show up.

k?

due me a favor and steal me the road sign

it's been on the to-do list for 23 years now

10/20/2009 11:35:25 PM

I spent my teenage years in Cary, and my parents still live there

I absolutely abominate the place

10/20/2009 11:36:23 PM

i'll see what i can do.

10/20/2009 11:36:32 PM

No lie..........I looked at a little cinder block shithole on Sorrell St.
As we left we sang "SOREELLLL SORRELLLL, SORRELLL SORRELLL" to the tune of that NOELLLL song.

10/20/2009 11:37:11 PM

ahaha nice

yeah, all the houses on sorrell st. are shitholes

10/20/2009 11:37:44 PM

haha

too bad that isn't our preferred pronunciation

10/20/2009 11:37:51 PM

You pronounce it Sore Uhl don't you?

10/20/2009 11:38:39 PM

what is your preferred pronounciation?

i've always said (and heard it said) like it rhymes with moral

10/20/2009 11:38:53 PM

yep yep

10/20/2009 11:38:54 PM

Out of the many places in wake co to live, you can do a lot worse than cary

its really not that bad

10/20/2009 11:39:20 PM

plus, cary EMS/cary fire are completely awesome.

10/20/2009 11:40:01 PM

it's just so quintessentially yuppie-suburbia
and it SUCKS to drive through

10/20/2009 11:40:33 PM

it's really not that bad to drive if you know what areas/roads to avoid at what times

it also helps to know the smaller roads, as it seems like everyone who doesn't know cary very well just goes around maynard until they figure out where they're going

10/20/2009 11:42:24 PM

10/21/2009 12:14:30 AM

I dont see any reason to hate cary
although they are destroying it at a fast pace
all the corners where there used to be trees is quickly becoming the same old shopping centers with same old crap
the sad thing is once its destroyed it never comes back

10/21/2009 12:20:24 AM

10/21/2009 12:22:23 AM

it has its moments

10/21/2009 1:23:03 AM

I like Cary. I'd rather be there than here, certainly.

10/21/2009 1:35:55 AM

I dislike Cary. The best way of putting it would be that it offends my sensibilities (as much sense as that statement does or does not make).

you got a link to confirm? otherwise my last name is Walnut, or Kildaire whichever you prefer

JK but really that's cool i always like to read about history from this area so def post a link if you can find one.

My teacher's assistant in 2nd grade was a Page, the family that basically founded Cary. I remember our field trip to the Page Walker Hotel. We couldn't figure out why she had to work when her family founded Cary...

I like living in Cary a lot. I live near downtown and can walk down the street to the soda fountain at Ashworth's, Serendipity cafe, and Harrisons (or Pure Gold). I could get anything I need within a 5 minute bike ride.

10/21/2009 2:55:21 AM

Cary strikes me as a little generic, but not outright bad by any means. When I lived in Sumter Square apartments I found it easy to do a lot of shopping or eating out both in Raleigh or Cary, especially at Crossroads.

10/21/2009 2:58:49 AM

.I was born and raised in Cary. My mother was also raised there and taught at Cary High. Her Father went to Cary High School although he was raised outside of cary technically (the town limits didnt reach his farm but it was the closest town). His father attended cary high school. His father was the first superintendent of the Cary school system before it was ever incorporated into wake county.

That is five generations that went to cary high school because it was the closest school even if they didnt all live in the town limits due the the size of cary.

Then a bunch of people moved here. I appreciate this in one way but it is really annoying when I tell people that I am from Cary and they ask "where are you from originallly?" fuckers. right here!

But in general, I really like Cary. I dont live there now but I am within a two minute walk of the town limits. (live of jones franklin behind crossroads.)

I liked Cary. You know, back when they actually had trees.

10/21/2009 6:47:31 AM

I grew up there, went to school there, my parents and sister still live, there I like it. People down on it pretty bad but there is nothing wrong with it. Yeah there are ore strip mall than there used to be but that can be said of just about anyplace around here. There are some stuck up people but that can also be said for anywhere. I used to think that the town govt and police where fucked but now that I have grown up I can see they work fairly well. Live in Apex now, really see no problem with them either...

10/21/2009 6:56:23 AM

I love living in Cary. We live in an older neighborhood (with lots of trees), our neighbors are awesome. I can walk or bike just about anywhere I would want to go.

There are definitely areas and roads that I avoid (ie: Crossroads), and there are some things about Cary that I don't understand. Overall, it's a nice place to live.

P.S. Did you know that Cary was getting a Bojangles?

10/21/2009 7:49:03 AM

my name is Cary, Cary T. Center

10/21/2009 7:56:20 AM

Cary haters, come to durham, it is the anti-cary.

10/21/2009 8:01:50 AM

haha^ I work in Durham, maybe that's why I appreciate living in Cary. That and I come from a really small town.

I do hate the drive home every evening, though.

10/21/2009 8:11:26 AM

I've always said that if I could pick the place for God's next sinkhole, it would be under the town of Cary.
