[willrusso]

Here are some photos of N. Raleigh -- an area well known for its out of control sprawl. I took these back in December. Enjoy.

We'll start with my apartment complex. Yes, I live in suburbia LOL.





Capital Boulevard.. Wake County's planning disaster.










OH MY F**KING GOD!!
These cookie cutters are cutting my eyeballs. Subdivision off Buffaloe Rd.




High voltage cancer houses LOL.








Around Wakefield Plantation...

Living in the "Hills" of Raleigh



What's with this cell phone tower imitating a pine tree. I didn't know loblolly pines could grow to 150 feet tall. LOL









Some neighborhoods off Glenwood Avenue and Creedmoor Road.

Cutters Cutting




Raleigh is surprisingly hilly.

Descending into the Crabtree Valley. The mall sits at the bottom.. .and they wonder why it floods.

nice pics, now I REALLY know what cookie cutters look like. Imagine giving somone directions, "my house is the red brick one" or " my house is the white vinyl one".

yeah, looks awful, but give it a few years... I laugh at how I hated bedford, thought it was barren-looking, now that the trees have begun to fill in it is pretty. I hope the people in these homes figure out how important mature plantings can be.

Great pictures. I actually like the cellphone tower, but I'm sure it looks cheesey up close. Some cell sites are hidden away in church steeples.

WE have the same cell phone towers in CA, they are palm trees though

Thanks for the pics. Is this the normal traffic pattern? I note the pics were taken in December which might make for increased traffic.
