It's one thing to have a difference of opinion; it's another thing entirely to be so damn insulting about it.

aren't Mike and CD the same person?

FWIW - I would like to bulldoze most of Cary's downtown, along with Cary Town Center. It is just a matter of personal taste and mine is not the same as those that hate new and love old. It doesn't bother me that people don't like new architecture or that they prefer to live in a town other than Cary. All that matters to me is what "I" like. I am the one that needs to be happy with where I live and I would have assumed the same for others, but that doesn't seem to be the case. We are talking vibe, beauty, architecture and layout here, not about insulting anyone who lives ITB. It is just a discussion about what the area contains and if we like it or not. Some like it and some don't. I fall into the later. It's no big deal.

We will stop at shopping if anything looks good and appears to be safe. It looks like we need to be on Glenwood, just north of Wade Ave. Is this correct?

The trick to doing Five Points is lay your shotgun up in the window rack on your pickup when driving through. That should keep the locals from giving you a hard time...most of the time anyway

Seriously...it just doesn't get much better than Five Points and surrounding area. I almost wish we had bought into that market sometime back when the gettin' was good
