Yes it is pretty nice. It is on Six Forks Rd. just off 440. One exit past Crabtree Valley Mall exit. North Hills is really pretty right now. It used to be an old run down mall. JC Penny is still there but othing else. Just all new shops where you can walk from store to store on the sidewalk. It's no longer an indoor mall. I love to go sit ouside starbucks there. There is some nice boutique shops there. You'll be in Apex right? Well just get on 440 towards Raleigh and get off at the 2nd Six Forks exit. The first one takes you away from the Center. Did I email you all the links to differnt shopping area? If not email me and I will send you that. Take Care

A couple other places you may want to check out are the Cotton Company in Wake forest, just a few miles north of Raleigh. It's a converted mill in old downtown Wake Forest with a lot of handmade and very unusual, but typical North Carolina crafts. There are some great places to eat in town as well as the deli upstairs. Triangle Towne Center is a new Mall in North Raleigh on the way up to Wake Forest that when completed is suppose to be one of the largest on the East coast. It has indoor and outdoor shopping. And don't forget Artspace in downtown Raleigh. It has a lot of unique shops and places to eat as well. I do like what they have done to North Hills Mall too, it has really improved signifigantly with a lot of real 'upscale' shops. No matter where you go, I'm sure you will have fun.
