These are near Smithfield and Clayton:

This gorgeous patch is near Clayton:

These orange poppies are maybe near Goldsboro?

Well, the point is it's pretty common to have beautified highways and byways in North Carolina. It's not just a Cary thing.

Actually the original point was that Cary isn't beige. But hey, you win if that's what floats your boat. High five!

MY point, I should have said. I think THE point of this thread is supposed to be about Durham.

I'll steer clear of whether or not Cary is beige, but NC has plenty of beautiful roads all over the state. You oughta get out a little more!

Cary maybe beige but at least you don't have to worry there like Durham people do about getting shot. #winning

Cary has "people." When you talk to people and get their stories and insights on life, you may learn to be less easily bored.

Cary's architecture is boring. Granted. Town appearance and design requirements and mass market conformity by designers and builders are pretty awful.

But, if you find "people" boring, Cary, or any town, just may not be the place for you.

Funny I was driving on Cary Parkway the other day and thinking what a nice road it is, except for the people who park themselves in the left lane and go 10 miles under the speed limit. But no one was on it the other day, so it was nice. I also wondered how long till they take out the lovely large median and make it a 6 lane road!

Oh yeah, the horrible fear of getting shot in Durham. That's got to be why the population has grown over 15% between the 2010 census and estimates taken in 2016, right? #losing

Yes, but I may die from boredom. lol I can't imagine looking at all that beige every day. I'll take my risk in Durham, I've been living in Durham over 40 years and never been robbed or shot. But, I may move to Cary when I retire and just want to live my remaining years relaxing. ;-)
