Hello Everyone. I am coming down in a few weeks to scope out the area again. I will be moving there shortly from Long Island. I will have my car for my next visit and plan on checking out Cary + Apex mostly. I hsve only been there once and loved what little of it I saw. I will have 4 days to just drive around at my own pace and really take it all in. Can anyone reccomend any "must see" parts of apex or Cary. I know vet little about the area so all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for anything you might think is interesting (street names, Shopping centers, Districts, Downtowns) It is hard to explore an area by car that you are not familiar with without missing something. Thanks in advance.
Cary has a small downtown area, but it is worth the time to stop and actually get out and walk around! Blue Moon bakery is quite tasty and there are some other places to eat and shops to walk around and look at. Bond park in cary is off of cary parkway, and it is quite a nice park, good walking trails and a nice area.
Cary towne center mall isn't anything to write home about, but southpointe in durham and triangle town center in north raleigh are much more updated malls and are good for shopping!
For me, I would suggest going to the museum of art on blue ridge road in raleigh, walking around 9th street in durham and walking through duke gardens and the university there as well.........
just to name a few. I never really went to downtown apex when I lived there, so I don't know what it is like now!
Honestly, I can't think of anything in Cary as a possible "must see". There are a lot of nice places, but it is a very young town with out much that would be considered a "must see". Not that I know everything about Cary, but that's because there was never really much to know when I was growing up in this area. My family moved to the Triangle in 1982, and I think the population of Cary was about 4,000, and Apex was probably smaller.
There is a small downtown area, but everything else is very new, and you can find it just about anywhere. For "must sees", try some of the more historic places in the Triangle. www.visitnc.com for more suggestions
Thanks everyone. I guess I'm just gonna have to drive around and check out as much as I can. I just don't want to miss anything. It's hard to know where the "main strip" of a town is when you are unfamiliar with the area. Does anyone Know where I can get a good map of the triangle area?

Any of the town's chambers of commerce will have tons of free maps and info on things to do and see. Here's an online link to some info for Cary: http://www.visitraleigh.com/coc/cary.html
