Set on the NC…read moreState University campus, this is a hidden gem for book lovers and those who love Swedish design. It is massive and as soon as I walked in I felt right at home. I stumbled on this while looking for things to do in the area while attending a book signing. Being a book lover and author, this was an obvious choice. My friend and I explored the first two floors (we were pressed for time) and were in awe. I wish Charleston had something like this because I would be here every single day working on my next manuscript. There were several rooms, desks, and seating areas for readers and students alike to choose from. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light that offsets the bright interior lights. They have a wide collection of titles and studies! Highly recommend that you check it out. Just remember to be quiet and respectful as students may be present working on their projects.

On the other hand, my son complained about the slow public wi-fi, which is a pretty big negative when you're studying using your laptop. He said it took 10 minutes just to get connected to the wi-fi. But for that, this seems like a nice spot to study if you've got a personal hotspot (or access otherwise to faster Internet). Hopefully, there is faster wi-fi for NC State students.

The Raleigh Police Memorial was established in 2009 to keep the memory of alive of the men and…read morewomen who made the ultimate sacrifice serving Raleigh. The memorial currently honors eight individuals who died in the line of service. The officers showed a commitment to duty, honor, service and safety for those who live and work in Raleigh. The memorial is in Downtown Raleigh at the Raleigh Municipal Building near Nash Square. The memorial has a water feature and 21 pillars that represents the community from which the water flows. At sunset, the water table reflects the sky and illuminates the names in blue. I've not seen the memorial at night but will make sure I stop when I am in Downtown Raleigh at night to pay tribute to these officers.

Lots of parking and plenty of space for recreation. There are horseshoe pits, a basketball court, tennis court and a large well cared-for lighted baseball field. They do have a permanent structure with bathrooms. The fenced-in sand-based playground was in good shape, too. Several benches in the shade for parents to sit and watch.

I stopped by this park again today to get some good pictures…read more My kids have played here a couple times so we are familiar. It looks like they have updated some of the equipment, which is nice. The location is kind of hidden, its in a residential area, tucked away. They have a basketball court, baseball fields and play equipment including swings. The landscaping is not a neat as the other nearby parks, so its hard to give more than 3 stars. The city does host a 4th of July festival here every year as it has lots of space. Overall, its a cute little park that never gets very busy.

The City of Raleigh Museum has become a great museum. I was looking through my previous pictures…read moreand just seeing how it has transformed over the years. Some exhibits are temporary but it feels all connected now. Admission is free but they do ask for a $5 donation. With COVID the interactive exhibits are closed. There is a guide book you can get at the front desk. There is plenty to read without the interactive aspects. The museum is doing a great job with COVID procedures. There is hand sanitizer when you enter. They do take your name and temperature and ask the routine questions about feeling ill and if you have traveled in the past two weeks. They even have masks if you forgot yours as they are required. Currently, the exhibits are the City of Raleigh history over 200 years; Dwane Powell's political cartoons; Women of Change (about the 19th Amendment); Dorothea Dix history of the hospital and it becoming a park; and another about Raleigh musicians. I was lucky enough to meet Dwane Powell on an earlier visit to the museum in 2018 so glad they have kept his work on display after his passing. The tributes added my other comics was a nice touch. I highly recommend visiting this gem of a museum.

From my perspective, Cary continues to be a safe, clean, up-and-coming town with a lot of smart people. It seems like a great place to raise a family. I've heard Cary referred to as "Cannot Afford Raleigh Yet" and "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees." Haha. Seriously though, with all the new construction in recent and forthcoming years, I can see the appeal in living here as opposed to Raleigh. Just look at places like Fenton as one example. In this Yelp review, I list my top 10 restaurants in Cary from our time in the Triangle, June 2020 through July 2024: 1. Herons - One of my top two restaurants in the Triangle including Fearrington House. True fine dining for special occasions. https://www.yelp.com/biz/herons-cary-2 2. Szechuan Mansion Hotpot - Best Chinese hot pot in the Triangle. https://www.yelp.com/biz/szechuan-mansion-hotpot-cary 3.

Lots of shopping opportunities and many places to eat. Also I have seen traffic is not bad for where I've been and the roads are in great shape. It is not a huge city it kinda feels like a large town. There are no high rise buildings like you see in the large city's. To me this city can grow on you if you stick around long enough. I'll just have to update each time I'm here, and pick out different parts that I see. Like at the intersection of US 70 and NC 111 they have Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Well not right on the corner, but while driving down US 70 you can see jets flying around. Last time I was down our oldest granddaughter was just fascinated with flying around. I had to stop at shopping center and park so she could watch them. Now that is some free entertainment, but you can't count on it every time though. Oh I almost forgot 2 of the best BBQ joints are there too, McCall's and Wilber's. So until my next visit.
