Everyone has been so concerned with how growth has affected the school system (and, rightfully so) that we seemed to have overlooked another group.  Those that aren't quite in school yet.  Daycares and pre-schools are overflowing and more are needed - NOW!  Remember when you use to sleep out in front of a concert venue to get in first or stand in line at the bookstore in the wee hours of the morning to get the latest Harry Potter?  Well, join the long list of parents that are going to drastic measure to be sure that their children get into a daycare/preschool. Growth Puts Squeeze on Wake County Preschools...... If you would like more information on Wake County Public Schools please let me know and I will be happy to provide internet links and/or phone numbers for local resources. Thanks...

Imagine you are living in Wake Forest, NC and you want to go out to eat. Well, you do not have to think where to go in Raleigh any more. Wake Forest is growing by leaps and bounds and that is not day care is it Restaurants. Yes, finally you can look forward to just going a few miles into Wake Forest for the best Burgers. Yes, Red Robin has showed up in Wake Forest and the service is awesome. Tonight was really for the children. The reason for this, none other than Mr Red Robin was out visiting all the children from table to table. The children everywhere were watching from table to table getting the high five as Red Robin strolled by. It really was a treat to watch. Even the one year olds were watching.                                                                        So the next t...

This hot off the presses from The Daily Tarheel!  Raleigh already was a "Cool City" and now Wake Forest has also been added to the list!  As a resident of Wake Forest I will say that the Urban Forestry Advisory Board has done a fantastic job as well as the Greenways Advisory Board!  Kudos to Wake Forest!  My little "green city......"Cool Cites" Pledge To Reduce Emissions....

For those of you not familiar with Wake Forest let me give you my view point. It is a wonderful "small" town that is quickly being consumed from the ever-expanding Raleigh. There is a wonderful historic downtown area and the birthplace of Wake Forest University is here. I can't tell you the number of times that I have run into people (out-of-towners) looking for directions to get to the University. The reply is always an abridged version of how Wake Forest University was originally Wake Forest college and was founded in 1834. In 1956 the college was relocated to Winston-Salem and thus became Wake Forest University. Anyhow, Wake Forest retains much of it's charm and has many historic residences and buildings. Sadly, as with any small town progression, little by little the historic charm ...

It has been storming and raining in Wake Forest this morning 8/17/2007. We have had severe heat in the 100's going on 2 weeks. Outside of selling real estate in the Raleigh area I enjoy my animals Friday, Cash, Mama Cazz, Georgie, Little Man and Maple.  It has been so dry my 2 horses Little Man and Maple have not had any green grass to graze on for a few weeks. I have them so spoiled with yummy green grass that they won't even think about eating hay. So the past few weeks I have been walking my horses. I put the halter and lead ropes on and take them for a walk to my neighbors house. My neighbor has bright green grass and my horses love it. I walk them for an hour in the early morning and an hour in the late afternoon. My neighbors drive by and some laugh and most are curious as to why ...
