Of course it is! Makes life so much more interesting!

You're welcome. We're very impressed with Wendell

We love collaborating with Chuck! Great guy and so knowledgeable on our area! And Wendell Falls is awesome!

Where is that one?

@@ThisisRaleigh Its on the eastern coast of North Carolina.

No only Bond Lake. The rest is Hillsborough ST Raleigh

a fun place!! Love how unique it is

I can only imagine!! If only I had the skills of Katniss!!

Glad you enjoyed the talk. And glad you enjoyed your visit to Raleigh last week. Let us know if we can help with anything when you move, including real estate: [email protected]

what kinda event/audience was this?

@@a55tech for 300 lottery delegates from around the USA.

Thanks Todd. We could have talked for 5 hours, ha ha. Hope it was helpful, we've seen and done a lot. All the best with any of your endeavors!

You're trippin hard. I have shadys and raybans and I genuinely prefer the SR, they're more durable, more lightweight, the tint is darker and the polarization is stronger. They're genuinely better, all around and only cost $60 which is literally not expensive at all for good glasses.

@@fatmexicanjesus5645 maybe I'm just too cheap. I can get pretty good glasses from the store for less, it's weird to see them advertised as affordable when they are closer to typical prescription glasses than sunglasses.

thank you for the tip!! We'll check it out. Don;t know of it

THOUSANDS would disagree with you that Apex is not a good place to live, and regularly ranks as one of the best towns in NC.

LOLOLLOLOL. you really do not know what goes on around here do you? @@ThisisRaleigh

@@lindaeverett8848 Sorry. What have we missed? 20 years in the area, thousands of people with the same perspective as ours, but we should listen to you?

@@ThisisRaleighThe recent surge in crime, including shootings and murders, is deeply concerning, especially with the influx of newcomers to North Carolina. In my 25 years of residency, I've never witnessed such levels of violence until now. The heavy traffic has worsened, making simple commutes, like the five-minute drive to Beaver Creek, now take up to 30 minutes due to congestion. Additionally, the cost of living has skyrocketed, with homes that were once $200k now reaching $900k to $1 million. North Carolina's education rankings vary depending on the specific metrics and studies used. Generally, it falls within the range of 30th to 40th place among U.S. states in terms of overall education quality. This shift feels far from the peak of good living; rather, it's more like the peak of destruction.

@@lindaeverett8848 well the cost of living and increased traffic, and increase in population growth, is rampant in many cities and towns, not only in America but in many countries around the world. I've lived in 5 countries and visited over 50, and Apex is far from alone. When places are constantly on "best places to live" lists that amplifies the situation, and unfortunately growth comes with lots of growing pains. I can't speak to the education metrics and schools, but obviously they are under-resourced and underfunded as well.

party platter

totally!

so yummy!

Yes

Oakwood Ave in Historic Oakwood Raleigh

@@ThisisRaleigh Thank you! 😊

it's pretty awesome and we only captured a bit of it. Will get more thisnweek!

They taste great too!

yeah, nah it's hand cream

what does this mean?

That can be true for most cities and towns. We personally like to be able to walk or bike to things, others prefer to live a short drive more out in the suburbs so to speak.

Such a fabulous place to relax I'm sad we haven't been this year

It has a special place in our hearts for sure!

Thank you so much Judy! We appreciate your kind words. Zebulon, Knightdale and Wendell are on our list!! And yes, I think we'll wait for the Downtown Cary park to be finished. Can't wait to see it all done!

Sp glad you had a great time. We couldn't believe it took us years to discover it too!!

Oh please, this is a KZfaq video and we speak how we speak, not an English major class!
