Re: *nursecheryl*

  • Well where should I start? :) Are you going to ever come visit her? I would love to meet you if so. Stick out tongue

    We live in the Southpoint mall area (Southwest Durham). We actually really like it here because its a good central location.  I wouldn't suggest North and East Durham) It can be a little ghetto-ish there. Durham is a huge town and has some really nice areas and some not so nice. About 10 or so minutes from RTP (Research Triangle Park). Southpoint mall is a huge really nice mall with in and outdoor shopping and restaurants. There are also several other shopping centers close.

    Cary and Apex are also great areas. A little more expensive area and good schools. Depending on the area and traffic about 10 or so minutes to RTP.

    Raleigh/ Wake forest areas are also nice but depending where you work may be facing lots of traffic. You also get more for your money housing wise.

    Chapel Hill/Hillsborough/ Carrboro area is also nice. More expensive area and great schools. About 20-30 minutes from RTP.

    Where are they going to be working? In RTP (Research Triangle Park)? Chapel Hill? Raleigh?

     Feel free to give her my email address I would be happy to answer any questions. My email:  cheryl@schembariweb.com

  • We are about 3 hours apart, maybe a few minutes more.  I'm right by Virginia Tech.

     I know I'll head to Charlotte before too long for an Ikea trip, but that's not really that close. 


    We could always meet halfway, like Martinsville/Danville, Va and eat.  And Mrs. Jaay can come-she's the same distance from there that I am, if not closer!
