cary nc: American Tobacco Trail - Converted Railroad Track Trail in Cary North Carolina
- 01/28/10 08:11 AM
What is the American Tobacco Trail? It's 22 miles of trails running from Cary to Durham - the trails are built over an old abandoned rail road track that dates back to the early 1900's. The American Tobacco Trail's almost perfectly flat - which makes sense when you think of it being where a railroad track used to be - along the trail you will find yourself in tunnels, under highways & on bridges.

cary nc: Dear CaryRealEstate.com, Why Doesn't The Town of Cary have any Public Schools?
- 09/25/09 06:17 AM
What? No Public Schools in Cary? Of course there are public schools in Cary, in fact some of the best public schools in North Carolina are in Cary. So what gives? Here's the thing . . Cary is a town located in Wake County and all of the public schools are operated by Wake County. There's no such thing as a 'Town of Cary' school. Instead they are wake county managed schools located in Cary. The same applies across the county, meaning there are no 'Raleigh' schools etc. Yes it's a technicality but many people that relocate to Cary have heard … (1 comments)

Cary has the nicest parks in the area, the highest average income and more advanced degrees than other municipalities in the county, so it only makes sense it would have the highest property tax rate in Wake county, Right?
