- 01/18/11 01:53 AM
Does this winter weather seem extreme in all parts of the country lately? From floods and rain in the West to Christmas blizzards in New York City to ice storms in the South, we're seeing it all this year. Sunday was finally a nice day here in the Peak of Good Living of Apex North Carolina, so we took the opportunity to take a family walk with the dog to our favorite neighborhood park- Crowder Park off TenTen Rd.
Lo and behold, there was ice on the pond!! 5 days after our big ice storm, parts of the pond … (3 comments)
nc: North Carolina and the Dreaded "Wintry Mix"
- 12/16/10 05:08 AM
Well, here we are again in the frozen tundra of Apex North Carolina! Many of us former Northerners have been complaining all week about the cold weather that we thought we had escaped.
For the last few days the "weather people" have been predicting a "wintry mix" for today. Meaning it could snow, sleet, rain, or hail. They've covered all the bases by calling it a wintry mix. As usual, whenever something like this is predicted, everyone runs to the store to stock up on milk, bread, and eggs, like we're not going to see civilization again for months. … (5 comments)

The community surrounding Crowder Park in Apex North Carolina loves it's park, especially in Spring.

Located at 4709 TenTen Rd, near the intersection of Holly Springs Rd, Crowder Park was opened in 1998 with land donated by Mrs. Doris Crowder and funds from Wake County.

nc: ABC's of Fine Wine in Apex, NC - Local Wine Tasting Event
- 09/07/08 07:50 AM
We recently received a postcard in the mail for the grand opening of a new wine store in Apex, The Apex Beverage Company. Yes, direct mail postcards apparently do work! Having recently been to the central California area of wine country, my husband and I thought we'd stop in and check out a wine tasting in our own town this weekend. Although the Apex Beverage Company has been open since July, they held off on holding the grand opening tasting weekend until they felt ready. My opinion..... they were ready! The owners, Jake & Eric, were both very knowledgeable and friendly. Eric poured us … (0 comments)

The statistics are out for the month of July for the Triangle area of North Carolina. And in almost all areas, sales are down a bit from the increases we had seen in the months of May & June, quelling any hopes for a summer surge, as we had seen in previous years.
Sales were down slightly with 1316 homes sold as compared to June, when 1484 homes sold. However, June of 2007 saw 2279 homes sold.
Sellers can expect to see their homes sit on the market a little longer now at 84 days as an average … (0 comments)
