Tour Cary, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh by Eating

This morning I was researching unique things to do when my mother in-law visits next weekend. I wanted to find a unique way for her to experience the Triangle area. This is when I came across Triangle Food Tours, the Triangle's original Walking Food Tour. Tours provide guests the opportunity to "discover the cultural and historical perspective of downtown Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Cary only an insider would know." Each tour is a guided tour that allows guests to sample different cuisines offered at different restaurants while receiving unique knowledge of the area.
Raleigh features two different guides tours. One for those interested in the international flare, Downtown Raleigh’s District Dining via the R-Line, and the other tour being the Comfort Food Edition which takes a look at Raleigh's past and older established restaurants.
Cary's tour focuses on the heritage and diverse culinary landscape in downtown Cary. Stops along the tour vary from an original soda fountain to Eastern European cuisine.
Other available tours are the Chapel Hill/Carrboro tour and Downtown Durham. Each providing guests with a unique inside of the towns with sample tastings and fun interactions with chef's.
As someone who likes to explore I took the opportunity to view a few videos of the tours and have already signed up for Cary's tour next weekend. It looks to be a fun way to explore my city, meet some people, and enjoy enjoy some hidden gems often overlooked.
If you attend any of these tours I'd love to hear your feedback.

Success for Parade of Homes Entries In Cary, NC

Impact Properties Group- Parade of Homes Success

Having spent the final weekend of the 2010 Parade of Homes on site in three of the four communities that Impact has Highcroft Village, Southlakes, and Weycroft I would say that they had a very successful parade. In the first two weekends of the parade both of the Weycroft, 2010 Community of Year, parade homes sold. I personally hosted the Homes by Dickerson parade home and was impressed with the detail throughout the home. The molding and the different ceiling styles stood out to curious parade vistors and left them appreciating the custom builder's work. With these two sales Weycroft has sold 34 in 2010 and has 18 available Pre sale lots remaining with 11 custom builders to choose from. Offering an unparelled location just one mile from 540 and five minutes from RTP Weycroft is creating a diverse streetscape of homes(3000-5000+ sq. ft.)

Impact's Southlake community in Fuquay-Varina displayed four different homes in this year's parade and had two Pre sale homes put under contract. The 2009 Master Planned Community of the Year is where you will find five lakes and 129 acres of greenways and open space, recreation center with a junior Olympic pool, and much more. Parade vistors were impressed by the different options available, Ranch, 2 story, 1.5 story for Pre sales as well as the granite kitchens and exterior storage.

If you are looking for new construction in Wake County look at the Impact Property Group Communities. They each feature great location, great schools, amentities and features that make these neighborhoods the most award-winning communities in North Carolina.
