LOL. Some of us (yes, we = old) can remember when Cary was a small rural town some miles outside Raleigh. Over the last 30 years or so, it has exploded and now abuts Raleigh. In 1950 (no I'm not
that old), there were 1K+ residents; in 1960, 3K+; in 1970, 7K+; in 2000, 94K+; in 2007, 125K+. It's now the seventh (I think) largest town in NC.
Much of the growth has been due to people moving from . . . elsewhere . . . because of Research Triangle Park. Hence, the epithet that Old Raleigh folk have given the town.
But don't worry -- I'll look out for my TAR partner.
