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.

I've always heard Central Area not Containment Area.... not that it's a big deal one way or the other.

LOL!!!! Yes. My high school boyfriend (who was a truly sweet guy) was from Cary and sort of fit that description (born/spent his early years in Indiana). (We met at NC Governor's School and had a long-distance "romance." Ah, high school.)
