Good Things Happening.....

It took about two years to plan The Village at Aversboro.  In the beginning, there was a focus group of about 12 people that met with the developer, builders and realtors.  These people were all in the 55+ age group and were excited about the community coming to Garner.  They discussed what  they would want in the custom built homes being planned for the active adult community.  They said to do away with the whirlpool tub in the master bath....have a large walk in tile shower with a seat.  Another example is a workshop area in the

 garage.  Some plans have two bedrooms and an office which allows for the workshop area.  One couple even came with a typed up list of what they thought would be desirable in the custom built homes.  What I'm trying to get at is that couple has now successfully sold their house in another neighborhood and has signed a contract to have a new home built in The Village.  We're excited to have them and appreciate all the people that had input on the planning to make our community what it is....a Great Place to be!  Thank you!

Fun Discovering the Triangle

On Saturday July 31, 2010 Carole and I went to the Raleigh Wide Open festival. The festival on Fayetteville St. was wonderful. There were  all kinds of  food, 12 Bands, games of all kinds for children. There were
booths selling just about anything that you could imagine. A light rain and low temperature felt so great after all the hot weather we have been having. After  walking a lot we decided to have dinner at Tir Na Nog, which is an Irish restaurant on Blount St.  Fabulous food and drinks. We went back to the festival and just were about to go home

 when we found out at the Progress Energy Center that they were setting up for the
fireworks display for 10:30 PM. Being only 7:30 PM we decided to see what was playing at the Progress Energy Center. We were able to get tickets for Annie which was fabulous. After  the show we came out and they started the fireworks which were fantastic. We were never so close to a fireworks display. They lasted for a half  hour and were spectacular. We arrived home in the Village after midnight and realized that we could not have planned that day to be as wonderful as it was!
