City: Cary
Location: Off of Cary Parkway & Old Weatherstone
I know this neighborhood all to well. I mentioned earlier this year that I moved to this beautiful neighborhood in my post Tracy Santrock's Moved On & Checking In w/Activerain. My family has loved every minute of our transition to the new neighborhood (ok, except unpacking the boxes).
I was a little concerned about being one of the last families to move to the neighborhood. To the contrary I've met so many of the neighbors and their children and everyone has been just spectacular. It's so nice to be a part of a community that has that warm, inviting appeal where everyone knows everyone's name. Since I've finally finished unpacking all of the boxes I thought it is time for me to write about the neighborhood.

Key Neighborhood Highlights:
Glenkirk Club House & Swimming Pool
I'm lucky to live across from the Glenkirk Club House where there is plenty to do. We have a group of girls that gets together for Pokino. Other amenities include a pool with a childrens' play area, children's playground, picnic area, and a Basketball court too!
Preston Walk Shopping Center
Just around the corner from the neighborhood and a 10 minute walk is Preston Walk Shopping Center - Some of my favorite restaurants in town including Panera Bread, Stonewood, Biaggis, and Henrys Gelato. La Therapie Day Spa and Inside Out Sports and more....
Preston Corners Shopping Center
Just about all of the banks have a branch at Preston Corners. Other notable highlights include Fedora, Suncom, Preston Flowers, Lowes Grocery, a Mexican restaurant, coffee shop, and others. Across the street is La Farm Bakery, one of my personal favorites.

Tracey...
BB and I moved in December and I still haven't unpacked most of the boxes. Perhaps if we had moved to a better Community, such as the one you're in, we wouldn't be thinking about moving again :) We accidentally moved next door to the Gladys of the hood. Did I really just say that out loud? :)
TLW...ROAR!
