Shopping heaven!
For food that is. When we first moved here to North Carolina, one of the drawbacks we knew of right away was that there are no Trader Joe's in the area. In fact, the closest one is in Newport News, Virginia, about five hours drive from here. We had heard rumblings that there was a TJ's coming to Cary, one of the suberbs of Raleigh, but TJ's wouldn't confirm it... until now. There is no opening date, but the location they are moving to has been under construction for several months. Maybe that means Trader Joe's will be open within six more. That'd be nice. At any rate, we can't wait!
Now if only Costco would get on it. If you can believe it, there are nearly two million people that live in the Triangle area, and there's only one Costco, more than an hour from here! Yes, yes, they are opening a second one this month (more than six months late) that is only 45 minutes from here, but still. Vegas has four Costcos with another on the way and they have the same population, only it's not nearly as spread out as here. What's a well trained consumer to do?
