“Bloated US security laws aside, whoever runs TSA at RDU is the most competent admin of this org I’ve ever encountered. The precheck line this morning went outside of the entire waiting area, fully doubled back into two lines. Certainly, I thought, I’d miss the flight that had started boarding when I parked my car. But no - I was through security in 12 minutes and would’ve been through in 8 if I’d gotten a better lane. When I’m traveling through authoritarian states like New Jersey, I can spend 40 minutes in security on a good day, but never at RDU - even without precheck, travelers can depend on a 20 minute wait tops. I do not know the nameless technocrat who has delivered us this kindness, but my gratitude is boundless. It is difficult to select for competence in public sector jobs, and so I can only thank the greatest luck, or perhaps divine intervention, for blessing us with the most competent public sector performance I have ever seen. Thank you, sir, ma’am, whoever you are. We may never meet face to face, but please know that you have made countless lives incalculably better through your tireless and efficient management of the Raleigh Durham TSA.”
“Love this center! Very kid-friendly, with lots of food options and a nice outdoor area with plenty of shaded areas with benches. Great place to eat, then let your kids play on the turf or small playground.”
“I love TJ's so much. The food is high quality, the prices are reasonable, and many foods here are not very common is standard grocery stores. Also, there is a large staff and they are always friendly and helpful, which you almost NEVER get at regular grocery stores. I do 90% of my shopping here and I would hate to live in a place without a TJ's being close by.”

“I would have given my overall experience a 5 if the T-Rex had a LOUD roar like it was supposed to be. This was my 2nd time to see the exhibit and the first time the T-Rexs roar was SO LOUD like it should be for the T-Rex experience. I was advised that they may have turned it down because of the small children. Overall, all the other dinosaurs were awesome and had great loud roars.”

105 NC-54, Durham“I come here for MilkLab and Zenfish. Two great places for rolled ice cream and refreshing teas. Awesome Poke Bowls with great prices, I came 4 times in 1 week once I was craving it.”
“Very clean well lit shopping center but trying to get out is insane. No fault to the shopping center itself but that's the only complaint. Definitely makes you think twice about going during peak times.”
“Put it on your list of great ways to do evenings on the weekends with or without kids. A good meal at the many restaurants and then all the desert options… it’s including live music and a drink at Rosecomb make for a great way to spend Carolina evenings.”
“I go here for the food lion which is a great location for grocery shopping. The staff is very professional and friendly and helpful. The store is always clean and the food is always fresh.”
“Earlier this year we ordered the Easter meal since then we have ordered their premade meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is the best option and the staff is very friendly and the store is extremely clean. The store manager Stephen is the friendliest person great to work with.”
“Very busy place. Great for takeout there. You get schionos italian food, Jersey mikes, Bombay curry Indian food and Mexican restaurant. A large harris teeter to shop at and across the road Publix grocery store. Excellent place to go.”

710 Laura Duncan Rd, Apex“Ordered large pizza with pepperoni, half sausage, and 1/2 bacon @ Mama Mia's. It was hot upon getting it home ! I live right across the street! Great pizza. Love the crust.”
“It had been quite a while since I've shopped at this location. I am glad to see they have installed the self-checkout area. That is a welcome advancement and extremely beneficial for me. I didn't have any issues, everything was well and good.”
“Heard this place might be bought by a developer and "renovated". Sad I like all the shops I've been in here. I hope that it's not true, this place has been a fixture for years.”
“Daniel was our server and he was really good. He took the time to hear a complex order and made sure it was correct while maintaining a great mood. And the food and atmosphere were great too. Definitely recommend.”
“So many options at this shopping area. You can go craft painting, shop at an Asian grocery store, you'll also find a perfect pastry bistro, or sushi. Feel like Mexican or Irish food tonight ?”
“I have been a Casper sleeper for almost a year now and I’m horrified I didn’t switch sooner! The team at this store have went above and beyond for me especially Cory. With so many options between mattress’s, pillows and even finishing touches like sheets and pillow cases! Cory even helped me discover that the pillow shams fit the cooling pillows better than the regular pillow cases (pro tip if you hate loose fitting finishes).
Highly recommend the Snow Max and the Hybrid Snow Pillows.”
“I always love dunkin donuts... I just really wish they always had my double chocolate donuts. Unless you're there first thing in the morning you're not getting one.”

201 Fenton Gtwy Dr, Cary“I really love Fenton. I think it's so beautiful and well-crafted. I love that it's a family friendly place, and although people may think it's not budget friendly, I think if you look in the right places you'll find something for your budget. The movie theatre has discounted tickets on Tuesdays, the coffee stand is well priced, and Arula and Altar'd State have great discount sections. I know the PBR club has options for free entry and obviously you can order inexpensive at the restaurants if you sift through the menu. A few of the other stores have clearance sections too, these are just some of my favorites. The only thing I'm not fond of is the parking situation, but I know that they're working on that!”
“Very cool place to visit, prices were good selection was great staff was friendly. Highly recommend if you're just used to seeing the catalog it's better in person”
“So many great buys at fabulous prices. I love shopping for shoes here or for fun button downs or ties for the men in my life here. Also a great place for good bras that don't cost an arm and a leg like a Nordstrom a cross the street.
Friendly staff. Clean.”
“Went to Olive Garden because Red Lobster was so busy. It turned out to be a great decision. The food was good, and Nadia was an exceptional server. Very good experience.”

1711 Walnut St, Cary“I really appreciated the cashier letting me know (without me inquiring) that an item I chose was priced at $2.50 because it was not clearly marked near the product (personal sized bag of Cheetos). And, I purchased it because of his honesty.”
“Plenty of stores, but the roads are annoying to navigate through. Its also weird that it's divided into like three or four distinct sections that are hard to walk between. Makes shopping here a bit challenging sometimes. But hey, there's a target so that's a win right? Love me some target.”
“I remember when this was a forest. Great shopping center. Something for everyone. Plenty of places to eat, shop, and chill. Movies, Target, pet store, they’ve got it all.”
