The sad part is that Apex used to be a cow town 30 minutes from Raleigh. Cary actually used to be a small town 15 minutes from away too. Those used to be all of my stomping grounds. Ive lived in RTP, Durham, Hillsborough, Siler City, Greensboro, Wilmington, Asheville, Goldsboro. I can never truly go home due to urban sprawl. My brother attends NC State, and he talks about Raleigh, it isnt the same city I knew. Thats why I moved to Alabama! I hope you will enjoy the VX as much as all of us have. I grows on you very fast.
