Need a payphone?

A rare sighting these days, the payphone at the Warsaw rest stop on I-40 East in North Carolina sits waiting for a customer but, sadly, no one stops to use it...

Nightmare at NC State University


Enter the new traffic circle at NC State University Bell tower at your own risk.
This new circle goes round and round but will significantly challenge drivers for a long, long time...


This new yield / one-way sign is unique in all of North Carolina. DOT and its contractors have done it again!

Read too much... get run over...


Read all the signs at your own risk...

Town Planners and CSX Railroad recently built this $207,000 pedestrian crossing near downtown Apex. When it came time to decide on signs to post at the crossing the planners went into overload.

Nevermind that the crossing goes nowhere and is the Town's own "bridge to nowhere". After spending all that money, the east side of the crossing ends abruptly beside the tracks and there is no way to go anywhere else. The intent was to make this part of a path to Historic Downtown Apex but work was not done to actually make the path connect to the Town office complex. So for now, you can stand by the tracks and watch the trains go by...

Got signs?



Find your way through the maze of signs at this Historic Downtown District drugstore in Apex.

There are at least 12 signs on this new drugstore. Even more if you count the signs on the delivery vehicle covered with signs.

Horses and tater chips



Its true!

If you get a horse you will probably end up with several.

Dismount !

The Railroad speaks... dismount before entering here.

Poor planning...




A sign on the wall of a friend's barn gives good advice about planning or the lack thereof...

Signs of discontent










Mayor Weatherly's little band of "yes men" have been getting the heat lately. Lots of folks have discovered several Apex Town Council members go along with whatever Weatherly wants when voting at Town Council meetings.

Take time to sit in on Town Council meetings and make your voice known. Help the Council know which way to vote.
