Campaign Signs are Not Allowed on Town Property or Town Roads

I’m starting to see some of the annual posts about “my opponents are stealing my signs” on various social media platforms, etc.

I want to clarify: in the Town of Apex, you can not place signs on either town property, adjacent to town property, or on any town road (this includes the Peakway). This also matches Cary rules, as I understand it.

Town staff (our code enforcement officers) have been enforcing this year. There is a large pile of signs at town hall. If a sign of yours or your candidate “goes missing”, consider the possibility that town staff was enforcing the law rather than your opponent was sneaking around in the middle of the night stealing your signs.

Oh - also - this doesn’t apply to NCDOT roads (55, 64, Ten Ten, Kelly, Olive Chapel, etc). Sign placement on NCDOT roads are governed by NCDOT, the town doesn’t touch them.

The Provincial

We ate there tonight to celebrate a special birthday with family. I had not been in several years. It was amazing. What a treasure we have in downtown Apex. Smoked fish dip, Chinese 5-spice wings, chicken cutlets with spaetzle, hanger steak, salmon. Our table ate every damn crumb. The spinach dip was amazing too. We will be going there for any special occasion going forward.

New Buddhist Meetings for anyone interested . . .

If anyone in the area is interested in Buddhism, I run a Buddhist Sangha that has previously been online but we've just secured a location to start holding regular in-person meetings! They will be held at the same location we recently held our "Buddhist Coffee Hour" - the Mocha Room (2145 Ten-Ten Rd). Our first meeting will be Mon 10/21 @ 7PM and then they will be every other Monday at the same time. Anyone is always welcome, regardless of your previous experience (or lack of experience) with Buddhism. Our meetings will vary a bit from meeting to meeting but generally include readings, meditation, Dharma Talks, and group discussion. Plus, even though the Mocha Room will be closed, they will have a Barista there still to sell great coffee and food to anyone at the meeting that would like to purchase anything. The Mocha Room is a really cool place that supports the Apex community so I encourage everyone to check them out too! More info here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1047849326538226/ . Or feel free to comment/message me with questions.

Bjj vs kickboxing gym

Hi, I'm relocating to the Apex area over the summer. I'm at a gym where my 5 year old and I train bjj and they also have some group fitness classes (cross training, kickboxing, yoga). Any good bjj places that have something similar? My wife does the classes, so it would be great if it's all in the same location.

If not, any recs for kickboxing/cross training group places?

Get ready for the Peakway SW Connector construction to begin this month!

I’ve been waiting for this for over 15 years when it was announced. We just have to grin and bear the construction hassles for 3 years. Then the Peakway will be closer to a complete circle … but not quite (sort of like Cary Parkway)

Water fountains in Jaycee Park

Is there any plan to add water fountains to Jaycee Park? Given all the sports events and existing bathroom facilities, it's surprising that there isn't one already. Curious if this has been discussed and why one hasn't been installed yet. Thank you!

Good local lawn care?

Hey folks. Looking for lawn care recommendations.

I've got a giant yard. I keep it mowed, but I need someone to handle things like edging/cleanup, treatments (fertilizer, weed control, etc), one-off mulching/pine-straw, etc.

I haven't had much luck with the larger "one size fits all" companies, so I'd much prefer someone who handles lawns on a more "case by case" basis (if such a thing exists), like a small passionate company, or a professional who actually cares.

Anyone know of a company like this in the area?

Free/cheap things to do in Apex?

Soooooo, I'm moving into my own apartment in Apex. Basically, hoping to have give or take $500 a month after all bills paid. I don't want to just work and then go home all the time. I also want to touch grass a couple times a week.

Any affordable suggestions? I'll only be a 7 minute drive from downtown (2miles)

Help! I'm going on a first date

I'm going on a first date with this girl on October 10th. She'll be coming to my area (Apex/Raleigh NC) but I'm not sure if there's anything going on that day or anything to do and I haven't had much luck looking it up. I'm recovering from foot surgery so I'm limited with activities. Does anyone have any suggestions??

EDIT: I should have mentioned, she's 20 so any place with drinks/bars we won't be able to fully enjoy BUT I'll keep everything in mind in case it goes well and we can visit when she's 21!

Central Apex or move near Lake Wheeler ?

What’s if like living near Lake Wheeler / Apex side of 401 near Kraft Family YMCA

Looking for some advice. I currently live in central Apex, 8 mins from downtown Apex. Considering moving to the far side of Apex near Lake Wheeler / Apex side of 401. It seems more undeveloped in that area.

Looking for thoughts on: politics, diversity (I’m Asian), schools for kids, safety, traffic, grocery stores, things to do etc.

The zoning is for schools Yates Mill Elementary / Dillard Drive Middle School/ Middle Creek High School. Currently school zoning is Scotts Ridge Elementary / Friendship Middle / Friendship High

Is the far side of Apex near Lake Wheeler going to be more developed in 5 years or am I setting myself up for a bad time being further away from central Apex?

Anyone have an update on the retail portion of Depo 499?

Looks like they are building it now. Any idea when it will open and if any tenants have signed on? All I have heard so far is that a small grocery store is possible here? Like 50,000-70,000 sq ft?

Any updates on Veridea NC?

I saw on news everywhere last year that Veridea mix use community is finally starting up the construction after $91M land deal. Is there any progress happening or was that just a news? Any info on construction start date and estimated completion date? I also have few friends interested on their residential side; single family homes. I see their website is up- https://veridea-nc.com
