Metal with Meaning
While strolling through the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham, NC, you may notice an eye-catching metal sculpture here and there. Chances are that the piece of art that you saw was created by Jim Gallucci, a sculptor from Greensboro, NC. Not only is his artwork featured locally, it can also be seen across the state of North Carolina, the United States, and beyond!

About Town: Rising Star
Ashley Wilson Shines as a Top REALTOR® under 30 in the Country.

Among those applications one rising star from Raleigh, NC stood out among others: Ashley Wilson from Coldwell Banker Howard Perry & Walston Builder Services.

Fall Seeding For Oh-So-Lovely Lawns All Year Long!
Ever wondered how those beautifully green, gorgeously landscaped lawns in and around the Triangle came to be? According to Kurt Nitschke of Pope Landscaping & Irrigation Company and longtime North Raleigh lawn and landscape professional Joe Newsome, the basics for picturesque yards are typically executed in the fall with year-round attention and maintenance, resulting in the oohs and aahs of neighbors and passersby.

New Act Helps First-Time Homebuyers in the Triangle
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 was signed by President Bush on July 30, 2008. Although the primary basis of the Act is to improve confidence and stability in markets by providing mortgage relief (by keeping American families in their homes), other areas of the Act include many positive aspects for first-time homebuyers.
