I used to look at the map of Cary and say "huh?"
To me it looks like someone threw a tomato at a piece of white paper.
Sure there's that big splat! in the center, then there are these little tiny 
threads in the corner with a bunch of seeds at the end.  Ever figure out
how the airport is in Durham, but so is Cary?
