Clayton, NC

So I'm playing with Photosynth, and it looks pretty cool, does anyone else use it? I wonder does it have any SEO benefit. It snowed here in most of North Carolina on Friday night and as I have two listings in Wyndfall I took the dog out Saturday morning for a snow walk and snapped these pictures of 114 Kirkland Court, later I went to 261 Wyndfall Lane.

Clayton, NC, Beautiful Older Homes Downtown.

While the town of Clayton NC has grown quite rapidly, the majority of the growth as in most towns is in the surrounding area's where there is the land to build.

So the town has become home to many new people in the surrounding subdivisions. And like most towns Clayton is a town with plenty of charm and history. The downtown is comprised of shops, restaurants, office space and plenty of older homes.

Some of these homes are completely refurbished and others in need of some TLC, and while none of these are currently for sale, they do crop up here quite regularly.

So if downtown living in a historic building is for you, them send me an e-mail or give me a call and I will start looking.

Clayton NC tries to Lock Up Cats...Public Outcry Says No!! Cats Run Free.

( Picture very kindly allowed by Dorothy Delina Porter who has some amazing cat photos on Flickr)

So the Town of Clayton had decided to amend a town ordanence that would have made it an offense to allow your cat to stray off your property...as applies to dogs. Apparently cats were left out a long time ago when Johnston County applied the rule.

On the evening of the proposed vote there was a public outcry with many people objecting to the ordinance. I heard of a large blow up cat with a sign decring the decision, and another person who would rather euthanize their cat rather than have them wear a collar,(I have to confirm these stories although could anyone make this up ?)

So when it came time to vote three town council members went with the cat owners and the amendmentd was shot down.

I thought it an odd thing that a town was going to tell people what to do with their cats, having always thought that cats were supposed to be outside aka. Lions, Tigers, etc. but how many times have you seen a poor dead cat in the road, plus if you've ever tried to grow vegetable and the neighbours cat..... well you get it.....!

So in Clayton North Carolina cats are free to roam...for now!!!

Where is the dog lobby in all of this, why can't I run free?
