Here is a fun video of a McDonald's in Cary, North Carolina being torn down. Surely, it would have been fun enough just to see a McDonalds razed to the ground without any special effects. But the creator of this time lapsed video augmented it with Gozilla sound effects for your added viewing pleasure!!!
This McDonald's, for those of you who just need to have your double bypass inducing, cholesterol laced cheeseburger fix, or for those of you who are considering a career in the fast food industry, will reopen in July as one of two "green" stores in the United States.
Lastly, if the thought of having a "green" McDonalds in your home town prompts you to finally make the move to the Raleigh/ Cary, North Carolina area, you can see all the homes currently available by clicking here.

Yesterday, as much of the east coast was being pummeled by a wintery blast, the Raleigh, North Carolina area received our share of the white stuff too!
On the average, the Triangle area (Raleigh/ Durham/ Chapel Hill), gets about 7 inches of snow annually. Typically we'll get two or three inches a couple of times during the month of January and come February, we'll start to see buds on the trees sprouting and the crocus beginning to peek their way out of the ground. And, by March, we're seeing 70 degree days.
But yesterday, that old adage, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" surely rang true!
Schools were closed and businesses, if they opened at all, were on a two hour delay and driving was not recommended.
But, since my daughter Laura had the day off from school, we just had to venture out. We found ourselves at the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve in Cary, North Carolina. With over 3 miles of hiking trails, we had plenty of picture taking opportunities. It seemed as if we were the only ones there as much of the snow was untouched and the only sounds that were heard were the ones we made.
So, if you're thinking about moving to the Raleigh, Cary, Apex, or any of its surrounding areas, but don't want to be without snow, rest assured that we do get some......sometimes! Oh, and leave your shovels back where you come from. Our snow typically lasts a day or two and then it's back to comfy temperatures...The weather forecast for this weekend calls for highs in the lower 70's!

Should you even consider buying a home now?
Simply put, if you are even thinking about it the answer is.....YES!
But why? Here are three very compelling reasons....
First off, interest rates are near all time lows.
Next, home prices have declined to levels not seen in years. There are plenty of homes on the market today and sellers, if they really want to sell, are willing to negotiate.
And, finally, first-time home buyers, if they qualify, are eligible for up to an $8,000 tax credit.
Did you know that even if home prices were to decline 10% but also during that time, interest rates available for home loans were to increase by 1.00%, your monthly principal and interest payment would actually be higher? Source:1st Priority Financial
Are you ready to start your home search? Pictures of homes are nice, but you can't buy a home on the internet. Who can you trust? Who should you call?
Why not start with me, Craig Rutman ....
I know the area. I know the neighborhoods. I know where the hospitals, shopping and schools are. And, probably most importantly, I know my market.
One thing you will learn when working with me is that I will NOT sell you a house, but I WILL help you find a home.
I'll only show you what you want to see, I won't screen out any homes, nor will I steer you in any particular direction.
What I will do is give you my honest opinions of the homes we see and, when the time comes to put pen to paper, you'll know all that is possible to know about that particular home.
I'd like to be that team.
