Well, I'll make this short. I've started blogging a bit lately and I've been told in the past that "it's a sorry dog that don't bark in it's own backyard". Weathers Hunt is a relatively small neighborhood in Wendell off of Rolesville Road. It is near the intersection of Rolesville and Marks Creek, near BJ's Grocery. A fine neighborhood with large lots and great construction (Johnny Watson Homes). No amenities - or dues! Kind of bias because I live there.
