I learned today from a Crossroads employee that a Cracker Barrell was going to go where Bob Evans resides, at the corner of Meeting and Walnut, but Cary wouldn't let them in because of their tall-ass sign.

fuck cracker barrel

7/25/2010 10:56:33 PM

this story is not exactly true

7/25/2010 10:57:11 PM

cracker barrel is anti-homosexuals. they pretty much fire you if they find out you are gay

so my whole family has been boycotting them for years

so good

7/25/2010 10:57:38 PM

fuck cracker barrel

7/25/2010 10:58:59 PM

I don't think I've eaten at Cracker Barrel in 10 years.

7/25/2010 10:59:02 PM

just thinking about cracker barrel makes me constipated

7/25/2010 10:59:06 PM

I don't like Cracker Barrel, but I don't like Cary either

so I'm sort of torn on this one

7/25/2010 10:59:24 PM

Having to drive to Morrisville to eat at one is a first world problem.

Their side salads own. The onlt thing I have found comparable is an Outback side salad.

7/25/2010 11:00:52 PM

fuck cracker barrel

7/25/2010 11:01:25 PM

I'm on the side of NOT CARING.

7/25/2010 11:01:37 PM

dont care.

7/25/2010 11:02:32 PM

Cracker Barrel is someplace my grandparents go

it smacks of boring family gatherings and long road trips

maybe the food is really good, but I've never actually gone there of my own free will

7/25/2010 11:02:42 PM

people that hate cary have only been to western cary or the mall

7/25/2010 11:06:33 PM

or lived in Cary for 13 fucking years

7/25/2010 11:07:14 PM

i'm sorry your childhood sucked

it probably would have sucked anywhere

7/25/2010 11:07:55 PM

my childhood was good...Cary went to shit right around the time I left
my current life is good too
hope yours is also, bitch

7/25/2010 11:09:09 PM

MANHUG

7/25/2010 11:09:40 PM

After staying in Cary and the general area for a while I tend to get tired of it, but whenever I come back after a long time away I realize how nice Cary is compared to a lot of other places.

7/25/2010 11:12:36 PM

gah, I hate doing this (pulls away awkwardly)

kind of funny that you added "overabundance of chain restaurants" in this thread

Why would a homosexual want to work at a Cracker Barrel anyway?

Talk about the tackiest workplace ever.

7/26/2010 1:00:10 AM

yeah pretty sure fags made that up because they hate cracker barrel so much

^stop calling people fags, it makes you sound ignorant.

7/26/2010 1:09:57 AM

Cracker Barrel is anti-good food. they pretty much make terrible food.

7/26/2010 1:10:34 AM

^^so you prefer to be called a homosexual?

7/26/2010 1:13:05 AM

why does it matter what the owner of the cracker barrel thinks about gay people? they are serving food, and that's it. I'm pretty sure everyone has their own loves and hates, it's not plastered on the wall to offend anyone, so who cares?

7/26/2010 1:14:42 AM

Cary is a nice place to live.

Avoid an HOA and you're fine.

Or, just bitch about everything incessantly.

Having moved to an area that costs more, has significantly more crime, has less accessible shopping, has more actual problems, has less desirable education options, has much higher poverty, has a relatively uneducated populace, has crappy healthcare options with long waiting times, and has clusterfucked traffic, I can see the good parts in what Cary has done and am more than willing to live there and peacefully oppose the sillier things they do. Maybe it's just the old man in me talking.

7/26/2010 1:16:53 AM

you move to Memphis?

7/26/2010 1:17:45 AM

The hampton roads area, actually.

[Edited on July 26, 2010 at 1:18 AM. Reason : That description applies to a lot of metro areas besides the raleigh area, though.]

7/26/2010 1:18:37 AM

Cary is ok as long as you can ignore their stupid rules. Like the one that makes Bojangles inaccessible to most of Cary

7/26/2010 1:18:51 AM

why would you live in a place that has rules that you hate?

Don't say because its cheap, because of location or because it has cool stores. It does however have nice grass and water runoff, and houses that are 30 feet from each other.

They are building a Bojangles (The first new bojangles in virginia beach in 15 years) right next to my pizza shop

[Edited on July 26, 2010 at 2:02 AM. Reason : .]

7/26/2010 2:02:09 AM

^then you picked a fantastic location

7/26/2010 2:05:20 AM

I lived in Bumfuck, NC for 18 years. Raleigh for a few years, and Cary for 2 years now. I much prefer Cary.

7/26/2010 2:23:31 AM

I, too, prefer the sterile, insular confines of Cary.

7/26/2010 3:21:26 AM

I mean, I live in a really old neighborhood near downtown Cary that is much more diverse racially and age-wise than any other place I've lived (excluding on campus). I'm within walking distance of an old ass drugstore that still has a soda fountain, a hippy cafe, and a fucking strip club. Insular.

Ashworths use to be really kickass now its ehh.

7/26/2010 3:55:42 AM

^^ not to mention the Chinese Christian church

at least ... I think those characters on the front are Chinese

7/26/2010 6:49:45 AM

On chapel hill rd?

Isn't it like the chinese church of god or something?

That used to be the case. The board recinded the policy in 2002.

"The board of directors added sexual orientation to the company's nondiscrimination policy." (Wikipedia)

They just opened a new Bojangles near the corner of Chatham and Maynard. I guess you could consider that inaccessible to most of Cary considering Cary somehow expanded all the way out to Jordan Lake, beating Apex in the annexation frenzy.

That might be relevant if you had lived somewhere other than "bumfuck, NC"

haha, I guess that would qualify...if it were 1960.
