My grandma is FROM fuquay and stated the Fuquay Consolidated African American school is the real history of the place and the formerly all white school Fuquay Springs High. She feels that is grossly overlooked and I can agree with that
As a local middle school student, I am great friends with the son of stick boy bread owners, and everyone there is super nice and I cannot recommend it enough
Thank you for sharing!!!
As someone who has driven through Fuquay-Varina plenty of times I knew exactly where you were going and recognized alot....and yeah Fuquay-Varina is really beautiful outside of that gritty area
Honestly after a while you donât even notice it!
Like the new cover for your channel!! Content continues to be stellar. Keep Smiling! - Dave
Wait until you see this Thursdays video!! I think itâs the best one weâve done!!
I thought is was a nice town when we moved here (little over a year ago) but there is an overpopulation problem. And construction of new homes on every open piece of land. Wish there were more home cooking restaurants and not fast food. Overall good video though. đ
Very nice place and Fuquay varina is growing really fast.
Big builders are intrested buying more land
It's nice that smaller towns and suburbs around Raleigh are seeing the value in maintaining and investing in their downtowns after decades of many of them mostly ignoring them in favor of strip mall development.
I agree! I think itâs also a matter of population and being able to compete with Walmart. When we moved here, the population of Fuquay was like 6000. And Walmart came in just a couple of years later. Itâs really hard for mom and pops to compete with that in such a small town. Now that Fuquay is more populated, itâs easier to compete.
This was nice. Can you do a drive though Clayton?
Yup! We can do that!
That would be great!
Very good video capturing the essence of F-V.. In addition, there is the area that has newly built homes but journey in or out of those complexes the surrounding ventures would be just as you have shown. I was heavily considering buying a house in F-V. The homes offered there are often bigger and are very tempting. However after going there and experiencing the grittiness (good choice for the description!) and finding it really was further a field to more major areas we nixed the idea. Your video also showed me the older neighborhoods which appear to contain a lot of ambience and well cared for. Despite being there a few times I had never noted that part. Very interesting video and important for your buyers to know just how far out they would be if living in FV. Our choice spot is Apex, Cary and parts of Durham but we also now considering Holly Springs. FV is definitely a different scene - much more a rural feel with the arrival of funky hip places and growing commercialism thrown in.
I really like your description. Itâs right on.
One problem is no right of way left turns. Even school busses have to wait in the middle of the road for the red light and run it!! Also no crossing signals for walkers.
Seems like a few things could really be cleaned up!! Have you been to any planning meetings?
Like how you did the drive
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love these drive thru videos. How about a drive through Apex,Cary, or Wake Forest?
You got it!! Iâll probably do one a month. Cary is a pretty big town so that might be hard to cover in one video but Iâll see what I can do! I guess people can speed it up if itâs boring but then they wouldnât get my fascinating commentary đ đ
Apex would be a good next stop please.
Will add it to the list!!
Donât forget Holly Springs, please đ
Would also love to see Chapel Hill and Wake Forest â€
Can you do one of Wake Forest?? This is AMAZING, just what my wife & I want to see to get a great feel for the area. We actually drove through Holly springs looking at homes but we never got the chance to drive thru Fuquay with what little time we have down there :)
I will see what we can do!! We have a few in production so it might be a little while. đ
Juxtaposition of new and old, right and left. A couple of gun shops, Tractor Supply, and a Walmart that (at least pre-pandemic) sold horse meds. But next door could be an artisan bakery, breweries, Aldi, Krispy Kreme, and thrift stores to thrill any millennial. Housing is WAY more affordable than anything else on the western side of Wake, and one of your neighbors will likely give you veggies from the garden, and know how to break down your car engine.
And you can buy baby chicks at tractor supply in the springâŠjust check with your HOA first đ
Could you do a drive in raleigh downtown and north hills
Great idea!! Iâll add it to the list!
@@EllenPitts Thank you
Is there a sense of community there?
Lived her for 15 years, it was nice till about 6 years ago traffic is horrible in this area and the school systems aren't great either I went through from k-12 the elementary schools were the only good thing, middle and high has a huge issue with bullying and the schools never did anything to prevent it. Walmart parking lot next to Home Depot is sketchy, especially in the evening, I used to be the waitress at King Chinese buffet there. Had a lot of creepy run ins. The only good thing about this area is the mom and pop shops and local restaurants. It's more of a town to visit. There is nothing really to do other than bar's and Axe throwing.
Holly springs is literally 5 minutes away
@@jonathanray5089 it's 15 for me and 30 with traffic
Don't forget the new pop shelf and TJMaxx
I drove right by it and didnât even mention them!
IMO Stephenson's didn't go out of business because of Home Depot, they went out of business because of the Great Recession. A big part of their business was catering to builders with lumber packages and when the builders stopped, their business took a nosedive.
Either way, we really miss that store. It still makes me sad to drive by it.
@@EllenPitts Yeah me too. I loved that place. It was nice to have an alternative to HD or Lowes.
