The Heart of the Triangle.... clogged arteries and all*

Welcome to Morrisville, NC, population 15,000 or so, former railroad hub turned...... dunno. A work in progress. That's what we'll call it for now.

Despite the popular notion that "you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around and that's what it's all about" we've got the real deal. Location. Smack dab in the middle of the triangle we are. Should be a plus, but our close proximity to Cary, RTP, RDU Airport and points beyond is causing some real headaches. Growing pains, I guess you could say. Still, we're a lovely little town, a Charlie Brown Christmas tree in need of a bit of attention.

There's even a book about us. Local historian Ernest Dollar gets the credit for Morrisville (Images of America: North Carolina) A fascinating look at where we've come from. And then some.

Ernest Dollar I'm not. But I'm also not Ernest T Bass. So I'll share a bit of what's going on in the Heart of the Triangle without throwing rocks through your winders. Windows.

*Controlling risk factors isn't popular with a majority of our elected board and staff. Angioplasty is an option - with money and thoughtful planning we could indeed open up some of the blocked arteries. For now we can rely on.... aspirin.
