Are you aware there is a real life wildlife sanctary right here in our area?  Carnivore Preservation Trust (CPT) is a 55 acre site based in Pittsboro and houses various tiger, snow leopards, and jaguars to name just a few.  How do I know of this extraordinary location?  I have enjoyed a tour of the property; viewing many of the animals in their natural habitat.The tour is reasonably priced; required you to walk a very 'natural' path and is guided for your and the animals satey.  It is beyond description to be in such close proximity to such creatures that some have traveled far and wide to see in person.The first step is to view their website http://www.cptigers.org/.  The site is extremely informative; take a moment to view the 'Meet the Animals' http://www.cptigers.org/animals/default...

'When in Rome, do as the Roman's do' is a famous quote that also applies to Sanford, Lee county.  Many local eating establishments find themselves bubbling with activity on any given Friday evening.  And for good reason.  Sanford has a pretty good selection of choices for a family meal to a night out on the town for two.  Choices include everything from the big chains to a true 50's diner complete with counter and stools.  What's so great about having these choices in Sanford?  For one, with gas prices still on the rise more emphasis may be placed on the meal and less funds allocated to the transportation.  Secondly, there's hardly ever a wait in line.  Lastly, you might spend as much time enjoying your meal as chatting with your neighbors.  One of the pleasures of a smaller town.   So,...
