Over 55 Active Adult Retirement CommunitiesRaleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill - Triangle AreaMay 2021 Why are retirees choosing North Carolina for retirement? There are a variety of reasons. I often ask my clients what drew them to North Carolina. For many it is the moderate weather (very little snow), seasons, and lower taxes. Others come here for the variety of things to do, the universities, quality of healthcare, low crime, sports, natural beauty, and to be close to their kids and grandchildren. It is always interesting to hear why people chose this area. Personally, I love it here! Would it surprise you to know there are 40+ Active Adult communities in the Triangle area?  Del Webb: There are currently 4 Del Webb communities and a 5th Del Webb Community being built.

I got called for jury duty today and learned quite a bit about how it works: They start from a pool of about 500k eligible Wake County citizens and a computer chooses 500 potential jurors for each day. Then an algorithm randomly assigns a number to each juror. My number was 83. The day before your jury day, you call and listen to a recording with instructions. Today all jurors with numbers 1-99 had to appear and numbers 100+ did not. If you appear, that counts as having served jury duty even if they don't use you in a jury. That means you won't get called for at least another two years! Woohoo! Oh, and they pay you $12 per day. Cha-ching! #civicduty #bestplacetolive 03/06/2019
