Dog days....in the Triangle
See All Lists
1. Bowman Animal Hospital & Cat Clinic
We just returned from a visit for our older dog here yesterday and I wanted to add that they are not only thorough and friendly....but amazingly efficient. It could have been the time of the day (late afternoon), but it didn't take more than a few…More »

My wife and I have been using Bowman Animal Hospital (& Cat Clinic) since we first moved out here in… Read more »
2. Phydeaux
I used to laugh and scoff at people who would buy their dogs fancy dog foods and spoil them rotten with little sweaters and other accoutrements. Not any more, I am one of those "people".
Honestly, the transformation from active outdoor, hiking,…More »
3. Veterinary Specialty Hospital of the Carolinas
So, this was our second time around for calling up a specialist here and it came with a completely different experience than our first - for the better.
It's almost always never good news if you have to come here....so add in the stress - emotional…More »

Veterinarians,
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
Back in June 2009, my wife and I had to travel to the Bay Area for a friend's wedding. Relatively new to the Triangle and on short notice, we were out of luck with using Bowman as our standby pet boarding choice since they were all booked. Naturally,…More »
5. Four Paws Animal Clinic
Chapel Hill, NC 27517

Categories:
Veterinarians,
Pet Boarding/Pet Sitting
We don't use Four Paws Animal Clinic for their veterinary services...however, we use them frequently when we have to buy prescription dog food since they are a much closer alternative for us than Bowman Animal Hospital & Cat Clinic. That being said,…More »
6. Homestead Park
(7/6/10 UPDATE: Address/map issue corrected thanks to the CM!) IMPORTANT NOTE: I think both the google map address and the listed address don't jive. The map on Yelp shows this park as being at the intersection of Dairyland and Homestead. THIS IS…More »
7. Eno River State Park
We decided to tackle this area on the lazy day after the 4th of July festivities and weren't disappointed. On a sleepy Monday late morning, hiking the Cox Mountain Trail with our single Chi-wiener dog in tow presented us with some beautiful, quiet…More »
8. Lake Crabtree County Park
FYI, I'm taking a different perspective on this review - primarily bent on it's mountain bike (MTB) friendly aspects. And yes, Brian W., the MTB trails are still there....and better.
This park is my "feeder" into the trails of Umstead for some really…More »
9. William B. Umstead State Park
I love this place! This is a great little find in the middle of the west Raleigh area - centrally located for the Triangle area and easily reachable even from the southern "Cary" side of I-40 (e.g., Crabtree).
We've been here plenty of times with the…More »
10. Jordan Lake
Good facilities and plenty of spaced apart picnic tables interspersed between shade trees. The increased entrance fees bite a bit, but I guess every state is suffering through this economic downturn....so I'll suck it up for the state. I'm a bit…More »
11. Godbold Park
This review is for the dog park only - or as I like to title it: "How to spend lots of city money making a completely useless and yet super exclusive dog park for the rest of the Triangle."
So we ventured out to this city park on a beautiful Friday…More »
Recently updated lists from Dan C.
I can haz internetz? (Free Wifi in the Triangle) (28)I'm cheap. There I said it. So I like to support businesses that let me dine, drink, shop, etc...also while letting me do my surfing. Preferably non-chain and local, but I've been known to show up in a few of the big corporations' brick & mortar joints to check-in. Here are some places in the Triangle that'll cater to your internet wet dreamz and check-in fantazeees.... |
Home, Sweet Home.... (11)RDU (and nearby) resources for that big home purchase....don't worry, it's only 30 years of your life, right?????? |
Repeat Offenders (3)As quoted in Raising Arizona, "They've got a name for people like you....That name is called 'recidivism.'" It's good to give people a second chance for redemption. However, some businesses just don't get it. Here's a list of Triangle businesses that just don't make the grade after subsequent visits/dealings. |
Where's Dan? (Lunch eats in & around RTP/Durham/CH) (26)I liken this list to a "Where's Waldo?" game, except....I'm Waldo. You might find me here....then again, you might not! I'm harder to spot b/c I'm not wearing that striped shirt with a cap. Good luck! |
Twice is Nice... (4)Everyone deserves a second chance at redemption, right? Here are some Triangle businesses that didn't quite jive with me the first visit, but later proved me wrong. It's like Lazarus...but everyone's still alive. No worries, no businesses were hurt in this list. |
You say Szechuan, I say Sichuan...Szechwan. All hail the pepper! (3)If you like spicy, these places cater to the chili-loving southwestern Chinese province with that iconic Szechuan/Sichuan/Szechwan peppercorn! |
What happens in Vegas.... (13)Living la vida local for 4 years in Las Vegas - these are the places I loved and still miss. |
Puttin' on the frites: poutine, chips/tots/fries with sauce (8)My weird passion for all things frites in the Triangle. I prefer poutine, but cheese fries/tots or even chili-cheese fries will do...Just remember (sung to "Puttin' on the Ritz"): When you're blue and you don't know where to go to, Why don't you go where the potato sits, Puttin' on the frites.... |
Win some, dim sum.... (5)Sometimes it's a draw...or worse. Some local (Triangle) and not so local dim sum places (from all over) b/c I've got to keep the dream alive! |
Ahhhhh......fish & chips or chips & fish? (5)The magic formula: fish, batter, oil and potatoes. Tastings from all over - local (Triangle) and elsewhere of where I satisfy my greasy sea cravings. |
