Garner

The locals still gather at the Toot-N-Tell, as much for gossip as for the traditional Southern fare. Recent revitalization efforts have aimed at restoring the old downtown that features one of only a few Wake County railroad stations still standing in its original location. Have some oysters and cold beer at Sunny Side Too Oyster Bar. See one of the region's finest community theatres. Shop at White Oak Crossing. Golf at Eagle Ridge Golf Club. And for some serious adult fun, zip up your driving suit and go, go, go at RushHour Karting. Whether you qualify as a local or not, more than likely you'll fit right in. This is because here, in one of the most promising corners of the Greater Raleigh area, they host the annual Triangle Beach Music Festival every spring--and who doesn't like beach music?

Where it is: Located approximately 15 minutes south of downtown Raleigh.
