Just behind the shopping center at Apex Peakway and Hwy 55 the once long vacant lot now hosts the shell of a new building for the AAA Service center. You can barely see beyond it through the trees to the little lake I've called little Beaver Creek Lake since I started this blog.
At first disappointed that such a lovely spot next to a little lake with a full walking path would not be home to a romantic restaurant with outdoor seating and a view of the sunset over the slopes of Haddon Hall subdivision, I, like others, have to settle for the nature of town development, that more and more wild and natural areas will be leveled for commerce. Commerce does bring more services to the community and more income to the town coffers, allowing for more investment in community services like the great walking trails and parks that Apex has.
Drive by and see this building before it is completed. For little ones who haven't stopped to look at what makes up a building, this can be interesting.
The lake, as I've written before, is still accessible from behind the shopping center next to it, where there is a path through the hedge onto the hillside part of the lakeside path.
