The Cary Podcast

This week I talk with Dr. Wayne Beavers who has been taking care of Cary's teeth since the 70's.  We talk about how he started out, how dentistry has changed over the years and the best way for you to take care of your teeth. We also get a quick comedy break from David Ferrell.

This week I take a few moments to update everyone on how I got blocked by one Facebook Group, but was embraced by another, all while remembering a lesson from my elementary school art teacher.

There is no place that represents Cary like Ashworth Drugs, a pharmacy and old fashioned lunch counter located in Downtown Cary. This week I sit down with Paul Ashworth.  We talk about the history of the store, how Downtown Cary has grown and the trials of running an independent pharmacy in the current marketplace.  Yes, we also talk about the milkshakes.   https://www.facebook.com/AshworthDrugs/
