- We're in a pretty new portion of Granger PInes (Heritage Pines/Woody Haven/Sylvan Grove/Tranquil Pines), noticed for the first time this morning, as I was leaving for work around 6:15am, 2 teens standing right at the main road - I presume a bus stop.
Pretty encouraging to see neighborhood growing, and a reminder for me to be careful in the mornings to look out for kids at bus stops. (Nextdoor Southern Pines) - Anyone in artesian forest missing a chocolate lab?
Last seen on maple ln he's older and had a collar but no tag or number on it. He's super friendly but busy looking for his home (Nextdoor Artesian Forest)
