CARY, North Carolina ( WRAL ) -- Most locals have walked past the slowly fading mural at the corner of Harrison and Chatham. Painted by a woman who grew up in Cary more than 70 years ago, the mural serves as a historic document of the town's most iconic faces, places and memories. Some of the people and places should look familiar: There along the top of the mural are many historic buildings still standing along or near Academy Street today – the Pink House, the former Cary High School, the Page-Walker hotel.
