Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


Raleigh, North Carolina
Star Rating - 2/3/2008
Very disappointing place to live. We moved here because an almanac said how wonderful it was for working
mothers, culture scene, weather, employment, etc. It was voted best city I believe for working mothers. Let's take into consideration what no book tells you. The attitude of the people. Being Yankees from New York we are treated as such. They still carry the old grudge of north versus south. It is a beautiful state, with opportunities for employment, but it is definitely losing its appeal. Many companies and apartments are being built, and the trees are being cut down. Raleigh is now becoming a place for businesses and apartments, not family homes. In the past 4 years, we have seen the landscape of our area go to absolute hell. We are looking to relocate. May be a good area to live if you
are Mexican. There are many moving down here, and the Mexican Community is becoming stronger.
