Being new to Raleigh
-
6/5/2010
I was born and raised in the south. Have lived upstate Ny for the past 13 years. Recently moved to Raleigh 3 months ago in March 2010. I simply hate it and regret that I moved here. Hopefully I will be moving back upstate by August. I guess you can say I have been gone to long from North Carolina. I am so creeped out by the thumb size centipedes crawling through the bathroom drains. The big wolf spiders greeting you in the hallway outside of the apartments. The snakes that are killed daily outside my daugter's job due to the construction next door. I am tired of seeing for sale signs in every wooded lot that is left standing. No wonder wildlife is all over the place. Driving down interstate 85, a black bear crosses the road in front of the car. A child actually gets bitten by a copperhead at durham middle school. I advise anyone that isn't use to these sort of things to not move to Raleigh. Yes the beauty lured us here to....but Raleigh is not what it is cracked up to be. Health care sucks and so does some of the hospitals. Nothing to do in Raleigh but eat. You would think a place this size would at least have an amusement park or zoo. When I move back upstate, I am going to kiss the ground and never complain again.
