Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


city under development
Star Rating - 7/18/2008
The Triangle is great place to live. I was born and raised around Chapel Hill just 45 minutes away, went to college at Duke just 30 minutes away, and now live in Raleigh and work in Cary (about 10 minutes away). With all of the great things this place has going for it, I am a bit surprised that in all these years more effort has not been made to capitalize on the technical and technological expertise that continues to pour into the RTP and surrounding areas with regard to mass transportation. Although many of buses have gone green (this is particularly evident in Chapel Hill), this area is in dire need of some type of rail system to connect the 3 (or now 4, if you count Cary, as the Census Bureau now does) cities together and make this a true metropolis.
