Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


New to Raleigh
Star Rating - 6/14/2008
I moved here from Mid town Manhattan,the center of the world, and find many outdoor activites and family and even a nicely laid out art area downtown. The parks are among the best in the country, especially in a city center. Crime is non existance, homes are cheap and incomes and the local percapita brain trust are all phiigh! The adive that was given to me are two month of me talkking to everyone how this cor that compares to NYC was a friend from NC told me to nuy a Frommers book take it out to To the William B, Umstead State Park walk for 20 minutes on any of the paths into the woods and then plop down beneath the surrouanding monsterious pines and read abount the rest of yodur life in NC. After you read dog ear some things that interest you and go for i t.I can quarentee you will get a better feelin for our adopted Sstate. Keep positive and you CAN DO IT! Carpe Diem Ladies and Gentlemen!
