Ok, I need to dispell some of these things that i've read about raleigh,
I grew up in raleigh, dont have a southern accent, dont use the word yankee unless im talking about the baseball team, and dont know hardly any uppity, stuck up raleigh people, and they talk about all the rude people there, telling them to go back from where they came. like one guy said on here,
raleigh was built up by northerners over the last 30 years. Starting with IBM. I know b/c my family moved here from long island new york in 1976, even then before i was born, my parents tell me mostly everyone here was always nice. and as far as things to do, theres plenty to do, there's frankies arcade and karting. the movie theaters, the IMAX, flea market on the weekend is fun, and free to boot. yes traffic is bad lately, but thats coz theres so many people moving here from everywhere else. If you run into someone who is rude, they not from round here...
