Review of Raleigh, North Carolina


reports look good ...take another look
Star Rating - 2/7/2008
A decent place to raise your family. If you want modern thinking forget it. Bubba still reins here. The schools are not that good and school is all anyone here seems to talk about. I have lived in NC for 15 years and have experienced some backward thinking compared to cities this size.

I am a southerner but cannot understand the judgemental attitude of the bible thumper's here. So many peope in church yet no one seeks peace,, keeping up with the Jones is far more important.

It rains quite a bit here and is humid like a swamp. Our air conditioner was on for Christmas.

The cost of living is alright but not if you are single.

If you have been to the midwest be prepared,, Raliegh is not "Real" like the midwest in attitude or everyday life pracitce. If my husband would move I would leave Raleigh . Sorry to not rave,,, I just don't see the thrill of Raleigh I find many small minded.
