I try to be as condensed as poss. with this computer stuff.
I was talking about Clayton and the nightlife...I thought that was the question??? Did say that Raleigh was more geared to that. But because I am older than the regular college student in Raleigh, was talking about more conservative places to go.
You are right...I wasn't talking about the outer border of Raleigh - didn't make that clear enough either I guess. I meant the city itself...not outside the beltline. I worked all over Raleigh, inside and outside the beltline, but was really referring to the actual "city". I used to live in Wake Forest where the north border of Raleigh has expanded a little. It did take about 15 mins. to get to downtown Raleigh so, of course, I agree with you!
As far as Raleigh being a "city" like DC....hmmmm I guess we can agree to disagree on that one. Worked downtown at a law firm and my dad worked at VOA. Can be scary if you don't know the place. However, I did and was more sensitized to it. But here, I wouldn't think twice about walking on the street alone at night - even in downtown Raleigh (comparatively speaking...). And it takes about 45 mins to an hour to get through the city of DC depending on where and if you drive like a madman. Guess I have a nasty taste in my mouth about the place. Nice to visit "but wouldn't want to live there (again)!!
Again, sorry...dont' want to ruffle feather. I should have been more clear!!
