Why does this bother you?

Have you even visited Raleigh lately (like in the last 5 years)? With so many younger people moving to Raleigh, out of state developers looking for any available land for mixed use projects, as well as many natives returning home from bigger cities, it must not be that boring. But go ahead, believe whatever narrative that you'd like.

I don't have to "believe" any "narrative". My son finished at State 2 years ago ...and I was just there last Friday at Sam Jones BBQ on Lenoir. I know Raleigh well. ...no need for "narratives". Good buzzword though!

Well i'll just say that your "belief" differs from that of many people that I've met...that actually live here and some who've visited and are now anxious to live here.

Sounds like Greensboro is exactly your speed.

"Sounds like Greensboro is exactly your speed."

Nice try! Though I'm not in Greensboro now, I'm proud to say I'm from there...and will return one day! Relax uncchgrad ...bottom line is Raleigh is a mediocre town that happens to be growing really fast. No biggie. By the way, maybe we have something in common, I did my 4 years in Hinton James. You?

You were smart enough to leave, huh?

Hinton James, Carmichael, and Stacy.

What years?

Dude I think he won that battle so let it go. You should give the Charlotte forum a shot. They'd love you over there.
