Can anyone confirm that rumor ?? I really dont believe it, I visited Raleigh a few years back and I didn't get that impression ... But things do change ... Also, how about the school system ? Is it Raleight that wants to do the 45-15 thing ? Thanks, all hte help is very much appreciated. We'll be moving in august of this year

Raleigh isn't smoky but has ozone in the Summer and is absolutely awful for allergies.

How hard is it to understand? When someone says there are no jobs, they don't LITERALLY mean there are zero companies with job postings. It means there are not nearly enough open positions for everyone who wants, needs, and is qualified for a job to actually have one. When you say you're freezing your behind off, is your behind literally freezing off? I think not. Oh, wait..that's right. You were just trying to rile someone up! I almost forgot where I was.

Raleigh has really good air quality, but it is very humid in the summer, and in spring for a few weeks it rains pollen.
