I guess costellopresley will have to clarify the question.
Not sure how you can be asking for towns "outside Wake, Durham, Orange" and have a town that literally is partially inside Orange County and that is too far from the Triangle. I dunno. I guess north and west of Orange County doesn't count?? Yet north and east of Wake County does? If you want to limit the question to just those towns on the list, don't include "other".
That's fine if you want to include Mebane. If anything, Mebane is a transition zone between the Triad and Triangle and could go either way. I can understand why folks in Chapel Hill might view Mebane as part of the Triangle.
I've talked about this in other threads but it is truly baffling how Butner and Creedmoor have remained small, yet both towns are less than 30 minutes from downtown Durham and north Raleigh. Meanwhile, towns such as Fuquay-Varina are booming.
4 pages of arguing about Mebane. This town has finally made it! woohooo!
As a 28-year resident of the Triangle area, I would include Mebane with Burlington/Elon and therefore part of the Triad, if anyone is still keeping score haha

You can't do this you can't make another triangle
Burlington elon is part of the triad and mebane triangle
Mebane is full of people coming to Durham and raleigh and rtp for work like that's the real situation you don't say they're commuting from the triad

Some folks in Chapel Hill. There is no consensus amongst us...clearly.
Also, while we are one of the three points of the Triangle, I think it's a bit of a stretch to say the least that Chapel Hill is a "1/3 of the Triangle" as some have suggested. It simply does not have the same draw and significance as Raleigh or even Durham for that matter which is made evident by development patterns.
