There are hardly any Dominicans here. I have lived here almost 3 years and only met less than 10. I would say do not move here because it will be a huge culture shock.

Agreed! Def a HUGE culture shock for us. But we bring the flava down here when our families come and visit. LOL. But we do miss the food, music & mixture!

Compare Foods in Zebulon is owned by a Dominican couple. They used to be neighbors of ours several years ago. We also had another Dominican family living nearby as well.

i live in morrisville and ive only met 1 dominican couple and that was on the road while i was driving, spoted the dominican flag and said hello, next day i go to walmart on chapel hill rd (54) and saw them shopping, spoke to them for like about an hour and ended having dinner at there apartment, nice to see your own people and share your culture.

went to the triangle mall on saturday and bumped into a dominican lady handing out business cards, i asked her if there's a lot of dominicans here in Raleigh and she said yes, they are quite a bit, she also said theirs a Caribbean restaurant thats own by a dominican lady on millbrook blvd.
