Raleigh is the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the entire country.

Preach!

Facts

Right, regardless the team would never move to Raleigh obviously. It wouldn't make sense to put a Carolina regional team basically on the Virginia border.

I would like to see Raleigh get an MLB team though.

Raleigh is awesome. Spread the word! Everyone looking to relocate to or within NC should absolutely be looking at Raleigh. Western NC is awful. Nothing but hillbillies and meth. Definitely don't move here... uh, I mean "there".

[Shocker]

I thought all the hugs and love tapping was interesting too.  Lotta love going around.  Interesting 

Echoing the Raleigh love (I am from there originally) and with Chapel Hill right next door it’s amazing.  We took the family down to the Virginia game at UNC a few weeks back and it was heaven.  Damn…I love Chapel Hill on game day.

Not really. The Raleigh-Durham-Cary CSA metro area is only a few hundred thousand less than the Charlotte CSA, and it's growing at a faster rate.

It was just a joke. I think that kid has confused NYC and vicinity with the Triangle.

Sorry, Raleigh and Charlotte are not even in the same league. Charlotte is a now bona fide American-style big city (as opposed to global big cities), complete with big city advantages and disadvantages. Raleigh is a medium-sized city that some people prefer to Charlotte because it's not as big yet.

Raleigh will someday be as big as Charlotte is today, and the same people that prefer it to Charlotte today will just move to Greensboro. And by that time, Charlotte may be the size of Dallas or Houston, and people who are vocal will like it less but the numbers won't lie.

There is a stark difference in the crime rate (per capita). Charlotte is rougher than some cities up north.

Raleigh is really getting way too expensive, as is Charlotte. They think we're making NYC money down here. I might have to move deeper into Trump country (which I hate).

[mccjeff]

Wait, so are we saying CJ is moving to Raleigh? I’m so confused.

Raleigh really is the best city in the state. All you'll find in Eastern NC is a bunch of swamplands so if you're coming from up north and looking for a place to settle down you should definitely move to Raleigh instead!

Lol McCown certainly was having a hard time saying good bye. A little awkward. I didn’t hear “maybe when you move to Charlotte.” It was mumbled and hard to decipher, but I don’t think that is what was said.

Cary? The Triangle used to be Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Considering that Cary is a little bit under 3x the size of Chapel Hill, I guess it's the new vertex.  The entire area is one big blob now, spreading out on all sides, especially towards 95.

Yeah, that's just how it's defined now, for whatever reason.
