You'd be better off and more thrifty in Garner or Clayton...

There are too many yankees or jerks like g5jamz in Raleigh...

(I'm in Clayton btw)

Oh Christ no....

If you want a night like go live in downtown Raleigh. Or go live up off Glenwood near 540.

Those outside towns will make you want to kill yourself

I would honestly start looking at Garner... It is basically South Raleigh, and if you get somewhere near White Oak, you are right at 40...

North Raleigh is probably going to be out of your price range unless it is a bad neighborhood, and the traffic there is hell (Capital Blvd., 540, etc.)...

Downtown would be out of the question for that price range if you are looking to stay in a decent neighborhood...

Boo to Garner.

Go with the Cary area. I don't know where you live now- if it is Charlotte, be prepared for a major disappointment with the downtown in Raleigh.

As far as places to avoid- you know them when you see them. One joke I was told a few months ago that I think rings particularly true:

What is the bad part of Raleigh?

Durham.

Avoid Durham like the plague. Even if you live in the "nicer" parts of Durham, the trash from the rest of Durham will still find its way into your life.

I live in Garner...but it's an easy commute to downtown. Unfortunately I work in RTP and in the Piedmont area...

Avoid Shaw University area.

Avoid around Garner High, Gorman Road, and some parts in southeast Raleigh. There are some newer apartment complexes off of Tryon road (runs parallel to I-40 on the southern I440 segment). Being in downtown, you'll be competing with NC State students trying to get good deals in that price range. My answer...avoid.

Over off of Blue Ridge/Rex Hospital area...close to Olde Raleigh, there are some apartment complexes that are in walking distance to shopping...quick commute downtown...near the RBC center/fairgrounds for events and just outside the immediate NC State area. Typically a lot of yuppies...but still very safe to feel like you can walk around. I have absolutely NO clue on costs.

North Raleigh is pricier. As someone mentioned...avoid Capital Blvd/Mini-city area too.

There are some awesome bar districts in downtown Raleigh...I just don't think your price range will get you anything much, but it's worth looking at. Areas around Cameron Village might work...or the creamery district (bars/restaurants). Avoid east of Wilmington St.

Cary is pricey....and too many damned yankees. Downtown Raleigh is quite nice nowadays...a lot has changed.

Garner is a rent district area...but you can find a couple of decent areas. I'm technically in Raleigh...by address, but really close to Garner. More towards Fuquay area.

As as far as Durham is concerned...NO.

He about got it right. Raleigh is a really nice city with a few bad spots. Durham is a really bad city with a few nice spots.

      I think it's more related to the difference between proven talent and projected talent. Our proven talent is quite literally almost nonexistent. Our projected talent could be significantly more. Obviously, it remains to be seen how many DJ Moore's we get and how many TMJ's(not making this position specific, just giving examples of clear progression of careers and talent being realized versus not). This could be an exceptionally terrible, underwhelming, okay, fairly decent, surprisingly good, etc roster. All that has to play out on the field because our known entities in terms of above average caliber NFL players is paltry but most standards. All that digital bloviating to basically say, "Show me." As for Tepper, I genuinely don't think he has meddled that much less and I don't think he has stepped back. I think he just cleaned house of most of the people chirping about it internally while not making himself so publicly visible because he is very aware of the meme he has made himself and this franchise. IMO, he will continue to fug this franchise over because that is who he is as a person.

      Also Walker is a game time decision. He might not be able to play tonight.
