The capital of North Carolina. It can easily be divided by North Raleigh and South Raleigh - the two areas are polar opposites.
North Raleigh - upscale, wealthy, no crime, and there are amazing subdivisions (like Bedford for example), schools, parks, restaurants, and shopping centers. Best area for families. Mainly covers the zip code of 27614.
South Raleigh - ghetto. Lots of crime - people have been shot in broad daylight. Cheaper, lower class. The city's psychiatric hospitals and jail/juvenile/prison are located there. No good schools, bad place for families. A gang issue and delinquents walking around. Covers the zip codes of 27604 and 27610.

Person 1: Hey, I'm looking for a home in Raleigh. South Raleigh's homes are the cheapest.
Person 2: That's because it's a high crime area. Go to North Raleigh, where you won't get shot and you will have friendly neighbors.

a boring little town full of suburbs. dont go there. go somewhere more dangerous like durham or winston salem. you might actually stay awake there. raleigh is full of preps too. people dont like white trash, but id rather be with a whole bunch of beer chuggin mullet wearers than the ibm engineer folks who flooded this town anyday. the white trash here is pretty open minded actually and fun. FUN!
bill: hey lets stop here in raleigh and get something to eat.
bob: or we could stop in smithfield and eat barbecue.
bill: sounds good to me.

A very cunning and heroic person. Most people aspire to be like them or close to them as friends. Known to be thought as sexy in secret by people, oblivious to their thought.

Burgeoning city in the decades long change from sleepy state capital to multi-cultural hub. You'll get good ole country folk in the store or restuarant with folks who came from overseas to study at the local universities or work at RTP. And ya'd better pick a team, be it UNC, NC State, or Dook (preferably one of the first two). We're still adapting to all the folks moving in from up North, and they're welcome so long as they don't tell us how to run things. From the 'burbs to the re-emerging entertainment and retail scene downtown, Raleigh has a lot to offer.
Anne: Why, thank you so much for helping us move in to this lovely home. It was just precious of you.
Elizabeth: Welcome to Raleigh. It would just be un-Southern not to be polite!
