1/10/2012 4:00:27 PM

Hahaha. True story. However, I, good sir, am NOT a yankee.

1/10/2012 4:01:55 PM

how many threads is this now on the same list that came out in September?

1/10/2012 4:03:56 PM

lol, without "yankees" there would be no hockey

you 2 should worship them

1/10/2012 4:06:56 PM

Raleigh's great on paper.

^Reading comprehension fail.

Not wanting Duke and Crapel Hell lumped in with a story about Raleigh isn't reading failure. I get the whole RTP connection; however, none of these schools are really within RTP anyways.

Why

1/10/2012 4:16:21 PM

To get you to start trolling.

1/10/2012 4:17:08 PM

because argyle sweatervest

1/10/2012 4:17:36 PM

I've meant every word I've ever typed

1/10/2012 4:17:46 PM

If it's so great why am I so tired of living here?

1/10/2012 4:18:22 PM

fuck the war of northern agression, let's bring real guns this time!

1/10/2012 4:22:18 PM

So wdprice is like a fat gunzz with better grammar and syntax.

Interesting.

1/10/2012 4:23:37 PM

^^^

Because the mountains suck, the beach sucks, there is no good ethnic food (except maybe Thai), the jobs are all lame and corporate-y, and there is little to do on weekends other than get wasted at the same 2-3 restauranteurs' places.

At least that's why I left.

hey slave ... come to raleigh one weekend and holler at me

1/10/2012 4:26:29 PM

Yeah, I'm seriously considering transferring in 6-12 months. Looking mostly midwest and west with the exception of California. I was actually researching Boise the other day as well as Phoenix...

They call those restaurants.

1/10/2012 4:29:10 PM

Empire Eats, Ashley Christensen, and the a few others for a total of 15+ places with very similar food.

1/10/2012 4:30:42 PM

Beats me

Five years in Raleigh and I never ate anything but Fountain and Snoopy's

One step ahead of you, Slave

1/10/2012 4:32:16 PM

Sadly, I'm with you on this one

They're fucking restaurants





And gunzz, I'm in town in two weeks

I'd love to grab some coffee

1/10/2012 4:36:32 PM

How the hell did Durham make the list?

1/10/2012 4:39:47 PM

durham's not that bad

all i know is i've watched enough burger king beat down videos from oakland to know i dont care what list it's on, it sure ain't in the top cities to live in.

Parts are not that bad. It's turned into a hipster mecca like Brooklyn and you can be in Muir woods or wine country in like 45 minutes.

1/10/2012 4:50:36 PM

Neat.

1/10/2012 5:01:51 PM

1/10/2012 6:10:56 PM

kind of burnt out on Raleigh tbh

1/10/2012 6:13:12 PM

The club pictures leaves me to believe that our nightlife is awful and severely lacking in attractive females

This, Raleigh is about the perfect size for me I don't want it to get much bigger

1/10/2012 6:42:18 PM

whoa...no way Raleigh is #1.

1/10/2012 7:10:56 PM

You under estimate the power of PR. A couple of high dollar bottles of wine, hookers, and nice dinners and your city can be #1 too.

Hatem and Empire has a brilliant marketing machine, and I'm sure they are at least in part responsible for this.

I like all the comments to that article. So many people complaining about why X town wasn't chosen and how it's a tragedy.

1/10/2012 7:52:31 PM

I, too, have a Bali-song.

1/11/2012 1:06:03 AM

I want to live in a city with the car friendliness and affordability of Raleigh and convenience, culture and climate of NYC.

Where is this place?

1/11/2012 8:52:50 AM

i'm going to start voting against Raleigh on shit... its getting time to buy a house again and i don't wanna be way out in bumble fuck.

Raleigh also made #1 in the "gas guzzling cities" list with Charlotte #2 and the Triad #4

1/11/2012 3:05:06 PM

Success frightens me.
