interestingly enough, my brother in law was visiting from south africa last year, and said that raleigh reminded him a lot of some vacation town over there.

I did not get this.

I mean, i love raleigh and all, but there's nothing touristy to do here.

Everyone who comes here from anywhere remotely urban always talks about how many trees and parks there are...if you're not a beach person, it's a relaxing little place.

There are a few parks and whatnot, but if your into that, Asheville's a much better nature destination.

Did they lump Pinehurst into "Raleigh"? Cause that I could understand.

Maybe a good cheap way to get to the beach/Outer Banks! But otherwise I don't quite understand it either.

If I hadn't grown up in the area I wouldn't want to come to Raleigh/Durham for vacation. Maybe a stop over on my way to the beach or mountains but thats about it. I had a saying a few years back.

"Raleigh is one of the top places to live but one of the worse places to vacation."

Yea, Raleigh's greatest asset is its closeness to the beach AND mountains, which has nothing to do with raleigh itself.

why would you go to raleigh on vacation?

It's a great place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there.

the science and history museums are talked about on there.
