Raleigh, NC
Cary, NC
Durham, NC
From it's tobacco industry heritage, through a
post-industrial decline in the past few decades, the
Bull City is currently undergoing a renaissance. Old
tobacco warehouses are being converted to trendy
downtown lofts, restaurants and boutiques. Home to
both Duke University and the Durham Bulls baseball
team, this city provides both southern charm and
ethnic diversity.
Chapel Hill, NC
Chapel Hill is the home of the University of North
Carolina, the first public university in the nation,
founded in 1776. The town of Chapel Hill actually
grew around the University, making the entire town
very much a "college town." Sometimes referred to
as "The Berkley of the East", Chapel Hill is known for
diversity, liberal community, and Tar Heel sports.
Less known outside the area, it is also the home of
what's considered by many to be the best fried
chicken in the Triangle, at Mama Dips traditional
country cooking restaurant.
