We’re #1

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, IS AMERICA’S #1 BEST CITY!

Businessweek.com arrived at this stunning conclusion by looking at “a range of positive metrics around quality of life,” including restaurants,  school test scores, and the number of colleges and pro sports teams.  “When we began the process we had no idea which cities would come out on top. The winner? Raleigh, N.C.”

RALEIGH IS NO. 1

Residents of Raleigh aren’t surprised.  In its article, Businessweek.com specifically mentions Research Triangle Park and our many state and private colleges and universities, as well as “ 867 restaurants, 110 bars, and 51 museums,”  Who knew?   We also got points for  12,000+ acres of public parks and the 30,000-square-foot State Farmers Market.

“Raleigh may have a population of only about 400,000 and span about 144 square miles, yet data show it still offers a lot, if only in a smaller package.”
