Tonight it’s quiet in Raleigh. It’s a bit chilly. I like visiting here to see family, and, at the same time, to observe all the changes that have taken place since the last time I was here. Always there are many developments in a short span of time. Highways are being expanded, high-rise luxury buildings are going up, big beautiful homes are being built, small speciality shops and restaurants are opening, and more people coming in to live. I always wonder how the natives feel about all the changes.

Have you been thinking about moving? It seems people from different parts of the world are choosing North Carolina. Your next door neighbor could be from a country you’ve been planning to visit, and suddenly you have a personal guide. Raleigh’s a really clean city. It’s refreshing to get off the plane and find yourself in a friendly, clean, easy-to-navigate-around-airport. Public transportation will have to be revved up if Raleigh’s population continues to increase.
Do you enjoy sports? Whether you’re a player or a spectator you’ll participate because the enthusiasm for sports is contagious here. People are friendly, too. You can depend on old southern charm. There’s more, the Blue Ridge Mountains, a quaint town called Asheville, Black Mountain, the Biltmore Estate and Inn, the wonderful seacoast, Charlotte, and all the towns in between.
