Personally, I think the best looking women are at Target . I was watching one of my new favorite shows tonight, Heroes, and was it just me, or did they mention our great city of Raleigh? Something about the National Science Center in Raleigh. Most likely a fictional creation, but it was pretty cool to be mentioned on one of the highest rated tv shows. And not just Barney making a weekend trip to Raleigh with Thelma Lou.

Was this Forbes issue in reference to the article in the N&O today, that Raleigh is ranked #1 in the Forbes annual "Best Places for Business and Careers"? The horors, awards, and high rankings on every census and survey keep rolling in. I just read last week in the TBJ that Ralegh was ranked 4th in careers for recent college grads, behind Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Wahington, DC, although the numbers in the poll looked like Riverside, CA was ahead of us also. My mother-in-law leaves in Phoenix (Scottsdale actually) and works in banking, so she is always reading the business reports. She commeneted last year that everytime she picks up a publication to see where Phoenix is at, Raleigh (or Cary or RDU) is always on the list somewere in the top 10. Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Charlotte are consistantly ranked also, ie. fastest growing metros. Can it be just about the warm weather?

I believe that is the bus that takes us from one end of the city named "Raleigh-Durham" to the other, as Katie mentioned several times. I don't think I hate anything more than when everyone calls us Raleigh-Durham as though we are one city, unless they are taking about the region as a whole.
