We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
This city combines tech bros with cowboy boots and calls it "authentic Southern charm." NC State gets called "cow college" thanks to its agricultural roots, and the Carolina crowd loves to sneer that it's where the rednecks go when they can't get into UNC, but somehow North Hills managed to build a fake little village that's not actually European but is stuffed with shopping, craft beers, and overpriced restaurants.
Raleigh Beer Garden has hundreds of beers on tap and a Guinness World Record to prove it, because nothing says "we have culture" like having more taps than personality. When your city's biggest cultural achievement is basically being the Costco of craft beer, maybe it's time to rethink your priorities.
Traffic in Raleigh is really not that bad, with the average commute clocking in somewhere in the low twenties of minutes, but locals have the unique ability to make it sound like they're driving in Los Angeles. Nothing screams "small-town mentality" like acting like crossing town is an epic journey worthy of Lewis and Clark.
NC State students hate Carolina with a passion, while Carolina fans shrug and act like the Wolfpack barely registers. Imagine being so irrelevant that your biggest rival literally doesn't acknowledge the rivalry exists. That's like challenging your cool older brother to a fight and him just patting you on the head.
