I have some comments and additions to Scott's comments about the Raleigh area...

More positives to add: - less than 3 hours - and a STRAIGHT shot down I-40 - to some really nice beaches - less than 3 hours to the nearest mountainous state parks (Hanging Rock State Park) - tons and tons of great golf courses, and Pinehurst is only an hour south. - closer to Disney World than DC :) Uhmmmm... Atlanta's six hours away, how can Orlando only be four and a half? > > Negatives: > > The ColdFusion market isn't nearly as strong as DC Metro. Truth! There are more Coldfusion jobs in Charlotte, I think. But they don't have an NHL franchise ;) > Lots of fundies Is "fundies" a term for startups? Probably true =) >> lot's o' bible bangers, y'know the folks that spend too much time trying to convince themselves of their own piety. > Pro football is 3 hours away Yes, but pro-hockey is here, the Durham Bulls are awesome and VERY affordable, and the college atmosphere is truly incredible. >>Already been to a 'Caines game... caines fans are downright nice, compared >>to say...Philly (I'm a die hard caps/redskins fan) > Parking in downtown Raleigh kinda sucks Solution: don't work downtown ;) Most of the jobs in this area aren't "downtown" anyway... they're scattered all over, and often in the Research Triangle Park... >>Yeah but the Flying Saucer is downtown.... and I telecommute > Closest zoo is three and a half hours west >What? The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro is barely over an hour from my house, and I only live 15 minutes from Raleigh. >>Didn't know it was that close > Roads north of Wake county suck It does suck to have to drive 50 miles east before heading north when you want to go to Washington DC, doesn't it? >>Ehhh... We're gonna be on the North East side, we can go up 64 to 95... >>when 85 get's into North Carolina it's a bombed out concrete nightmare >>until you hit Wake County. You can also take Capitol Boulevard to 95 >>somewhere south of Richmond Of course, if you're in Durham or Chapel Hill, you just hop on I-85 North. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:238862 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
