More pluses for NC
Fastest-Growing City: Raleigh, N.C.
Change in Population, 2000-2008: 36.6%
The "research triangle" of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill has long given some vigor to the economy of North Carolina, with Duke and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill leading employment in the area. As student populations grow and more choose to stay in the area after graduation, the city has risen to first place by increase in population from 2000-2008. All of this is good news for Democrats, as the city of Durham has voted for the democratic candidate in every presidential election since the town's founding in 1869.
3rd Biggest Increase in Wages: Durham, N.C.
Change in Average Weekly Wage, December 2008 — December 2009: 9.5%
Comparing cities by the increase in wages they experienced between December of 2008 and 2009 sees Durham (part of the same broader community of Raleigh and Chapel Hill, N.C.) also doing well. With almost a 10% increase in the average weekly wage from December of 2008 to the same time a year earlier, Durham has seen a population increase occur along with rising wages.
Good news for any city struggling with providing for its residents during a recession, Durham has seen a significant increase in unemployment recently, which will surely dampen the city's rapid growth in recent years.

That's so funny, because I am the complete opposite. My husband said he wanted to go home (to Lejeune) last night. I told him we are home.

New Bern is supposed to be one of the best cities in the country to retire in. I keep telling DH if we move back that's where we are living. Screw Jacksonville.

Re: More pluses for NC
My parents like this house...it has went down something like 200,000 since 2008 but the fact that there are steps in front and back would mean they would have to put in a elevator for when they get older.
