The only time I was in Raleigh was when my flight to VA was grounded for a blizzard when I was going to visit my son. We stayed in a hotel, but I do remember how pretty the drive to and from the airport was, even with snow on the ground.

I think I could live in TN. But not in Jackson Hole. It's 0!!! degrees there right now. Ugh!

Anyway, I'd better head out. I've watched several shows and now have a headache and my eyes hurt. See ya tomorrow for the quiz. Yay!

Raleigh was a great city in the ‘70s when I lived there. Large enough to offer a lot in the way of entertainment but it had a small-town feel to it as far as people being friendly.
The Research Triangle Park destroyed it by bringing on people from all over to work in the different industries built there and I was more than ready to leave when I did. It grew way too fast. I’ve been back once since I left and didn’t recognize it. It was awful.

The countryside around it is very pretty - similar to this area. What was really nice was a couple hours drive to the east and you’re at the ocean. A couple hours west and you’re in the mountains. Great for weekend get-aways either way.

It can get a bit toasty here at times during summer but not as bad as GA, where you’ve lived before. It really is nice having 4 seasons and having so much greenery .... aaaaaaah. I could never live in the desert - not due to the heat but due to the lack of “green”.

As for Jackson Hole, I’m with you. NOPE! LOL

Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow for the quiz.
