Raleigh's location also opens up a lot of roadtrip options, too: It is just several hours from the nation's capital, the outer bank islands, the Appalachian Mountains, and "big city" events at Charlotte and/or Atlanta. When going to the mountains or beaches, there are the options of exploring something more commercialized (Boone, Wrightsville Beach) or more rural (Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Maggie Valley, etc).
- chucksmash 12y agoAtlanta is only 50 road miles closer to Raleigh than New York City.
- sb8244 12y agoMaybe it's just how I read this sentence, but I think "Raleigh is 50 road miles closer to Atlanta than it is to NYC" cleared things up for me. Regardless, that's a really interesting fun fact I learned today.
- eitally 12y agoThat doesn't mean 50 minutes closer, though. To get to NYC you have to drive up I95 through such fun spots as the whole DC metro.
- madcaptenor 12y agoI'm surprised to see this as well. Alternatively: by road, Raleigh is equidistant from Philadelphia and Atlanta.
