Raleigh Ranked #1 in 2008 by Forbes
Raleigh, N.C., is the best place to be in the U.S. right now. It ranks No. 1 in Forbes’ 2008 list and was also top in 2007 -- consistent placement among these lists is truly rare. It ranks No. 2 in Kiplinger’s list this year (“Raleigh is a work in progress, but 2008 should be the turning point,” Kiplinger notes).
