Hi Penny, great blog. I work for Fidelity Investments and am a recent relocatee. According to the information I received at the relocation orientation, Fidelity now employs about 3000 people in the Triangle.  Anyway, not terribly important but I wanted to let you know.  Keep up the great blogging!

James - Yes, Raleigh has had significant growth for the past 10-15 years.  What's even better is that the area DID NOT have the crazy appreciation rates of some other parts of the country - it's been slow and steady, and values are still holding.
