City Links & Accolades
Here's a rundown of who's named us in their top three recently:
Raleigh voted #1 place to live in the U.S. 2008
Raleigh, N.C., it seems, 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).
The city is also Fortune Small Business magazine's current No. 20 place to "live and launch."
