Do you know Raleigh-Durham has the most intelligent residents in US??


I just found out Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill has the most intelligent residents in the nation!!
According to The Daily Beast, Raleigh Durham is the smartest city in the nation!!! I am so thrilled cause I always know Triangle area is the Best place to raise family, to do business, to work, to retire, to invest..e.t.c


Metro Area Population: 1,578,527
Daily Beast IQ Score: 170



Raleigh-Durham has just about every intangible useful in attracting and developing a smart populace: It's a university hub, including two of the nation's elite schools (Duke and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), and those schools led to one of the nation's great technology incubators (Research Triangle). On top of that, Raleigh, as the state's capital, attracts engaged political minds, as well. "We are fortunate to have great universities in Raleigh-Durham and great ‘smart' industries that enrich our community greatly," Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker told The Daily Beast. Enrichment enough to top our list.
Congrats and this is the most meaningful award to Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill cause this is a confirmation to all the people who moved here that you made a very SMART decision!!

Which bank has the best customer services in Triangle?

I spent my whole morning to deposit lots of check for my company, my clients, the closing attorney and my investors and so I went to Captial Bank, Bank Of America. Wachovia, Suntrust Bank and I felt I can share my thought with you.
I can tell you I enjoyed the most when I went to Capital Bank cause they always had fresh cookies and coffee and tea or even hot chocolate ready for you. They also offer 4.01% on my checking account which you cannot bet their rates and their services.
Then, I had to deposit the earnest money check in the attorney trust account at Wachovia bank, which they still offer bottle of water and chips.
I drove to the Suntrust and then Bank of America...I had to tell you that I love Capital Bank the Best not because their cookies and coffee. It is the philosophy behind their business to treat you like their friends...always made you feel welcome!
