919 | NOTES Publisher Suzy Beth Sarver Graphics Tyler McElhaney Louwra Marais Deidri Ottesen

Celebrating the Sound of Music Dear friends in the 919: We have so much to celebrate with you and so many people to thank. My heart is overflowing with gratitude as I write to you now.

This issue marks four years we have published 919 Magazine in Raleigh, North Carolina. With all the choices and options throughout the U.S. on where to launch a new community-oriented publication, we selected Raleigh because of the people, the places, the business community, the arts and music scene, the restaurants, the technology crowd, and the great teachers and leaders who are making a difference in our communities.

Right here out our back door we have three major universities, a renowned healthcare system and incredible farmers’ markets – and so much greenery and the lushness of our wonderful state. I can find so many reasons to be here, evidence that I truly love the 919!

Scott and I have made lasting friendships along the way and I’m truly grateful for your love and support and input, along with the kind words, new introductions and the sharing of your stories with us. There are so many people to thank, it would be difficult to fit it all in here – so allow me to thank everyone who, in whatever way, has been a part of 919 Magazine.

As we go to press with this exciting May/June editions – our 105th issue – we also share another favorite reason to love the 919: The music!

Production Preston Reins Jenny Smith Allison Neal Marketing Eddie King Maranda Duff Photography Catherine Davis of SD Portraits Contributors Buffy Mac G. Cleveland Kilgore Tildon Dunn Web and IT Support Drago Bratic Robert Sherwood

“Where words fail, music speaks.”

- Hans Christian Andersen Our 2nd Annual 919 Music Festival is Sunday, May 22, in North Raleigh, and we have everything you need to come out and support our first responders in the 919. Be sure to check out the information beginning on Page 58 – and get all the details on hours, parking, band bios andwho will be there with us. Be there and support our first responders and the American Red Cross.

Also in this issue, don’t miss these features that represent how high­growth areas of the 919 are dealing with the related complications of a rapid increase in population: • On Page 66, Rolesville Mayor Frank Eagles reviews how the fastest growing town in North Carolina is preparing for dealing with the prospect of doubling in size within the next decade.

• On Page 76, Morrisville’s dedication and planning to resolve its growth­related transpotation problems is explored.

Finally, as we celebrate moms, dads, and grads this season, it’s a great reminder to reflect on all that is family, what makes each celebration more joyous, and each occasion more special: The times we have together, and the memories we are making.

Thirty years ago this month, I too was a high school graduate, strutting across the stage, confident about where I was headed. Our class motto from my yearbook: “Enjoy this day, this moment, this time with all of its particular pleasures... for it will never come again.”

FELLOWSHIP AND FUN! Senior Club Members Bring Excitement Every Tuesday To Busy Brier Creek Center

by G. CLEVELAND KILGORE 919 Magazine Writer

Every day is busy at the Brier Creek Community Center, but Tuesdays can be especially bustling.

That’s because the Brier Creek Senior Club members gather every Tuesday for fellowship, fun, learning and growth. “We have a focus for each meeting, starting with the first Tuesday of each month to plan activities, followed by lunch at a local restaurant,” said Gladys Santiago, club president.

The second Tuesday is always an activity or speaker on topics of interest to the group, ranging from participating in a yoga class to learning about the “A Note in the Pocket” organiza919 Magazine

tion, which helps clothe underprivileged children for school. “A lawyer has spoken on issues related to estate planning, wills, probate process, etc., which was very helpful to the group,” Santiago said. “We fill stockings for the Salvation Army each year and participate in the Coat Project and other causes.”

Santiago said the third Tuesday is usually a trip to a local place of interest. “Recently we visited the African American Complex Museum and the North Carolina Museum of History,” she said. “And the fourth Tuesday is a club favorite: Bingo!” she said. “This is always a lot of fun for our group. In

months with a fifth Tuesday, we plan a choice of games or cards to play. And we have an annual cookout each June, and an annual Christmas party.”

The City of Raleigh’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources sponsors and hosts the club, which met for the first time in September 2006 after a Brier Creek Community Center survey showed interest and need for additional “Active Adult Programming.” And Santiago believes the club meets that need.

“I think our group meets a need for socialization, personal growth and friendship for seniors in the area,” said Santiago, indicated that expansion and MAY/JUNE 2016

‘Playgrounds and fun – it’s all we do.

We are dedicated to physical family fun!’

CAROLYNNE BARRS Woodplay of the Carolinas

Woodplay of the Carolinas’ owners believe in families playing together to develop lasting, healthy memories that are beneficial – both physically and emotionally.

That’s why in 1998 they became the first retail location for the company, maker of redwood play sets since 1975.

“We believe in families playing together to develop lasting, healthy memories that are beneficial physically and emotionally,” said Carolynne Barrs, who owns the Lumley Road facility with her husband, John and their two children, April and Taylor – who both work full-time at the company.

“All of the products that we sell come with excellent warranties and will last for decades of high use from all family members,” Barr emphasized. “Our mission is to provide the best service and products to every customer, and service them well after the sale.”

Because many customers return year-after-year for different add-ons for their play sets or to graduate to a trampoline or goal, Barrs said they become like family. “We welcome all customers into the store by treating them as family members...our goal is to make all customers feel welcome, while we spend time getting to know them and their children so that we can educate them on 36

our equipment and lead them to the decision that is best for their family. We want to help them fill their backyard with family fun.”

John and Carolynne – who live in Apex – moved to the area due to promotions in their jobs in different fields. Over time, increased travel with their work kept them from enjoying all aspects of their children’s lives, so they decided to purchase a family-oriented business.

In addition to the Woodplay redwood and cedar play sets, their 10,000 sq. ft. showroom just off I-540 and Glenwood Avenue offers top quality swing sets, Springfree trampolines, Goalrilla basketball goals, Slackers zip lines and slackline kits, and much more. “If you’re looking for outdoor fun for the whole family, this is the right place,” said Carolynne, adding that Woodplay of the Carolinas’ long experience provides customers superb information and knowledge of the various equipment and options for a great home outdoor experience.

“We are unique in the Raleigh market because of our longevity, commitment and the variety of quality products we offer,” Carolynne said. “Playgrounds and fun – it’s all we do. We are dedicated to physical family fun!”

2016 Fitness Trends: Time to Try Something New?

by ADRIAN FLEMING Special to 919 Magazine

Every year, the American College of Sports Medicine compiles the top fitness trends. Several health and fitness professionals in a variety of career settings complete the annual survey to list the top 20 – and the trends can help you revaluate your fitness routine, and may even motivate you to try something new!

Among the 2016 trends: • Wearable Technology: Fitness trackers such as Fitbits, Apple Watch, etc., have not only helped individuals gain more steps, but also gain support from others.

You can take part of challenges through the app or create one for yourself.

Adrian Fleming Fitness Director Brier Creek Country Club 9400 Club Hill Dr., Raleigh 919-206-4693 afleming@tollbrothers.com briercreekcc.com

• Body Weight Training: No equipment needed! By taking part of body weight training programs, you can turn any space into a gym. Training with your body weight goes well beyond push-ups, and can be a very inexpensive way to increase activity and strength.

• High Intensity Interval Training (HITT): This incorporates short intervals of high intensity training (15 sec.-2 min.), followed by a rest of recovery period. You can complete a very highly effective workout in as little as 15-30 min.

• Strength Training: A staple to any fitness program to maintain your strength as you age. Use the fifth trend (below) to help you get started for a safe routine that is created for you.

• Educated, certified, and experienced fitness professionals: Of course! You have one body and it should only be entrusted to the people who know it best. A relationship with a fitness professional can help increase your support system and help you work through obstacles.

“As a youth, I did not enjoy my middle school years,” said Livengood, whose new 35-acre North Raleigh Year-Round campus opens in July. “It can be such a difficult age, and I like to think I can help my students have a better experience than I had.”

In fact, Livengood – a 21-year veteran educator – can’t imagine working in any field other than education. “Working with kids keeps me young and energized, especially middle schoolers,” he stressed.

“I get a lot of pleasure from seeing my students and teachers succeed.”

The Goldsboro, NC, native comes by his passion for education honestly.

“I come from a family of educators,” Livengood said. “My mother is a retired 3rd Grade teacher. My deceased father was principal at a school for children with physical and/or mental disabilities. And my grandmother is a retired 5th Grade teacher.”

Of course, then, it’s no surprise that Livengood’s wife, Kathy, is in the family business as well, currently serving as an assistant principal at Banks Road Elementary.

After eight years as principal at East Millbrook Middle School, Livengood jumped at the chance to launch Pine Hollow Middle. “I’m currently having a blast hiring the staff and meeting our new families. Being able to be a part of Pine Hollow and build it from the ground-up is so invigorating,” he said. “Thinking about seeing it all come together and watching the excitement on everyone’s face when we open on July 11 is what really gets my juices flowing.”

What can students and parents expect when they see the new education facility near Leesville Road and I-540? “We will MAY/JUNE 2016

have a three-story academic wing, which will also contain our Career & Technical Education classes along with Health classrooms, Spanish, Visual Art, and several Special Education classrooms,” Livengood explained. “The rest of the campus will house the main administrative offices, the Media Center and cafeteria, along with the gym and auditorium.”

The principal – who has been hands on at the construction site since January – said the architect designed the building to capture lots of natural light and the school has been designed to enable teachers to really bring the “Four C’s” (communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking) to life every day.

“Our furniture will be very different from a traditional middle school. Classrooms will have a combination of round tables with writeable surfaces, rectangular tables, standing-height desks and traditional desks, and chairs,” he said. “All MAY/JUNE 2016

Classrooms will also include several Hokki stools for students who ”need to move a little as they learn,” and some soft seating so that teachers can provide a quiet space (perhaps a reading nook in the corner) for two or three students when needed.

With opening day getting closer, Livengood is quite excited about the challenge he and his team face. “The thought of working with the inaugural staff, our students, and families in order to create our own distinct climate and culture, and to figure out just who we are as a school absolutely gives me goosebumps,” he said. “Pine Hollow will have lots of community and parental involvement and support, and I am humbled to have been given this opportunity.”

Is Mattress in a Box Really a Bargain?

by VICKI ASHLEY

Special to 919 Magazine

Have you seen the new craze in mattresses?

You go online (you don’t even have to go into a store!), choose your size mattress – and a company will ship the mattress right to your doorstep in a box.

You open the box, place what looks like a giant plastic wrapped warped ball on your box spring and cut the plastic open. Within hours you will have a fully inflated polyurethane cushion to rest your body on every night. The company might even offer a full 100 percent money back guarantee if you not pleased with your purchase.

How can you go wrong? Here’s how: The companies who are selling these lower priced foam mattresses in a box are making a lot of money. The money back guarantee is built into the price you are paying for the mattress. They may seem like a bargain, but many of these mattresses are manufactured in foreign countries with few laws about what chemicals can be used in production of products.

Why would you buy something that you spend one-third of your life on that you have not actually seen or felt? Your body needs sleep every night to remain strong and healthy. If you are going to

spend the money on a new mattress you need to feel it, understand it’s benefits and know exactly what materials you are allowing your body to rest on.

This is where we come in: Visit our showroom and let us help you find just the right mattress for your sleeping needs. Often you can buy a much better mattress for less money at traditional retail stores.

919 | MUSIC FEST

he 2nd Annual 919 Music Fest all-day live music event on Sunday, May 22 in North Raleigh features a wide range of highly talented bands this year – including the legendary Band of Oz. A benefit for the American Red Cross, Eastern North Carolina Region – and recognizing first responders and their families in the Triangle – the 919 Music Fest is open to the public and includes live entertainment throughout the day, local vendor booths, food trucks and tents, beer and wine gardens, and more. A special Kids Zone also is planned for the family- and well-behaved pet-friendly event.

This year’s featured entertainment on the 919 Main Stage includes: • Four Founders (genre: mix of southern rock, blues, and North Carolina twang). This Southern quintet provides a refreshing musical mix that keeps the toes tapping.

• Night Shift (genre: classic and contemporary rock). A six-piece band that has performed together for more than 10 years, the high-energy Night Shift performs both classic and contemporary rock music.

• Jason Adamo Band (genre: covers and original songs).

Adamo – a North Carolina based soul/rock oriented singer and songwriter – has toured throughout the U.S. with such artists as Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Hootie and the Bowfish and many more.

• Band of Oz (genre: Motown classics and new hits, along with their signature beach music). Band of Oz was formed in 1967 – and went on the road full time in 1977.

Since that time, the band has made an exceptional name for itself throughout the Southeast U.S. by playing the top clubs and corporate parties, and getting excellent reviews along the way. One of the most successful groups in the region, the band now features a full horn section to total a dynamic eight-member group that was inducted into the North Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame.

Sponsored by Sir Walter Chevrolet, the 919 Music Fest is presented by 919 Magazine and is planned for 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at an open area near 8501 Glenwood Avenue (just south of I-540) in North Raleigh. In addition to providing financial support for the local American Red Cross chapter, the special event will provide opportunities to recognize and pay tribute to police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, military personnel and National Guard and their families.

“We are thrilled to bring such an exciting lineup of live music to the region,” said Suzy Beth Sarver, publisher of 919 Magazine. “Not only are these highly successful performers, but all are committed to putting on a high-energy show in support of a wonderful organization – the local chapter of the American Red Cross – that provides support, shelter, food,

THIS YEAR’S TALENTED LIVE MUSIC LINEUP:

Four Founders

fourfoundersmusic.com Four Founders is a stimulating mix of modern blues and swampy southern rock that mainstream music has been missing for decades. “Whiskey Days,” the group’s debut EP, crosses genres between blues, rock, and country to create a unique and organic compilation that any listener can enjoy. With Garland Mason leading the band with his twang-ladened vocals, and joined by David Healy (guitar), Evan Bost (keyboard), Chris Ruggero (bass), and Sean Steigerwald (drums), the Four Founders brings the timehonored sound of North Carolina music into the present.

Night Shift

facebook.com/NightShiftBandRaleigh How many bands can say they’ve known each other for over 10 years? Night Shift is more than just a cover band. Composed of six long-time friends, Night Shift combines a provocative funk with old school classics – providing an invigorating experience that listeners and concert-goers never forget.

Jason Adamo Band Band of Oz

bandofoz.com The Band of Oz is a dynamic eight-member group that combines sounds of the old and new – playing hits by Motown artists, Chicago and current chart toppers, all with the laid back ease of East Coast beach music. Originally formed in 1967, the band is currently working on a new CD, and still traveling up and down the East Coast during the busy spring and summer seasons.

jasonadamomusic.com When a talented five-piece band of musicians ditched gimmicks and masks to create honest, unpretentious, and full-bodied music, the Jason Adamo Band was born. Starting with the man himself, a truly soulful singer with inspired lyrics and a raspy falsetto, and the addition of Doug Casteen (lead guitar), Alex McKee (bass), Fabio Consani (harmonica, acoustic guitar), and David Littlejohn (keyboard), the band comes to together to infuse a brotherly vibe that puts a new spin on Adamo’s classic soul. The band, along with Adamo’s Joe Cocker-like grit and heart, has the ability to take a captive audience from an engaged silence to a floor-stomping, rollicking good time.

Red Carpet Rendezvous Supports Wake County Seniors The 2016 Red Carpet Rendezvous in April at North Raleigh’s North Ridge Country Club successfully supported the effort to make a big difference in the lives of seniors and adults with disabilities in Wake County.

Featuring signature cocktails, fabulous auction items, dinner, dancing to music of the decades and the legendary wall of wine, the Rendezvous also spotlighted heartwarming stories of care receivers and their caregivers woven into the program throughout the evening.

“Our annual gala has the biggest impact on our ability to serve Wake seniors and adults with disabilities,” said Lynn Templeton, Center for Volunteer Caregiving Executive Director and member of Wake County’s Aging Network. “With the funds raised during this year’s gala we will be able to grow our volunteer base through expanded recruitment efforts aimed at multi-generational volunteers.”

Title sponsor of this year’s event was WakeMed Health, a longtime corporate supporter whose employees have been actively volunteering with the Center since its founding — and noted author, Jay Izso, served as emcee.

The Center for Volunteer Caregiving is a private, nonprofit organization providing services through one of three main service areas:

TOWN

Rolesville is North Carolina’s Fastest Growing Town, But What if Population Doubles Again Within Next 10 Years?

MAY/JUNE 2016

919 | PERSONALITY PROFILE

by By G. CLEVELAND KILGORE 919 Magazine Writer

Thirty-five short years ago, 381 people called Rolesville home. Ten years later, the town had skyrocketed to 577. A miniexplosion in the following decade saw the local population nearly double to 907.

The citizens of Wake County’s secondoldest town had no idea what was to come.

“Over the past 10 years, Rolesville has been in the top five municipalities in North Carolina in growth, percentage wise,” said Mayor Frank Eagles, first elected to office in 2007. “If you look at the population growth between 2000 and 2010, Rolesville grew 317 percent. If you look between 2000 and 2015, Rolesville grew 569 percent. According to the state’s data, no other municipality grew 569 percent in that time period.

Hence the often-heard, often-read phrase, the “Fastest Growing Town in North Carolina.” With that growth, Rolesville faces a wealth of opportunities – and plenty of issues resulting from its popularity and multiple changes. From stress on municipal services to the need to plan for future needs of a fast-growing community, Rolesville stands at a pivotal position in its long history.

Now comes a new analysis that affirms what many town officials – and local real estate agents – already knew: This is likely only the beginning.

“Rolesville is a small suburban town with big growth potential, in an area known for its strong regional economy and prime positioning,” according to the Realtor.com website, which ranked the town as seventh in its list of the 10 fastest-growing areas in America. “These areas/neighborhoods are slated to grow even faster – and are places where job opportunities abound, new households are forming, and new homes are being built to meet the growing demand. Places that are, in every sense, booming.”

Such analyses are not a surprise to Eagles, Town Manager Bryan Hicks and the town staff, but they are nonetheless sobering – due to the strains on the community’s infrastructure. “For example, people 919 Magazine

And he added that the Town of Rolesville has spent many hours putting plans in place that will guide the projected growth. “We are currently wrapping up projects to update our Future Land Use Plan, Transportation Plan, and Open Space & Greenway Plan,” Eagles said.

All of which will help guide future residential and commercial development and keep the small town community personality, and allow for adding town staff and more services as the tax base grows. Plus, Eagles sees real advantages to the growth.

“Popularity brings more great people to the community,” he stressed. “With population growth, our community can expand its programs and not become stagnant.”

Is Your Head Really on Straight?

by JULIA WILKINS DC, BCAO Special to 919 Magazine

Atlas Orthogonal is a chiropractic technique that focuses on the uniqueness and importance of the upper cervical spine, specifically the atlas.

The atlas, which weighs only two ounces, is the first bone of the spine (C1). Above it sits the head, weighing 8-12 pounds – and below it is the continuation of the spine. This unique relationship allows the head to have all its motion. It also makes the atlas very vulnerable to misalignment.

Any bump or trauma, including being born, can create a misalignment between the skull, atlas and spine. If the heavy head is put off the center of gravity, your body responds by realigning your body underneath the skull. One shoulder drops, Julia Wilkins DC, BCAO Chiropractor 152 Capcom Ave, Ste 104 919-554-8989 atlasfamilychiro.com

the pelvis moves and your hip raises on one side, creating a short leg. This leads to unbalanced, all over muscle tension.

The atlas area also connects the brain to the body. If there is a misalignment at the base of the skull, it is likely that the brain is having difficulty communicating to the rest of the body. There are important blood vessels that run through the atlas which affect blood flow to the head and brain. Patient care starts with a consultation and exam to determine if you are a candidate for this specific technique. Then x-rays are taken for a precise, gentle adjustment.

Dedication Boosts Morrisville’s Efforts To Improve Town’s Transportation Woes

by TILDON DUNN 919 Magazine Writer

Benjamin Howell very much enjoys working to improve the quality of life for the residents of Morrisville.

And that’s a good thing for the community, suffering local transportation woes for years due to rapid population growth and major roadways primarily maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

“I find my job very rewarding, and enjoy working with the other town staff, citizens and Morrisville Town Council to continue improving the quality of life in town,” said Howell, Morrisville’s Transportation Planner for more than three years. “The Town Council and staff are continuously working to improve the transportation network and congestion in Morrisville, but it is difficult since many of the roads in Town are maintained by the state. We have worked hard to maintain relationships with NCDOT, and have seen a lot of success.”

Howell noted that the town is slated for more than $90 million in road investments by NCDOT over the next 10 years. In addition, Morrisville is funding some vital road improvements, such as the McCrimmon Parkway Extension and the engineering and design for improvements to Morrisville-Carpenter Road.

Still, the biggest issue is the fact that the most-congested roads in town are maintained by the state NCDOT – and the cost of many of the needed improvements is beyond the ability of Morrisville to fund. “For example, improving NC Highway 54 between Weston Parkway and McCrimmon Parkway is expected

to cost more than $30 million,” Howell said. “The town’s entire annual operating budget is only approximately $27 million per year; however, we continue to work with NCDOT to get our transportation issues addressed.”

The Town of Morrisville also works with the regional transportation planning agency – the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization – to get state road projects in the town prioritized through the NCDOT process and placed in the NCDOT State Transportation Improvement Program.

“Generally speaking, it will take anywhere from five to 10 years to take a transportation project from concept to construction, depending on the size of the project and amount of environmental and other considerations involved,” said Howell, a Raleigh native and graduate of East Carolina University. “Projects such as grade separations involving railroads usually take longer, due to coordination with the railroads.”

Howell brings significant experience to Morrisville. Following college graduation, he worked as a County Planner in Montana, was the Planning and Community Development Director for the Town of Plymouth, NC, and worked as a county planner in Chatham County, NC. He is a Certified Planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners, as well as a North Carolina Certified Zoning Official.

“I have more than 10 years of experience in the planning field, and was recently elected as Vice President of Chapter Development for the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association,” said Howell. “This past fall, I was chosen to attend the Local Government Federal Credit Union Leadership Fellows Program at the UNC School of Government in Chapel Hill.”

With such a background, Howell is realistic about the work still to be done to improve Morrisville’s transportation issues.

“Traffic and congestion in town may get worse at times due to the amount of road construction, but the Town of Morrisville is and will continue to work hard to limit the disruptions during construction,” he said. “Most of all, we ask for everyone to be patient during the construction of these projects.”

Community Welcome Slated For New Police Chief June 13 Town of Morrisville plans a community welcome and reception for new Police Chief Patrice Andrews on Thursday, June 16.

Andrews, currently a Commander in the Criminal Investigations Division with the Durham Police Department, was selected from a field of more than 70 candidates. She was identified as one of the top candidates during a comprehensive assessment center process conducted in March.

“Patrice has a well-rounded set of skills that make her the right person for this job,” said Martha Paige, Morrisville Town Manager. “Her strong base of police knowledge and experience, combined with her commitment to open communication with town officials and staff, and more importantly within the community, convinced me that she was the right person for the job. She is eager to embrace the community and the people she serves, both internally and externally. She is the right choice to lead the Morrisville Police Department.”

Andrews holds a BS in Criminal Justice from North Caro-

lina Central University and graduated from the West Point Leadership Academy in 2011. She brings almost 20 years of experience to the Morrisville position and recently graduated from the 263rd session of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, VA. “I am extremely honored to have been chosen as the next Chief of Police for the Town of Morrisville,” said Andrews.

“Morrisville is one of the top places in the State of North Carolina to live and work and the Morrisville Police Department is one of the premier law enforcement agencies in our area. I am looking forward to working side by side with residents of this community, the men and women of the Morrisville Police Department, and town officials and staff.”

Andrews replaces Interim Chief Felicia Sykes on June 6.

Sykes served in the interim role after Ira Jones retired last year after 11 years as chief.

Visit townofmorrisville.org for additional details on the reception for Andrews.

Transportation technology provider TransLoc – along with partners GoTriangle and Uber – launched a pilot of TransLoc Rider mobile app with Uber in Durham in March, designed to help people get to and from the bus stop with ease to make transit more accessible.

With TransLoc Rider, users simply enter their destination to get the best route, one that combines walking, transit and Uber. The app makes the experience seamless; it even hails and books the Uber.

TransLoc and GoTriangle kicked off the pilot in Durham style with the help of Durham’s Mayor William V. Bell, chair of the GoTriangle’s Board of Trustees.

#5 Raleigh Ranks

According to new research commissioned by staffing firm Robert Half and conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit, Raleigh ranks fifth in the nation as the best destination for career-oriented professionals among 25 large U.S. metropolitan areas studied.

The city’s projected population growth, coupled with high quality of life and relatively low cost of living, helped it reach the number five spot. In addition to Raleigh, Seattle, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., ranked among the top five cities overall.
