Introduction

Raleigh is Old South and New South, down-home and upscale, all in one. The city has agrarian roots in both farming and mining, but today Raleigh thrives on high-tech industries, government (it's the state capital), education, service industries, research, and medicine. In addition to North Carolina State, there are six other universities and colleges in town. Thanks to the Triangle area's appearance on a slew of "best of" lists, Raleigh's growth has been rapid, especially in the suburban area known as North Raleigh. In recent years, downtown revitalization has taken off, with new housing, museums, shops, restaurants, and night spots infusing energy and new life into once abandoned buildings. With all the newcomers hailing from colder climates, it seemed only a matter of time before the National Hockey League realized that greater Raleigh would support an expansion team. Hence, the Carolina Hurricanes were born.
