Everyone knows that there are two Raleighs--Old Raleigh and New Raleigh. It used to be that the Beltline separated the two. But nowadays, Old vs. New is more a state of mind than an address. Here's how to tell which one you are:

You're OLD RALEIGH if:

• Your daughter's middle name is her mother's maiden name.
• Your grandfather is buried in Oakwood Cemetery.
• You use the word Yankees even when it's not baseball season.
• You miss shopping at Briggs Hardware, Ivey's and Boylan-Pierce.
• Your azaleas are at least three feet high.
• You belong to the Carolina Country Club.
• You remember Hurricane Hazel.
• You know that a toboggan is a hat and not a sled.

You're NEW RALEIGH if:

• You drink unsweetened ice tea.
• Your grandfather is buried in New Jersey.
• You consider the Civil War to be ancient history.
• You fantasize about running over Old Raleigh drivers.
• You shop at Old Navy, Kohls, Target and Stein Mart.
• You can't wait until they finish the Outer Loop.
• You belong to a health club.
• You remember Hurricane Fran.
• You own boots, ice skates, and a snow blower.
