OLD RALEIGH vs. NEW RALEIGH
From "Raleigh: A Living History"

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:

Your azaleas are at least three feet high.

You remember Hurricane Hazel.
You know that a toboggan is a hat and not a sled.

You're NEW RALEIGH if:

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.
