Consider Durham, NC as a Place to Live

"...consider Durham. It’s NC’s most ethnically-diverse city. It’s unique in that it was once a very blue-collar industrial town, but has transformed into a modern city based on medical and technology economies. (This is home to the famous Research Triangle Park.) It’s also known to have the best fine dining in the state."
