Raleigh What?

Posted Updated

Back in my radio days in a previous century we frequently referred to people from North Carolina's capital as Raleighites. I don't hear that much anymore. In fact I can't remember the last time I heard "Raleighites" uttered in a broadcast. However, I do read the term occasionally in the newspaper. Is "Raleighite" still relevant? If not what should people from Raleigh be called?

I grew up in Morganton. We were Morgantonians. I live now in Cary. I'm a Caryite. I have a friend in Kinston. He's a Kinstonian.

Where do you live and what are the people in your town called?  Please sign in on this issue.

Let's shoot for 100 comments and the Golo Hot List today in honor of  wral.com managing editor Jodi Glusco who came up with today's blog topic.
