20 Signs You’re From Raleigh North Carolina

From the good deep fried food to the gut wrenching ACC tournament, read on for 20 signs you’re definitely from Raleigh North Carolina.

1. “GO PACK”

Even if red isn’t your team you’ll hear it anywhere you go: out to eat, your neighbors, at the grocery store, and you’ll probably end up cheering for them because they’re right down the road from you and always on TV.

2. You’ve probably been to the Biltmore for a field trip either in grade school or even in high school.

3. The ACC tournament tears apart families and friends.

Dark blue? Light blue? Red?? State is 10 minutes away, Duke and Chapel Hill are only 40 minutes away and everyone feels very strongly about which color they bleed and isn’t afraid to break relationships for their team this time of year.

17. I bet half your high school said this Senior Year: “I’m going to Wake Tech but I’m going to transfer to State.”
