Given that Wake Forest (the University, as opposed to Wake Forest the town) has been in Winston-Salem for the last 53 years, and given that Winston-Salem is over 100 miles from the Containment Area for Relocated Yankees, aka Cary (sorry, I couldn't resist ), I'm not sure how you get there in 30 minutes.

I live in Cary...well right on the Cary/Apex border. Wake Forest (the town, not university) is about a good 45 minute or 1 hour drive away. A friend of mine lives there...and I only get to see her every so often because of how far away she lives. I love it here though! I've lived here most of my life, and I call it home!

I forgot to mention Jackson and Mobile.

Mobile is one of my favorite places in the South, weirdly enough. I suggest checking it out if you want to live near the ocean.

I'm not sure what my infatuation with Jackson is, but it's also a great town.

Beautiful beaches and Mardi Gras!

I remember when most of what is now Cary was farmland. (Yikes, I'm getting old. ) I just never can resist a dig at the "newer" Cary.

As for Wake Forest, the older buildings of what is now Southeastern Baptist Seminary were originally the buildings of Wake Forest College. And I'm sure you'll agree that you can't get to Wake Forest University in 30 minutes, which is what StateFratMaster said.

I just had to at this statement. 45 min-1 hour is too far to visit a friend? Yikes. It's obviously cause I've lived here in El Paso for so long but i'd love to be close that close to a city (and Las Cruces does NOT count). I get excited when I get to Tucson in 4 hrs. lol
