Cary, North Carolina 
The town's reputation as a bedroom community for transplants from outside the South has led to humorous backronyms for its name such as "Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees" or "Containment Area for Relocated Yankees." [1] Some observers have noted this as Cary's crisis of identity, especially when compared with its neighbors in the Research Triangle. Chapel Hill has a reputation as a bastion of liberal academia, Durham as a blue-collar post-boom industrial city, and Raleigh as the state's center of arts and government, but Cary has yet to come into its own identity other than that of a suburban bedroom community, despite or perhaps because of its meteoric rise in population.

What People are Saying!
“The agent you connected to us was very helpful and was very good at staying in touch with us. He sent us all kinds of "stuff" about the location to which we might have been transferred. I would have had no trouble working with him to find just the right home in the new location. Thank you. Should a possible move come up again, I would not hesitate to contact you again.”
