Default Nexus: Research Park Triangle, North Carolina

There is quite the concentration of companies in this area. (What do they do??!)

Research Triangle Park (RTP) is the largest research park in the United States.[1] It is located near Durham, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill, in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina. A small part of the Park stretches into Wake County, but the majority of the land is in Durham County.

Default Re: Nexus: Research Park Triangle, North Carolina

This research park was begun in the 1960's when IBM moved their operations from upstate New York to Durham, NC. It has steadily grown over the years. UNC, NCSU & Duke U. are all located within only a few miles. This area of the country has the greatist concentration of PH.D's per capita than any other place in the US.

I'm sure some nefarious things transpire, but, they have to do them somewhere, right?
