Raleigh and Durham Among Top 20 Surviving the Recession

This article from Yahoo Finance list 20 cities that are "surviving" the recession better than most. On the list (not surprising to me) are Raleigh and Durham. The author cites technology and higher education as two of the primary reasons. Beyond those details, its interesting to see the other cities on the list...most of which are much bigger than Raleigh/Durham. (Picture of the Durham Athletic Park for you baseball fans)
