[ale] [OT] Life north of ATL?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Research Triangle Park
http://www.rtp.org/about-rtp

An interesting political unit.  It is a "city" except no one lives in it and there are only business campuses in it.   (No gas stations, no restaurants except cafeterias within given campuses, no condos, no apartments, no houses).

Research Triangle is an area of NC so called because it is bounded by Raleigh with NC State, Durham with Duke University and Chapel Hill with UNC.   The state chartered RTP long ago.    Cisco is one of the big technology companies that has a presence there.   GlaxoSmithKline has major campuses there.   (I use the plural because they were a merger of two other pharmaceuticals each of which had a campus).  GSK is so big that all of their stuff didn't fit in RTP - where I worked for them was actually in Durham.   When I worked for Cisco it was actually in RTP.  Other businesses like RedHat are in Research Triangle area but not actually in RTP itself.
