Google Sets Up Shop in NC

Google recently opened up a new data center here in North Carolina. One might think that Google would be found in RTP, Research Triangle Park, nestled among the other geeks and nerds. However, they aren't in RTP. They aren't even in the Triangle. I know what you are thinking, "Well, if they aren't there, then the have to be in the Triad." Nope. Not there either.

Wanna know where they are? Or, are you still having fun guessing? I'll go ahead and tell you.

The new new Google data center is located in the technology mecca of Lenoir, North Carolina. "Where?!?" You know, "Where the High Country Begins".

Lenoir is located on the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When I think about places like Lenoir, I lump them in with Alamance County, where I grew up. People there still don't even have internet access and some of those that do still use dial-up. My stereotyping my be wrong, but to me it is kind of funny that an internet big wig has set up shop in a place like Lenior, NC.
