RTP-area local music and culture

Hey a.m.c-h'ers, this is Chris Clemmons from Regina Hexaphone.  My wife
and I are contemplating a move to the Chapel Hill area from Raleigh,
and we recently looked at a house we liked in the Northwood
neighborhood (off MLK, between Eubanks and Weaver Dairy Rd).  I was
just wondering if anybody had any sort of impressions of Northwood
and/or the nearby area.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if we do move, I'd be commuting daily to Raleigh (or, hopefully,
car/vanpooling).  Anybody else doing that commute?  Does it suck really
hard?   CAC
