It's just an annoying convention around here. My best guess is because the street address can be one of 5 or 6 cities (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Wake Forest, Morrisville, Apex, etc) and so people talk in terms of the metropolitan area which is Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill or the "triangle".
