Last year, the Raleigh renewal jerk-off really swung for the fences when that mope called the intersection of Wilmington & Hargett Raleigh’s “budding Times Square.” With THAT level of hubris, you’d expect an exhumed Dick Clark would be coming down to cover the acorn “drop” for 2010 Rockin’ New Year’s Eve or something.
Fortunately, the city’s moved on from comparing apples to acorns. We’re now taking the apple’s ideas! Which is great…who doesn’t love New York?

It’ll look a lot like that, EXCEPT, more beer cans, less people sitting and more people sleeping. That restaurant will close quickly because homeless people won’t want to spend 7 dollars on a Turkey, Avocado, and Bacon Sandwich (nor the pomegranate sweet tea). But there will definitely be a few turtlenecks.
