Ghosts Available For Haunting -
10/5/2022I have lived in Raleigh for four decades. most of my life. I used to love Raleigh beyond words. I was proud of Raleigh and now, in 2022 and now I am thinking about moving far away. All the things that made it a great place to live are no longer, almost anything that had local flavor or history is gone, even places that were new and helped revitalize the downtown area are gone. Most have been pushed out by developers, house flippers and bland.transplants hoping for a beige life. All these beige souls moved in doves into areas where there was lively nightlife, dining and but they demanded a quiet city, a city without city things. Generic suburbia, but with high rises. These things once existed, I know because I was part of it. Music venues, theaters, restaurants, galleries all the things that make a city fun and vibrant are gone. as well as those who were the creatives behind it all. All the fun has been drained, all the culture purged..We once were a welcoming, friendly place, and now, you will likely find, if you do encounter a local like myself, that we are not too welcoming as there is non longer anything left for us to share. Nothing. Now if you want a generic, bland city, well come on down. We would love to show you some Southern Hospitality, but see it got flipped and someone made some money off it. Want some good home Southern food, local music and theater? Yeah, well that got knocked down and is a condo with that same store that is in your hometown.
