ANOTHER MURDER IN THE UNWASHED AREA OF DOWNTOWN RALEIGH

Shots fired and police find a dead man behind the Valero Mart on New Bern Avenue.

No need to worry. It's well away from the the special landmarks and hundreds of millions of dollars in public investment in downtown Raleigh.

What makes Raleigh great? A walk with a river or a walk with safety?

Kudos to folks like Octavia Rainey who have been working tirelessly over the years to push our elected officials to do right by the less privileged areas of downtown Raleigh.

But thank goodness Raleigh leaders want a "special landmark."

Personally, I think Raleigh residents would be happy with some more police officers and less shooting.

But that doesn't seem to be where the hearts of Raleigh's illuminati are right now.......
