Well, obviously that’s a bit of over the top spin from a pr guy, but the underlying sentiment is probably true. Raleigh will try and capitalize on all the publicity from Ashley and others. The restaurant industry is a pretty strong driver of tourism.

Lol. Congrats to Raleigh. I don’t really see Raleigh mentioned when I search on google news for the award, excluding local sites. So not sure being the next Eiffel Tower is realistic.
On their own, I’m not sure how much articles about the Beard Awards will be read by the public at large. Certainly it is exposure in its own right, but the bigger gains will come in a long game as perception and awareness of the Raleigh food scene expands.
Beam rises to the 7th floor. The hotel will be 8 stories tall because the section above the 7th floor that will have the signage will be a story tall. The statue of General Greene, the city's namesake, stands majestically in the middle of the roundabout.
What irks me so much about that statue is that the very plain and basic base is as big as the statue itself, which is actually of modest size but it makes the base look oversized. That throws the proportions off a good deal to me.

I would have loved to have seen a water feature around it instead of flowers.

The one of him standing without the horse is downtown on Greene Street. Wonder if the city ever thought about changing the name of Greene Street to Gen. Nathaniel Greene Street.
Thanks. More great examples of it pretty much not being mentioned at all in the national media. Though these articles I kept seeing DC referred to and a couple other cities.
Buried in the middle of the article, I do see where Raleigh is basking in the glow with national media attention though:

You don’t have to be pedantic just for the sake of being pedantic. Ashley Christensen publicity has been everywhere the last few years (Times Magazine, Bon Apetit, NY Times, etc). It’s not going to get quieter after the Beard.

I was pedantic for the sake of Atown enjoying the national spotlight and this being Raleigh’s Eiffel Tower.
