I think CLT1985 is just a bot that keys off the word "Raleigh" and then seeks out the equivalent Charlotte post at this point. That's my only logical reasoning.
I'm glad someone else noticed, lmao. Seems pretty insecure about his city IMO. Always gotta try to one up

Regarding any sports expansions in the Triangle, may I remind everyone that they would be competing with nearly 160,000 ACC Football and over 50,000 ACC basketball seats to be filled. Pro sports chase those same dollars. Sure, sure, sure that there are hundreds of thousands of residents who aren't fans of these three schools, but still.

Definitely the NBA would not work in Raleigh for that very reason. College Basketball is king there. I do remember some years ago Raleigh wanted an NFL team long before Charlotte got the Panthers. They ended up landing a pro league which was not the NFL. The team was called the North Carolina Skyhawkers or Skyhawks.
Texas-only creative workspace Common Desk has announced it's first location outside of Texas: Raleigh's soon-to-be developed East End Market, a former industrial facility turned mix-use (food, shops, and offices).
Founder and CEO specifically chose Raleigh due to the ticking off all the right qualifications.
Speaking of airports, We’ve seemed to have developed a miniature skyline here.
I thought this shot was cool.
That's right. I forgot the airport is building a new control tower. Remember about 13 years ago a developer had planned to build a 22-story office tower in Greensboro near the airport just off of I-40. It was suppose to have a top floor restaurant and observation roof. It was to be called Triad Tower. But then the Great Recession killed the project.
