Celebrating the Canes

The pilot was kind enough to keep us posted on the hockey game during the flight. Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes for winning the Stanley Cup!

So when I heard the news, I tried to picture where everyone gathered to celebrate. Hillsborough Street is too small. So is Moore Square. What does that leave? The fairgrounds? The RBC Center? Boooor-ing!

Then it occured to me that Dorothy Dix park would be perfect – a huge open space with a stunning view of the city. It really could be Raleigh’s Central Park. If only our leaders have the foresight to make it happen.
