Comments on: New Raleigh sign welcomes you into Downtown - Scratch that! http://raleighskyline.com/content/2006/12/04/new-raleigh-sign-welcomes-you-into-downtown/ Original Photography from the City of Raleigh, North Carolina by Matt Robinson Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:17:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Robert Sanderlin http://raleighskyline.com/content/2006/12/04/new-raleigh-sign-welcomes-you-into-downtown/#comment-206 Robert Sanderlin Wed, 24 Jan 2007 19:09:17 +0000 http://raleighskyline.com/content/2006/12/04/new-raleigh-sign-welcomes-you-into-downtown/#comment-206 My option on this sign is that it was made, put up, and taken down for one very simple reason. The ABC tv show, Home Edition-Extreme Makeover. When the show was just aired it made a point of showing that sign when the bus came into downtown Raleigh. I think that's all the sign was meant for-IMHO! My option on this sign is that it was made, put up, and taken down for one very simple reason. The ABC tv show, Home Edition-Extreme Makeover.

Second, it is nice to see that someone put a welcome sign for Raleigh. Third, I totally agree with Dux. If they had a sign that said "Welcome to Downtown Raleigh" it would have been more accurate.

Locate the Raleigh welcome mat where locals and visitors do not have to see that pathetic BBT vertical factory in the background. P.S. We put up a ridiculous sign like this, but they cannot spend money on new signs eliminating the word arena and replacing it with RBC Center (what city does not identify the name of their sports venues by "it's name", very few is the answer) I agree with Dux, did our city council spend hours and tax paying dollars discussing this location (not to mention, “What an Ugly Sign”)?

They should have put it where you enter Raleigh's actual city limits, further south. I think its at a stupid location.
