Here’s a photographic recap of the events of the second annual Raleigh Wide Open held in downtown Raleigh on Fayetteville Street. It didn’t seem as crowded as last year, but I’d still rate it as a success. Most people were probably still at home typing “Eddie Money” into iTunes to try and remember what song he sang back in the 80s.
Still people packed into Fayetteville Street.
Hargett and Fayetteville.
RBC Plaza should be appear complete at this time next year.
People eagerly await…Eddie Money.
Police begin to clear the road for the parade.
Biking, walking… Segwaying.

Deja vu from last year’s Wide Open.
I think I can make it around this turn.
More waiting for the fireworks.
Fayetteville Street looked good.
George Washington had the best view for the fireworks.

Raleigh should have more fireworks downtown.
Definitely not as packed as last year.
