A news helicopter watches over a large crowd packing the brand new Fayetteville Street while Mayor Meeker spoke.

Looking down Fayetteville Street.
|
Downtown from the north end of Fayetteville Street.
|
The crowd was pushed back to make way for the parade.
|
“Alright, lets get this parade under way!” … “I thought those apaches would be here any minute.” … “What the heck, they said I wouldn’t miss Seinfeld.”
|
Perhaps they know where they are.
|
Mayor Meeker waits for the flyover.
|
Apache Helicopter approaches Fayetteville Street.
|
I wonder what costs more, the building, the balloon, or the copter?
|
Finally!
|
Raleigh’s finest.
|
Go pack!

I find it funny and ironic that to celebrate the street being reopened to vehicular traffic, they close it to vehicular traffic for pedestrians.
