One of our readers emailed today that Mayor Meeker apparently believes he is Mayor of Downtown Raleigh only.

I can feel his pain.

I sometimes feel that the only news out of the City Council revolves around downtown.

(This week, the two architects on the City Council expressed their dislike for the “vocabulary” of the new RBC building downtown. What does that mean?)

All the time, I read about the new Fayetteville Street. I remember the old Fayetteville Street, before they decided to make it a mall.

I read another story about how costly condos are downtown.

Is this a function of the City Council – or The News & Observer’s coverage of the Council?

If they don’t watch out, the next city election may be the Rest of Raleigh vs. Downtown.
