RTP-area local music and culture

[mike AT mysterycircuits.com]

I used to live in Greenville 10 years ago. My band at the time (Javier
and the Cabana Boys) used to play at Backdoor Skatepark a lot. There
were a lot of house party shows too, but the cops would always bust
them after a few songs. We played at Peasants a few times, and the
Attic once.
Did they ever pave over downtown? Last time I was there (7 years ago
exactly) there was talk of ECU buying downtown to build parking and
get rid of the EZU reputation. I think that same time they said cops
could open any car door that appeared to be unlocked. Ah good ole
Greenville.
