RTP-area local music and culture

Basically, folks, ain't none of us qualified to read the Cary News.

Chapel Hill is borderline, but Durham?  Heck, Cary was reluctant to name

To be honest, the writer reminds me of nothing more than new writers on a
college paper--the community isn't just like my old town!  So it sucks!
