RTP-area local music and culture

["Tom" <dunder AT nc.rr.com>]

The architecture river cruise  is marvelous, and there is a bar on the boat. 
Be sure to stroll Millenium Park, right downtown, to experience the Cloud 
Gate (locals refer to it as the Silver Bean), Plensa's unbelievable Crown 
Fountain, and Gehry's amphitheatre.  Who'd a thunk it, an American city 
building a brand new, downtown, 25 acre park in this day and age, when they 
could of put up a few more souless skyscrapers?
