I didn't take any offense. Cary's a nasty little fascist town these days that no one can (or should) reasonably defend. Case in point: A chain restaurant called Houlihan's opened up a location in Cary a few years back. They had an awning that happened to be striped. Wide stripes, like 3 feet wide, and something innocuous, green and brown, IIRC. It was kinda nice -- certainly not ugly. The Cary city council, or whatever, made them replace the awning with a solid colored one. Apparently, stripes are against the building code or something.... Of course, a year or so later, someone was going to open a tin diner right near there. The city council heard about it and made her change her plans so that it wasn't tin (or steel -- whatever -- you know what I'm talking about -- the kind that looks like an Airstream caravan). Then she built it in metal anyway -- thumbed her nose at the city. Got away with it, too. The downside is that it's since turned into what every other restaurant in Cary is like -- too expensive, mediocre, closes whenever it feels like it, and staffed by debutantes who have no interest in actually providing service.
