Walter +Addendum

Sir Walter Raleigh used to hang out on the Fayetteville Street Mall - back when it wasn't a street.

Now that Fayetteville Street is once again open to traffic - Walt has moseyed on over to the new Convention Center.

Sometimes he gets dressed up; often wearing a Hurricanes or NCSU jersey. One time I saw him in a chef's outfit when there was some sort of food convention going on.

Also, people will dress him up unofficially. And by people - I mean students / kids.

Driving home today, I noticed he's gone drag. Of course, his poofy balloon pants were always kind of gay anyway.

I don't know if this get up is official or impromptu. Or, it might be left over from KinkyCon held a couple weeks ago.

Addendum

He's dressed up for Komen Race for the Cure.

The street center lines in downtown have been painted pink as well (pink tape actually).
