An in-depth article about rock clubs in Raleigh and how they are dealing (or not dealing) with the downtown environment. It brings up issues that clubs in other towns also face.
The Independent: Music: Rock & Roll Quarterly: Raleigh rockonomics: Keep the beat: "Rock clubs aren't part of conventional city planning, but they should be, even in conservative Raleigh. Economically and culturally, these clubs power the engine of the urban culture the city says it wants to create. And the clubs in Raleigh are contributing to a Triangle-wide music scene that's one of the most innovative and successful in the country. Several of these clubs have been around for more than five years, a remarkable accomplishment for small businesses operating on slim margins. They contributed early on to the rebirth of downtown, without taxpayer-funded financial incentive packages or big promotion budgets."
