No - I'm too old for hanging out in the bars, too poor for shopping in the antique stores, too unhip for the salons, and too large for the boutique clothing so I don't get downtown much.
Where in Raleigh do you live? I go up to see my best friend several times a year & she lives out towards Louisburg. Outer Loop to Capital Blvd to 511 (I think - I don't pay attention to the street names/numbers after I leave Capital!)
