11/18/2010 11:52:52 AM

That's pretty awesome.

11/18/2010 11:52:53 AM

lol that's great

11/18/2010 11:53:00 AM

I like it!

11/18/2010 11:53:15 AM

someone needs to go get some pictures in reference to the street itself... that looks like it could be a model train setting

11/18/2010 11:56:08 AM

hahaha, GG

i saw that someone had put christmas lights on it the other night

11/18/2010 11:56:46 AM

i hate hate hate the term raleighwood. (much like tarjay and bo-hong-lays)


although i will admit this is cute.

11/18/2010 12:16:25 PM

wow, I had no idea Joie was such a hater


what about Chi-town, Chucktown, G-vegas, Chapel Thrill, etc...

11/18/2010 12:17:31 PM

not nearly as bad as calling every shit town _____-vegas.

^case in point

11/18/2010 12:17:47 PM

g-vegas is stupid, chapel thrill is wtf, the others i dont know about (assuming they are local and not chicago for chitown)

11/18/2010 12:18:33 PM

Chucktown is my favorite nickname for a city. But then again, I am biased

^ Chi-town = chicago, chucktown = charleston

I thought it was only for towns/cities ending in -ville.

11/18/2010 12:21:04 PM

That is awesome!

11/18/2010 12:28:48 PM

^^ Is that the protocol?

My apologies.

11/18/2010 12:30:38 PM

Well towns ending in ville usually are shitty.

11/18/2010 12:33:08 PM

HOTLANTA!

I use to hate "chucktown", but I think it's slowly growing on me. I still don't use, although I will say that I'm working in "northchuck" when I'm at the office in North Charleston. But North Charleston is shitty, so it's okay to bastardize the name.

My guess would be Joseph Carnevale (barrel monster guy)


I think it's pretty awesome. adds a little bit of culture to a city with very little of it.

11/18/2010 1:04:50 PM

Drove by it today. Looks cool.

11/18/2010 1:05:17 PM

If I owned that land I would tear it down and press charges on anyone who trespassed.

11/18/2010 1:10:57 PM

look at mr. tuff guy over there!

11/18/2010 1:12:20 PM

damn straight. we don't want any of your illegal "culture" around these parts.

11/18/2010 1:17:35 PM

i would hire a midget to dress up in a godzilla costume and ravage it

11/18/2010 1:23:21 PM

I don't like looking at morbidly obese people either, but they still haven't rounded you up and put you in a camp.

just the way the world works, chief.

The hill is just a stockpile of dirt that has grass growing on it.

The letters of the sign are maybe 1.0-1.5 feet tall.

not me, i love it!

i call almost all of Wake County "Raleighwood", especially to out of towners

11/18/2010 2:26:51 PM

I kind of want to drive by there tonight just to see it

11/18/2010 3:36:59 PM

if you do, take some pictures... I still want to see it in relation to the street

11/18/2010 7:13:13 PM

I hope our stupid city officials don't decide to call this vandalism (or whatever their little brains can think of), rip it down and charge someone with a crime.

11/18/2010 7:21:03 PM

they'll insist that another sign be put up that says "raleighwood" in spanish

11/18/2010 7:22:27 PM

dont ask me why, but i always found it sort of slightly amusing that raleighwood was four hours east of ashevegas, and hollywood was four hours west of las vegas.

11/18/2010 7:55:53 PM

That statement is slightly amusing.

11/18/2010 8:08:59 PM

or gvegas is 1 hour east

11/18/2010 9:59:03 PM

what about Trolleywood?

11/18/2010 10:03:33 PM

I need a high-res for a desktop background plz
