Wake Wired

There's a sewer monster living underneath Cameron Village. There's a man in Moore Square who plays football all by himself. Somewhere in Raleigh, we've heard, there's a kudzu vine that looks just like Alfred Hitchcock. These small marvels don't always fit inside a regular newspaper. A lot of them are too funny for those highfalutin' pages. So we've tucked him in here, where they'll be safe. Take a look and let us know about the oddities in your life. We'll show up and snap a picture.

The City Council voted 6-1 today to spend up to $112,000 to create a Wi-Fi network downtown. Councilman Philip Isley was the lone councilor to vote no.

The vote allows City Manager Russell Allen to negotiate a contract with WindChannel.

Once it's up and running, the Wi-Fi network is expected to cost about $21,000 annually to maintain.  

Isley quetioned whether there was any reason that the city needed to move ahead with the network now.

"We certainly could not do this ... we just think this will set the stage for the success of downtown," Allen said.
