Why can’t street performers dress like Gene Krupa?
Two weeks ago, Gerald Alexander landed in Raleigh with little more than
his saxophone, and he set up shop on Hargett Street playing “Misty” and
“Satin Doll” for spare dimes and quarters.At age 50, he is just the sort of colorful character Raleigh leaders crave for downtown — and now plan to regulate.
City planners have drafted a 91-page document…
If the rules clear the City Council, Alexander will need to submit a written description of his act and pay a $40 annual fee.
