I have been very excited about the rink. I think it will be a nice addition during the holiday season.

As for North Hills, while I find it to be akin to visiting Pleasantville, I do not see what is dishonest about North Hills. It is a mixed use commercial development. I am not aware of NH claiming to be anything else. Sure, they promote themselves, but I never read “Come sit by Starbucks and take in the lakefront view!”

If the “ice” downtown is plastic, will you call it a “dishonesty”, too?

What’s wrong with the “ice” being plastic? You do realize that ice freezes at 32F and we are in Raleigh, NC??? We have only 71 days where the low, often achieved in the middle of the night, is at or below 32 degrees, and we only have 4 days per year where the high is below freezing. Would you go into the outdoor ice business in Raleigh?

What kind of rink will this be? The one at North Hills is fake, plastic. Dishonesty is no suprise, from North Hills.
