Abstract:
Through a loophole in a recently passed law, internet gambling is legal. Since then, sweepstakes cafes have been popping up in low-income areas across the Triangle. They most often open where minorities make up the majority of the population and are near places such as pawn shops and check-cashing businesses. Many are concerned about this loophole and the group these businesses target. A map is included showing all of the locations in the Triangle area where these cafes are located with census statistics on the population in each area.

Abstract:
North Carolina developers believe the recession will have a minimal impact on the state's three biggest metro areas, Charlotte, the Triad, and the Triangle. This is in part due to the latest trend in municipal planning, in which development is corralled into more easily serviced areas and sprawl is slowed, allowing for more economical use of resources and infrastructure.
