RBC Sensitive to Wachovia’s Pain, Base Jump Canceled
Damn, just when you thought downtown could get a little nutty. The base jump scheduled today to open RBC plaza has been canceled. RBC felt that base jumpers would be just too much fun in the face of other bank’s new antacid addiction. The N&O quoted RBC PR “Given the recent market activities, we just didn’t think it was an appropriate time to have people jumping off of a bank building.” and followed up with “We wanted to be very respectful of our financial partners and Wachovia”—a name emblazoned on another Fayetteville Street tower.” Well guys, you may be a bit down in the dumps, sad for your finance homies, if you will, but the rest of us are stoked about that big tower opening, so how about a parachute or two? Wachovia won’t care. Promise.
