Field notes
The page arranges its argument as a mock civic dossier, with sections for the case, its “receipts,” and a platform. It links the premise to the city’s name history and to supplied KPD posts, including a downtown mural or statue pitch and a playful Neuse River sighting. The page repeatedly separates those references from real municipal action, noting that pictured concepts are not verified installations and that the river sighting is a joke.
