Sad for Roast Grill. But also probably inevitable.

I am putting my foot down for historic preservation and stating unequivocally that it is critical that they save the Hot Wieners sign.
Otherwise, let’s see some height!

Roast Grill opened over 80 years ago, has great character, and we’re just gonna trash it. Will be another sad loss for Raleigh and I don’t even like hot dogs.

It’s a great storefront with the sign, awning, and octagonal window, but the building itself is a nothing.
I know the owners are getting up there in age, and I’m assuming their kids don’t really want to run the place. Are you going to force the city to run the restaurant?

Given Canes season is upon us, I wonder if it’s another one of his amazing Hurricanes murals?
Although Dix Conservancy is tagged, so maybe not.

Approve it and raise their property taxes concurrently.

Love murals, but isn’t this buildings last days numbered? Or is it not part of the 401 project?

Even if it’s days are numbered, it’ll still probably be a good while before we see any sort of movement on this site. Last I remember, the land got rezoning approved but there are no current plans or even proposals, far as I know.

I was thinking that too, but the rezoning request skips this building while using the rest of the block.

The PDF still shows the same plot as before. Not the whole block.

Ah, I clicked through the “Updated Location” link in the Wire Service post and it just went right to a map with all the lots highlighted, while the previous link only had the initial L-shaped lot.

I clicked updated location and still see just the L shaped combined parcels.
