Went to The Mill tonight for dinner. In the Harris Teeter strip mall, which is not my jam for restaurants at all, but it’s the same group behind Coquette and a bunch of other cool spots over the years. Really nice space, really good food and service too. We’re definitely coming back. Seems like a great place to go to before a PNC event or anything involving the art museum.
Which oddly enough we’re doing. Finally seeing an outdoor movie there for the first time, despite living like 2 miles away for 10 years. This whole area is like a hidden gem. I guess it’ll slowly get less hidden as more development comes in here, which is just fine with me
No offense meant at all, but I went in there once when I first moved in 10 years ago, and felt very out of place. I never went back, but I will definitely be back here. Just felt much more welcoming. Different place for sure, and a different time. I wish them well.
I will have to try and get a better picture tomorrow, as I noticed too late and barely caught it in time- but the new DHHS building is starting to peek out over the trees from Wade > 400 exit
City Council voted in favor of all the PNC Arena and general area expansion. Even though I live over here and it will undoubtedly bring more traffic and shadows, I still support this. Lol!
Goes to Wake County Commissioners next week for a final vote.
Jeez what elevation do you live at? Was in Boone earlier this summer and even there it got into the 80s. Even Mount Mitchell has reached 76 this year. Did you move north as well?
I’m at ~5000ft just north of Boone always a cool breeze blowing. Yep DTB gets hotter, guess all the flor-idiots* bringing bringing their hot air with them in summer.
*local name for people from Florida that are afraid of driving on roads with hills and curves. so that come to mountains and drive at 10mph down center of road. LOL
Some of my buddies and I ride our motorcycles up to the mountains for the curvy roads every month or two. Always interesting when we get stuck behind a vehicle because you can instantly tell who is a local, and who is not. Locals will be cruising around in their pickup trucks pretty close to our pace on our sportbikes, out-of-towners will be basically idling along.
