Also their tagline sucks and really gives the game away. The city should be a big HOA, made up of littler HOAs.

I propose we have a tagline replacement contest for LR. I have a bunch in my head. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Raleigh Forward is sponsoring a Happy Hour on Wednesday, September 25th from 5:30-7:30p. If you subscribe to Raleigh Forward, you likely already got the email for this. There will likely be some city counselors attending as well.

Since this is being hosted at a private residence I’m not going to post the address in the forum but if you’re interested, message me and I’ll give you the information.

EDIT: This already posted elsewhere and the address for the HH is public via LinkedIn. See other community post: Raleigh Elections and Council Overall - #2313 by wroncsu

One of Chief Boyce’s newest initiatives is kicking off on Haywood Street tomorrow (3/25). It’s called Cops on the Block and is a chance for neighbors to meet the officers who work and patrol their community. If you’d like to be involved, come on down tomorrow morning:

Do I have to bring my own basketball, or will chairs be provided?

It went well! Thanks all!

Nothing like multiple cops coming to your front door in full uniform with loaded guns.
