I’ll need a speedy

Also to get this back on topic, did the Run For Love at Dix this morning. Love that resource so close to our city center!

Coming along nicely. If things contiune along at this pace the entire park will be amazing a few years down the road.

When construction is complete, the Gatekeeper’s Cottage will become a Dix Park Welcome Center with an outdoor classroom. The Gatekeeper’s Cottage is probably the most exciting for the public, in that we’re going to have a digital exhibit of the history and the present and the future of the park,” Cowell said. “It’ll be a very technology-forward, thoughtful look at an introduction to the park.” The Superintendent’s House will become offices for the Dix Park Conservancy, and the Physician’s House will serve as a community center. https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/historic-stone-houses-restoration-dorothea-dix-park-on-track-wrap-up-early-2024/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&fbclid=IwAR2PPc_4xp3gvWhw8Awz_SxEnGA4zeHofC0qCFC7kqoU_z0IsQkBKcI0zdo

My hope is that once the Dix amphitheater is built, the NC orchestra and other orchestras will host free concerts there during the summer months.
These are pictures from the last free Landmark Orchestra concert on the Charles Esplanade in Boston:

Below a link to the architectural firm’s plan for the site. If all plans come to fruition it will be one of the most beautiful parks in the country.

I’ve really enjoyed them and the Carolina Ballet at the NCMA Amphitheater and Koka Booth. I’d hope they can mix in a free show at Dix with that outdoor schedule.
