Maybe a Nobu as well.
maybe it’s time the HBCU stadium idea gets resurrected as a possibility now 
At St. Augs. Could be the Mordecai historic MLB / Soccer complex, those neighbors would LOVE this!
(thanks, I’ll see myself out)

I’d like to see a downtown swim and tennis club with decently high membership fees to keep the rif raf out. St. Aug’s would be a good location if it ever bit the dust. Just my opinion though.

Rif Raff has better hair than I do these days.

For the record - this was a joke. Just trying to be as callous as possible.

I would love the city to buy/rent the Saint Aug’s brand new track/football field and open it up as a public park. There is such a shortage of publicly available track space in Raleigh, and to have a brand new one sit unused and rot is a shame.

That would be a great way to continue the legacy of SAU - who has a fantastic history of track teams. That is a great idea.

This is weird. Thoughts?
It’s bad. That’s what I’m thinking.

If they don’t fix them, we may end up with a classic case of the broken windows theory.
The Broken Windows Theory, proposed by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in 1982, posits that visible signs of disorder—like broken windows, graffiti, or litter—create an environment that encourages further crime and serious offenses. It suggests that addressing minor, low-level infractions (order maintenance) prevents the escalation of crime and fosters community safety.

The timing of this seems suspicious, those windows have been broken for YEARS. I drive by there everyday.

I was about to say the same thing. Those wi does have been broken for some time.

I wouldn’t read to much into it. Now that they’re in bankruptcy and the accreditation fight is over, they don’t have money to pay for security services and have to get court approval to incur new debt. Really just a slow-motion trainwreck

Usually in a bankruptcy proceeding, the creditors and the court are keen to preserve and protect the debtor’s assets. In this case, isn’t it an implicit assumption that the value of SAU’s real estate is the land and not the buildings?
