I am excited to see this project take shape and I hope the timeline holds.

Can’t have nice things. Cary will build their new  
Downtown park, will be spectacular without the social drama. A townhome in downtown Cary would yield a higher quality of life and long term a higher return on investment .

Dude - The only thing you post is constantly ranting about how much better Pittsboro, Cary, etc are compared to Raleigh, on a DTR site. I think a lot of it is probably in jest, but your shtick is getting old, really.

The good, the bad, the ugly . Words about places not people. Points and counterpoints. Good 2 way discussions.

According to ABC11, stabbed by a “sharp object” and brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Classic WRAL leaving the object out of it.

It was an icicle, so the weapon has melted. The perfect crime

Cary has _the best_ parks. So new, so clean, only the greatest designs and cleanliness to make Cary the greatest place to live in the world. With your help we’re going to make every place like Cary!

Actually, Cary does have good parks, sans “sharp object” issues. I would think everyone would want to have safe parks. This is certainly not the first time Moore Square has had violence problems.

I was thinking the sharp edge of a broken plastic cup or someone’s house key.

The problem with Cary parks are the people. Almost saw several fights break out in my years working there when I’d go to the parks during or after work. Not the violent type, but screaming over sports-related issues, particularly around tennis and beach volleyball. Haven’t seen that at Raleigh parks, except for the people that come over the line to play at Method in pickleball and get edgy. You would think the retirees and wealthier set would be a little more chill, but there’s a bigger sense of entitlement it seems. I’m sure basketball courts may differ though.

Similarly, Apex Central Park has lovely tennis courts but it’s also almost an hour wait at most good times. Worthdale in Raleigh isn’t as nice but at least I can actually get on the court and play tennis when I want to.

Caught these signs the other day. Looks like the may be prepping Moore Square for more plants? My picture doesn’t show it, but these signs were over the non-flower parts of Moore Square too

Adding this to Moore Square as well since I can’t seem to find a topic for it. Looks like the pulled the wood off the Hamlin Drug building and there’s a leasing sign on it.

They’ll probably want to clean up the outside a lot more before trying to lease it. This particular place smells very not good for reasons.

Sheesh, yeah. That could be such a neat 50/60s timewarp space, but it needs a whole lot of love.

I LOVE this space and really hope once something finally occupies this building that they keep some of the current style.

City Council to discuss what to do with Moore Square today.

Spent millions redoing the park & have allowed the homeless to ruin it.

Stop letting every bleeding heart show up & feed them would be a good start……sounds harsh but we literally spent millions as taxpayers just a few years ago….& now its full of water bottles, trash & people just laying around….all day
