So. Much. Surface. Parking.

So. Much. Development. Opportunity.

That’s great news! That was one of those that I didn’t really believe until I see it. Still don’t see it but that’s positive news!

Will · August 1, 2019, 7:28pm

Is that this one?

Andrew · August 2, 2019, 12:06pm

Yes that’s the one I was talking about.

All the businesses that were located on this property have now moved, so demolition could start whenever they get permits.

After 90 years, one of Raleigh’s most famous oak trees is coming down today at Nash Square on Martin Street, just across the street from where the new hotel will be.

Would anybody in the community be able to get some photos of the tree’s final send-off?

No current photos, but here’s one for posterity:

They’re giving out tree slices now if you politely ask.

Damn. I just had a big lunch.

I was on a run about an hour ago and saw it so snapped some pics. Sorry did not take time to frame it well

Where? How? I was just in the park a few minutes ago, and everything was roped off a wide distance around the tree.

Francisco · October 10, 2019, 4:58pm

I asked the guys with the chainsaws.

GucciLittlePig · October 10, 2019, 5:00pm

That’s cool!

I bet some artist/craftsman could have made an interesting wooden statue like outside Cotton House in Cary or some tables or whatever from this and kept its memory alive. If the City had thought to set that up. Which of course they did not

daviddonovan · October 10, 2019, 5:02pm

I got my piece! Thanks!

Also, we got stopped by a WRAL reporter, so I may be on TV tonight speaking contemporaneously about a tree. That’ll be great, I’m sure.

@daviddonovan did you use your 15 seconds of fame to talk about the local elections ?
