My son still gets mad at me for calling Downtown Disney “the Disney Village”. Of course now he gets mad at anyone who calls it the new name “Disney Springs”. We like what we grew up with, and we judge newcomers who try and rewrite our memories.
Long story short, it will always be MGM Studios to me!
It’s really way more then North Hills. It includes North Hills but if you look at the master plan study. It’s an area that is bound by Millbrook to the North, Six Forks to the west, Crabtree creek to the south and Atlantic to the East.
It’s way bigger then just North Hills.
Indeed, bigger than North Hills and more deserving of a better nickname…
I like Toronto, they have downtown, midtown and uptown. Uptown is on the bluff north of midtown over looking midtown and down town.
So where would our “uptown” be? Wake Forest? 
Durham? Somewhere around there?
Midtown makes sense when you contextualize it between downtown and north Raleigh, but at first it just seemed like North Hills was re-branding as midtown alone and not including the broader area. I’m slowly sliding away from it as North Hills and WF-Six Forks bleeds into each other.
I get that others have used Midtown and I agree it’s pretty straightforward. I guess I’m honestly just looking for something more unique in a local context. I feel like the ship has already sailed but I’d posit ‘Crabtree-StAlbans’ is better than Midtown(e). Thanks god there’s no ‘e’… 
…and as far as Uptown goes, I already use my made up abbreviation for what folks call our uptown in my moniker for this site… 
Wake County passed it. Raleigh is next on Tuesday. I just now noticed that it was Wake County and Raleigh who initiated this project… “The funds are governed through inter-local agreements between
the Wake County Board of Commissioners and the Raleigh City Council. In October 2019, they released an RFP, asking for proposals to compete for multi-use indoor sports complex project funding.”
I used to work at The Concourse, a long, long time ago, and I used to get lunch at that mall, which was already pretty much dead even at that point. Very glad to see this space finally get re-purposed into something that should be a very nice addition to the area.
I posted (and then deleted, because it was needlessly combative) a similar point in another thread a short while ago, but we really don’t need to denigrate places that aren’t downtown Raleigh.
Downtown Raleigh is very nice, but other places can also be nice, too. Charlotte, Morrisville, Cary, etc., are all perfectly nice places, and the conversation doesn’t have to degenerate into discussions of how other cities are “boring” or whatever.
I don’t get rivalries. I work in Morrisville and love visiting Charlotte (despite not wanting to ever live there. I have friends that love it there tho), and visit Cary and Durham once a week at least. Even Austin and Nashville that steal our thunder sometimes … I wish them well and want to visit. More nice places are good for all of us.
I’m a laid back guy, but I just can’t stand Charlotte. Never have liked it. Still don’t. Think it’s my dislike for the junior banker type and beige.
Same. But apparently there’s local districts with neighborhood bars in old buildings, breweries, etc. I spent 7 years between visits but I actually find stuff to enjoy now
It would be Raleigh north of Millbrook Road
Add some density to Six Forks Station and Harvest Plaza. There is already a crane at Cypress.
Well none of have made billions, if so we would build really cool buildings in DTR
Crispy Bahn-Mi in Charlotte is the best bahn-mi I’ve ever eaten
This thread seems to be getting way off subject. I thought it was for redevelopment/new projects along the inter beltway, as in visible from beltway. Mainly between Capital Blvd to Glenwood Ave. around areas that are already high density in nature.
Just my opinion, caning may commence at High Noon in the village common.
