You know with Durham’s water park coming possibly, a good theme park could be at RTP since its both Raleigh and Durham that’s a great area to put an amusement park plenty of space. If I had a lot of money I’d open a park there.

Great clip! Speaking of NHID, does anyone know when the hardimont extension will open up and if there will be a traffic signal installed at the intersection?

I’ve been hearing some construction pounding happening up near Crabtree. Went to investigate and found the source. I ended up looking up via iMaps which then the address search led me to find out that they’re building a Home2Suites right next to the Doubletree. Looks like it’s going to be 120 rooms.

I’ve been wondering too but o don’t think it will open any time soon. They are just starting the building where standard food a beer will go.
Apropos of recent chatter about “micro-retail”… Makers Alley is now open for business. Sucks that it’s in North Hills though

Right - definitely need more of this, but downtown, Iron Works/Midtown, Dix Park edge, Cameron Village etc etc ETC!

Gotta hand it to the Kane team, that’s extremely cool! Definitely need more of it elsewhere though.

Several urban developments that are pretty much nimbyed away from downtown Raleigh, but somehow make their way into the suburbs, isnt somewhat suspicious?
Raleigh needs to get it’s marketing together. Give up on trying to retain small town vibes please people, this is a major city already.

You’re understanding finally!!! Now well it get to the Raleigh city council politicians on time? We are always preaching we want things, but don’t want to make sacrifices.
Hopefully those shops got heavily discounted leases since that side of North hills isn’t even fully built out yet. Gotta think profit margins for bespoke candles and handcrafted popcorn arent that impressive. I want them to win but they may need some help.

The city in general should look into subsidizing leases for small/local businesses that set up a brick’n’mortor shop in Downtown (or anywhere in city limits really) - I know there are one-time grants locals can apply for via DTRaleigh Alliance and whatnot, but monthly lease subsidization (with terms and conditions, of course, and probably a time limit) would be key to not only allowing for these businesses to grow as the city and population does… but also to even just get started.

Its like midtown Atlanta almost btw i’m not sure if I’ll start a website on my ideas for Raleigh.
Just a liiiiiittle bit more height variation would go a long way. That apartment tower is doing a lot of heavy lifting hahaha
