I agree with this. Outside of the COP District, Downtown Atlanta is very sleepy outside of 9-5.

Fayetteville St vs. Warehouse District + Glenwood South feels like a more localized version of the same thing. Tall towers are more fun to look at from a few blocks away, and huge, empty lobbies create dead zones for pedestrian activity.

Even Fayetteville feels more active / has more restaurants and stuff than Downtown Atlanta proper. I think since it’s small and you can see end to end it also gives it a better feel.

Similarly, when I lived in San Francisco 20+ years ago the true “downtown”—where most of the skyscrapers are—was pretty dead after work. Most of the eateries were delis or cafes for the lunch crowd. All of the nighttime action was in the neighborhoods.

The innovativeness of the Governor Morehead School extends back to its roots. When the school was established in 1845, it was the eighth school for the blind in the United States. Equally impressive is that North Carolina was the first state to serve the African-American blind and deaf population, beginning just four years after the Civil War. https://www.governormorehead.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1550434&type=d&pREC_ID=1676638

Cameron Village, the first shopping center built in the Southeast, opened in Raleigh in 1949. It was part of a 158-acre development that also included single-family residential areas and apartments, mostly constructed between 1948 and 1953 and reflecting postwar economic and demographic changes. By 1954 the shopping center included 40 stores, 38 offices, a movie theater, and parking for 1,500 cars on its 36 acres. Cameron Village | NCpedia true?

Movie theater? Did I hear movie theater?

Yes, the Village Theater. It was a fairly large theater at the time then they built a wall right down the middle of it to make it the Village Twin. The seats remained mostly intact so one theater had the aisle slightly offset in the middle. Location is what is now the former K&S. Saw many movies there as a kid.

If we are talking about same one, I think it was on North side of Cameron Village facing Smallwood drive.
