This “gut” is based on a 🐦 singing. > [@Raleigh Union Station and RUSbus Facility / Union West](https://community.dtraleigh.com/t/raleigh-union-station-and-rusbus-facility-union-west/71/2322): > > My gut tells me we’ll see news soon that the remainder of the project is not only going to follow shortly thereafter, but will be revised to something similar to the initial plans. Going with my ESPN for this prediction. “soon” meaning after now ---

Why does your birdie think it will be “revised” to something “similar to the initial plans” - and what, exactly, does that mean? Height, more mixed-use (aka reintroducing a hotel)? ---

My birdie thinks you need to just keep your shirt on about this whole thing, it was at my bird feeder earlier. This was just a cardinal, not an engineer, but still. Keep your shirt on. ---

Has anybody in the entire history of time ever actually called this area “Uptown Raleigh?” 🤔 ---

The only time I’ve ever heard uptown used was for the area…wait for it…up from Midtown in North Raleigh. ---

Just for my clarity/sanity - this is the City Hall crane, right? RUSBus didn’t suddenly put one up, as well, right?? ---

All is forgiven. I do appreciate how visible this will be from the vantage point you’ve provided - definitely going to impact the skyline and feeling of density from so many more angles than many recent developments, considering it’s in such a deadzone (tower-wise). Starting to fill a MAJOR gap with this one! ---

I will be so glad when this opens! It is much needed at Union Station. ![IMG_8669](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/f/4ff75fd13e1357e6a0da7d901375c3fc9ea58b00.jpeg) ---

The station is such a great space, but like a ghost town when there is not a train arriving/departing soon, as one would expect. And granted, I’ve only walked through it during those times. But I hope this will bring folks into the station and make it a livelier place. ---

So initially they said this wouldn’t open weekends until January, but both the article and their website say they’re open every day except Monday. That’s cool! > **[Union Station Deli and Catering opens at Raleigh's Union Station](https://www.wral.com/story/Union-Station-Deli-opens-in-downtown-raleigh-union-station/21600569/)** > > Rocky Top Catering is behind this new restaurant, which bills itself as serving "authentic New York Deli food" with a menu including fresh-made breakfast bagels, deli sandwiches, and hot pressed paninis. ---
