A few update pics from downtown Cary. One of the new parking decks with retail, one of the new apartment buildings, and a couple new houses taking the place of a single house.

Lol what? Weird. He was deleting all the grouchy comments. No idea what goes on in that group but it seems like a bunch of old people angry that 1960 Cary nostalgia isnât carrying on.
Edit: apparently it was because of the pictures of the giant signs with QR codes the builder put up. Sharing that online was too personal. Oh Cary lol

Love all the pics from downtown Cary. But itâs rural very close by, and as someone else said in another topic on density/sprawl, everyone knows that âeveryone living in the rural areas are unemployed.â
I had to laugh at that one!
Charlotte Urbanist and Charlotte Urbanplanet are planning a walking downtown in downtown Asheville to be part of the comeback. And yes everyone is invited to this free tour. It will be March 15 a Saturday. About an hour and half with plenty of time to eat and spend some money in downtown Asheville. Eric Church NC native sings this song that Explore Asheville is now using. So be apart of the comeback story for Asheville they need the tourists! https://youtu.be/8XtVtZ1fs0A

This is really interesting. Wouldnât it be a great experiment to do this on DT streets that arenât state run, and/or high traffic routes like McDowell, Dawson, Hillsborough and Peace?
Brick is such a brand identifying material for NC, and roads like this have the possibility of really building a strong local identity for Raleighâs downtown.

St. Louis getting another tower. When Detroit and St. Louis have better tower development than Raleigh.

Well, they have more people, corporations that prefer downtown towers to suburban office parks, and big downtowns with stuff to do in them for dwellers of the apartments above.
Both cities also have some enormous empty office buildings theyâre struggling to do anything with because no one wants Class B office space anymore.

I wonder if we should rename this thread to:
Show off Real Things From Other Cities
as these pretty pictures may be a fantasy forever.

If you start a companion thread of fantasy renderings, someone needs to put in all the ones Raleigh had in 2008 that lured me here.
