Who needs drugs when that’s your average day in the city experience? 
Very cool looking!

It’s like that connector tunnel in the Detroit Airport with the trippy lights and music.

Apparently Wilmington is getting a new half of downtown, including an outdoor live music venue, a waterfront park, and tons of housing.

I am confused. How do they construct these buildings with out the parking deck plinths? Is this some new, radical building technique?

Lol. There’s actually a bunch of parking built into this and pretty decently disguised

The scale of this is something that would fit nicely into The Creamery block on Glenwood.

That’s either a waste of steps, or a water hazard (says a jealous guy with a city with no water features)

Pretty dangerous water slide. The pool at the end is not nearly big enough.

I drove by this property the other day here in Columbus and had to look twice. The body of water didn’t look natural as it was sunk down a bit in a “valley”, but across the water were a couple of what looked like concrete elevator shafts you’d see in construction for apartments, etc. Where the water sat definitely looked like it might have been a quarry. So I was intrigued and asked my dad and he came across the link below. I know this isn’t unusual for re-purposing quarry land, but what a great example of what we could do with some of the local quarrys as they’re nearing end-of-life and maybe reduce the noise of the RDU quarry mess. “Look, people, you like parks and well thought through developments. How about well thought through land re-use? Support land re-use and the quarry!” LOL

Last Saturday was the 10th annual BlockWork in Salisbury, NC. It’s an event where volunteers fix up the exteriors of homes along a predetermined block in the city, funded in part by the City of Salisbury and many donors and grants. This year they worked on the 200 block of S. Clay St.
I think this is a super cool idea, especially for helping residents revitalize neighborhoods that haven’t seen a lot of love in recent times. Think it could work in Raleigh?
