Unpopular take: I honestly believe that phase 3 should be a 10-12 story complex similar to the Peace Raleigh Apartments, obviously with more ground floor retail.

While I agree that they donât need to maximize the full 40-story rezoning, I would like to see at minimum a 20-story apartment tower here. 25-30 stories would be the sweet spot, as itâd still be fairly tall as a grand entrance building from the North, but not crazy enough that they couldnât start building sooner than later and have confidence it will lease up within a few years.

As a northside Glenwood South neighbor, hereâs my take.
I want to fill the greater neighborhood and walkshed with as many residents as we can get so that we can create demand for more neighborhood resources and make the entire neighborhood even more walkable.
Itâs feet on the sidewalk thatâs going to compel empty retail spaces to fill, and transform the neighborhood from being primarily a weekend party scene to something more balanced and comprehensive.
With Publix as the most recognizable anchor to the walkshed, I see it & Smoky Hollow as the current epicenter. Build baby build!

So itâs named âNeighborhood-Good Time Barâ?
Theyâre having a guest bartender on 7/11, Mayor Baldwin. Ha!

Went over to Neighborhood last night. Really cool place. Theyâve got ping pong tables outside, cool places to sit, and the prices on the menu include the tip, tax, and price of the drinks.
No tabs either, so you just go to the bar, say what you want, tap your card, and they give it to you. What a concept.

Decor is infinitely better than whatever industrial minimalism New Anthem was going for.

Um I donât claim to know a thing about interior design but to me this looks like a mashup of about six different patterns and colors. Early 90s gaudy-chic? I prefer industrial minimalism.

Maximalism is back baby. Gen Z loves it (in large part because Millenials like minimalism and fashion is always cyclical).

I like the look. It looks comfortable and pleasant but a little fun/unique. Iâve seen way worse new bar interiors. Fake green ivy walls and neon lights come to mind.
I canât stand Gen Z fashion/aesthetics. Itâs like obnoxiously bad. I thought it was ironic at first but itâs like they think itâs retro and cool, but have no idea how hideous everyone considered that look for the last 25-30 years. Iâm ready for 1998 style to come back. Baggy cargo pants and unbuttoned flannel shirts. Iâm gonna be so fly. The kids still say that right?

New branch or are they just moving the downtown location they already have on Hargett? 
My source for this one was the Smoky Hollow website. So not too sure
My hope is that this is just some initial foundation pieces and it organically builds from there in layers.
