West Street Corridor

Never heard of it, but they sure throw some shade at the city for keeping them from opening.

OakCityDylan · August 25, 2019, 8:16pm

That’s seems unusual.

John · August 25, 2019, 8:26pm

And they have NOTHING posted on their IG account that you shared.

OakCityDylan · August 25, 2019, 9:13pm

That’s correct. Nothing yet.

So, this Pink Boots. Are they trying to open somewhere on West Street?

pBeez · August 25, 2019, 10:07pm

That worked.
Nope, still haven’t heard of it, but it sounds fun. I like boots and I like pink, lol. But really they had me a B A R.

Supposed to be “nestled” next to Rainbow Luncheonette at 911 N West St.

Same owner as Cardinal and Atlantic Lounge I believe.

Yes, same owner as Cardinal, Atlantic Lounge… hopefully soon to be Rainbow Luncheonette. Says it will be next to the Luncheonette in the Rainbow Building on West Street. The current drawing of the Pink Boot is his daughters rendition of the the logo. Said the Pink Boot will be the smallest, weirdest bar in the city

I like how this area is coming together. Raleigh needs more “weird”.

TheNightHawk · August 27, 2019, 4:52pm

Yeah @Lars, that end of West street has a ton of potential. Excited to see what is to come

John · August 27, 2019, 5:16pm

Unfortunately “weird” is usually among the first victims of escalating property values.

Francisco · August 27, 2019, 5:24pm

Weird?

How about we just get simple American freedoms like being allowed to drink in public, especially in city parks. Moore Square for example prohibits alcohol except for a small area around Square Burger.

Until SEHSR comes to town. Then that whole strip of businesses between West Street and the ‘NS’ will get taken out. (But, don’t hold your breath. That’s still a long ways out.)

-why not both ? .gif

What does this stand for?

Southeast High Speed Rail (Richmond to Raleigh)

@dtraleigh has done a lot of the heavy lifting, and organized it better than I ever could have done.

Nosyarg · August 28, 2019, 7:31am

Ah, another bar. Was hoping it was retail or something

Jake · August 28, 2019, 12:11pm

Same but tbh retail would struggle so hard in that spot - practically zero foot traffic around there!

I heard a rumor from a fairly reliable source that 5-Star will be moving to 303 N West St (former Auto Interiors & Tops building). Currently being renovated by Atlas Stark.
