I’m just loving the construction energy at Seaboard Station. I’m not sure why exactly but I’m just hyped about what it’ll be in the near future. It’s great to see and I hope it gets ALL the retail. The northern gateway to DTR is basically Seaboard and Smoky Hollow. If the railroad bridge could get cleaned up and some even better bike/ped added to Peace, these two areas will really gel. Love it! Snapped these yesterday. That new sidewalk along Halifax is looking nice. ![seaboard_12_09_2022](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/f/8f837169857d0f4ff90faf8679696191ad2954a7.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-5](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/6/06e4b8a71cb19400de76b1cd9670243cc0542cd3.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-2](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/0/b0cd6dadd16fd1c65e9a29c1b5d2c74dcf7e0f6d.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-3](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/d/cde71b49068dbed771716670ad255cc5a3fc630d.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-4](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/c/4c0cbbbf223f071ff91e7a4a9c85724bf238f32d.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-9](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/8/e841b182e913a3139d58b484894150993bc6f337.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-6](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/8/087b6b0392bb8b774daf1d5ef99358872c7e9b9d.jpeg) ![seaboard_12_09_2022-7](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/0/40d4eb1d12a5bdd015acd7f0dd92aea9b812046a.jpeg) ---

Extra wide sidewalk along Halifax due to the Duke Energy easement. Power lines aren’t all bad! ---

It’s still super surreal because this is one of the few areas of downtown I got to know and now it looks completely different. I’m not gonna go all NIMBY because the businesses I liked most all closed or sold outside of this, but it’s definitely a transition of an era. Nice pics btw! ---

I think everyone here has had it backwards. Maybe the Playstation copied the Archdale building? Here’s a photo of downtown Raleigh from the early 1980s about a decade before a Playstation ever came out 😆 ![image](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/d/dd0faad715d9dcc70ee32fd9a1c420abaf60b6eb.jpeg) [Goodnight Raleigh | a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night](http://goodnightraleigh.com/2011/04/beautiful-raleigh-n-c/) ---

This is the Raleigh I grew up in, haunting this downtown. It is amazing how the tree cover looks pretty continuous right into Union Sq and then down Fayett Both Archdale and CP&L went up about the same time (convention center too) and it was pretty cool to have two black and white buildings punctuate a very linear skyline. ---

Hate this skyline the BB&T and Wells Fargo (then Wachovia) was making the skyline a little more better city like. Back then maybe they should rezoned all of downtown to 40-80 story’s as a future investment. And a thorough way or freeway into and out of downtown from 40 to 440. ---

if i recall dobbs, archdale, maybe the bath bldg and possibly the ‘legislative office bldg’ and maybe a parking deck or two all sprung up about the same time. it was fun to see them being built. ---

I remember this Raleigh as well. I had my high school baccalaureate in that civic center (graduation was at Reynolds). I shopped the basement at Belk downtown, but there was little reason else to visit because I didn’t work downtown after graduating from State. ---

> [@Yimbyforlife](#): > > did Raleigh leaders back then envision what the city would be back then Indeed the leaders back then _did_ envision what the city was back then. I think the question you’re trying to ask is whether they envisioned what it would be now. Try again.
