Downtown Raleigh has a lot to be proud of, especially given how far it has come over the past few years. Raleigh and its citizens can be proud of the renovated buildings, new restaurants and bars, the re-opening of Fayetteville Street, the new Convention Center, the parties, the people, and more.

Security By Design: Developer Seeks to Clean Up S. Saunders
A new development project is in the planning stages for the South Saunders St. Boylan Heights area.
The goal of this plan is to “spur the completion of the western gateway greenway and redevelop two blighted areas on the eastern edge of Boylan Heights.“ Along with building a stretch of townhouses the firm is willing to construct the segment of the greenway that has been part of Raleigh’s greenway plans for that area.

A Note For Readers
We welcome your participation in the ongoing conversation and hope to encourage a constructive dialog. We ask that when commenting you use a name that is close to your own. We appreciate it if readers refrain from posting under aliases, nicknames or multiple names.
It is our opinion that the use of real names will allow for a more authentic atmosphere. When using multiple names it is dishonest to other readers who assume they’re reading a conversation with many voices; while in reality it may be a few commentors using different aliases.
As always, thanks for reading,
