Development News in Raleigh

If you are one to take sides then two older articles are just for you this week. 

Apparently some people are really pissed that Boylan Brewpub isn’t open yet.  So pissed, that they have taken to ripping the owner and all of his plans.  No, really pissed.  I mean we’ve seen readers pitch fits about growth, McMansions and candidates, but these people want their beer, and they want it now.  This editor’s response: chill out.  But maybe you want to join the fray.

We aren’t asking for renderings here, but we are willing to bet the audience does indeed have some good ideas about more appropriate development in CV.
