Comments on: May Progress http://raleighskyline.com/content/2007/05/17/may-progress/ Original Photography from the City of Raleigh, North Carolina by Matt Robinson Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:04:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: JRd http://raleighskyline.com/content/2007/05/17/may-progress/#comment-5023 JRd Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:33:15 +0000 http://raleighskyline.com/content/2007/05/17/may-progress/#comment-5023 I have no idea what you're tlaking about, TC. Are you talking about the mounted police station? If so, I think that little shack is pretty cool and has a lot of character. I just wish they would put light bulbs in all those sockets that go around the bottom of the roof. I think that would give it back its historical look. I have no idea what you’re tlaking about, TC.

That parking lot and police shack continue to be a pathetic eyesore (along with that house that houses a lae office). They lost my business years ago (used to go to Big Ed's aall the time, their food quality and service continues to go down hill). The owner of that complex has done nothing to that area in years. The owner should sell it to someone who gives a damn about it's appearance. Does anyone know if they are going to clean up and expand that embarrassing area called City Market?

Raleigh is a beautiful city. It is named one of the best places to live in the country! Raleigh has a lot to offer, to much to start a list. I do miss it! When was traffic a good thing?

I am the President of the NCN (National Caricaturist Network). We are an international association of caricature artists and we have chosen your fair town for our next annual convention next November. I would love to show some of these images in our private forum so that our members will get a taste of what they have in store for them next year. There will be over 200 artists in town from all over the world for one week. We look forward to visiting and learning more about Raleigh. If anyone is interested in visiting us while we compete, please email me at your convenience. Also, any recommendations for things for artists to do or visit while we are there would be appreciated!

Skyscrapers are nice for skylines but you can gain a better urban experience down where the people actually are with more offerings. Two buildings will bring that much more street level business. I can think of areas in Philly and Seattle (albeit magnitudes larger than our 400k people) with great street experience in lowrise areas as a result of street level density. “should be combined into 1 tower becoming 914ft”
