September in Downtown Raleigh was a month of measurable progress on the construction front. Cranes began popping up as a sign that the quest for a changing skyline has begun. The early days of Fall have ushered in cooler weather and clearer air. We also managed a visit the state capitol for a few photos from the inside. Be sure to leave a comment!
