They should structure it as a food hall a la optimist hall in Charlotte
Like a miniature version of Morgan Street/Transfer Co. Food Hall. I'd be down.They should structure it as a food hall a la optimist hall in Charlotte
For the fights.* and a Bojangles
We should take the state fairgrounds and push it somewhere else!
In the spirit of Governor Morehead, take something that was supposed to be at the center of the state and push it closer to the current Governor's house!There’s some logic behind that. In theory the fairgrounds should be a lot more central to the whole state, and outside of the city like the current site originally was. It wouldn’t be crazy to put it somewhere near the zoo.
But then there’s politics and money.
FWIW The fairgrounds were once in the Clark Ave. area. Pogue street by the Rose Garden was the horse racetrack. Before that the grounds were a bit north of the Capitol Bldg I believe.There’s some logic behind that.

Though, we're both of the opinion that there should be more barcades
Speaking of old timey places, the Amazon warehouse off 440 is built on top of where the old Raleigh Speedway still remains. That is the the race that Daytona replaced on the NASCAR circuit and is where the first night races in stock car occurred. You can still find the paved track in the woods if you know where to look.FWIW The fairgrounds were once in the Clark Ave. area. Pogue street by the Rose Garden was the horse racetrack.
