Our historic fabric is getting threadbare
Our historic fabric has been under threat for decades and is getting threadbare in areas—particularly in areas associated with the African American experience in downtown Raleigh.
Noise, Light and Saving the Raleigh We Love

Polling Questions & Answers
Our citywide poll of registered Raleigh voters conducted by Public Policy Polling was published Tuesday, July 23. At publication time we included contact information at PPP for questions about the methodology.

OK. I have ranted. But my rant is serious. Show up, have fun and tell the part of the truth at this “COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT” event, because to get something you have to give something up in this particular area. We have already given up a lot. Make sure that we get something back.
