[The History of the Triangle]

The Jones house is circa 1810 or so.

Nice pic.

[Downtown Raleigh retail updates]

Parking update:

No more all day parking along Seaboard Avenue at Seaboard Station. The city put up 2 hour parking signs this week to clear out all the state workers who park there all day. I guess the shop owners complained. Can't say I blame them.

This is a shot of the empty lots along seaboard avenue in front of what was supposed to be Seaboard 111 Condos. You can see new the 2 hour parking signs along the sidewalk.

Is there anything keeping the state employees from filling the parking lots at Seaboard near Capitol Grocery, Logan's and Seaboard Fitness et al?

[Dorothea Dix Property]

The most beautiful and vibrant city I have ever been to, Seville, Spain has two large gardens and a very large park near its center, and - oddly enough - caddy corner from the University of Seville. It must be a European thing. I would love to see the Dix property feature a public garden.
