Real Solutions to $4/gallon Gas and a Sedentary Lifestyle
Are you tired of hearing about high gas prices? So am I. Sure, the federal government should find a way to regulate the overseas oil futures market to prevent speculators from artificially driving up the price by about $1.20 per gallon. But I’m also tired of hearing about it, and burning oil more cheaply is not a long-term solution. |

User Enigma of www.newraleigh.com commented on a recent post about new construction in Cameron Village. The lurker wants to know: What would you do with: Cameron Village? Perplexed by the New Raleigh community’s ‘negative comments’ Enigma essentially says ‘let’s see you do it better.’ Good idea, let’s. We aren’t asking for renderings here, but we are willing to bet the audience does indeed have some good ideas about more appropriate development in CV. source: newraleigh.com
Waraji Downtown Location Padlocked By Wake County
Waraji Downtown Location Padlocked By Wake County It has almost been a year since we announced that Waraji was opening a second store in downtown Raleigh. Construction in the space hasn’t gone very far since and recently a note and a padlock appeared on their front door. The note (image below) states that the “doors have been padlocked by order of the Wake County Sheriff’s Office - To gain entrance, see landlord”. From this, an assumption can be made that there are problems between the company and the owner of the space that Waraji was slowly starting to upfit. It could be back rent that the tenant owes the landlord and therefore the doors have been locked so the tenant can’t work on the space until it is all settled through the county. Let’s hope things get settled soon. Since Cuba and Est Est Est left this location, this corner has been begging for activity. Until then, Sono and Wild Ginger will hold down the downtown sushi fort.
