Vibrant and trendy with lots of nice eateries and wide walkways. The people seem to enjoy it, and it feels safe.

CharmingSoo love

Halloween is a serious celebration at this historic neighborhood

Visited 48th annual historic Oakwood candlelight tour. Quite impressive, but is more geared toward the homes characteristics versus Christmas and its time of year.

I love downtown Raleigh it is always something to do.

Down town raleigh is cool lots of places to skate not that many but no police harassment

Down Raleigh has grown and its great. Restaurants,museum,banks news 11 everything you need

Events just about every weekend. Great place, something for everyone. Definitely a nice place whether you’re just on vacation or live in the area.

Nice place to walk around.

We wear this city on our feet.The streets tie themselvescloser to us with each stepOur shadowscast shapes of ancient oak trees stretching out over Nash Square at daybreakWe grow herewith the spirit of buildings past,present and rising like a staircase to heaven in the distance,the plumes of white smoke from their rooftops as burnt offerings for incense,spires for steeples,the bundled masses of people moving beneath as the calloused solesof our feet pounding the pavement,Our congregationseated in reverant silence on the R-Line hissing to a stopTheir hushed prayers filing out from within to bring the reclaimed sidewalks of Fayetville Street back to life to join this pilgramageThey marchdowntown toward Capitolholding signs for disarmamentThey bar-hop through Glenwood South toasting to deliveranceThey sprint downhill on work week mornings in a blur of faces that become us,Rush at all hours through our veinsCross our hearts and keep us breathingOn the shoulders of this giant collective, we hold our heads highto see that this is home now.We cross into the unfamiliarat the walk signals cue,breaking new ground, gazes meeting one anotheras their counter-culturecoffee kicks into add this defiant bounce to each stepwe hop over puddles as they appearWe dont mind the way rain lands hereand its baptismal effectWe like how its capable of reinventing itself mid-fall into weightless snowflakes, then taking flightWell walk without umbrellas to see itwearing the greyest pieces of their winter sky the way it caps the peaks of Mount PNC, BB&T and Wells Fargo like hoodies over our headsWe assume monk-like appearances matching thoughts to prayerful intentionsin robes color-coded by season- from blue collar sweaters to cold hard sweatWell wear their city until worn out and wet, and well keep walkingin the direction of their nearest church on Edenton Street under last-minute prayers mumbled for our redemptionWell wear their dreamsat night, the moment the streetlights flicker on beneath wired telephone poles carrying conversations about each one as far south as Florida, fears unspoken, made visibleon iron benches too cold to sit on at this hourWell keep walkingpast each lit window of the apartments overhead closing shut behind usTraffic lights left to blink red as eyes held awake by the coffee,as the last of the emptied buses pull into Moore Square Station, missions completeWell wear this city like backpacks slung over shoulders carrying crosses made from their Oak trees and well walkthrough the shadows of their doubtswhile they fall asleepunder the watch of their heavens,the skylinea glowing testamentof every step takentoward someplace higher.
