The arena for the D-league is so dinky and looks like an outdated high school basketball gym (if I saw the rendering correctly). It'll be up to Greensboro to upgrade facilities and such to make the team more popular.
I know Greensboro and Winston are separate, but I imagine you would be familiar with Winston. What's this business about Winston and streetcar? I think I read they applied for a federal grant for a streetcar. I'll have to look into that. Cinncinati got their Atreercar vehicles delivered Friday
Demolition is now underway to convert a downtown Greensboro warehouse into a much-talked about retail "multiplex."
The Triad Business Journal first reported on the $4 million project last year, with news that Fresh. Local. Good. food group — a Greensboro-based catering and events company — and Iron Hen Cafe owner Lee Comer had plans to purchase a nearly 30,000-square-foot building at 509 S. Edgeworth St. and transform it into a multiple-concept space to include eateries, an event area and speakeasy.
While the light rail project is paused, Chapel Hill currently stands poised to begin other extensive urban development. At this time, 1.5 million square feet of office space is set for construction, along with 875,000 square feet of retail and 3,346 units of residential spaces. The Ephesus-Fordham, Glen-Lennox, Obey Creek, Carolina Square and Carraway Village mixed-use developments have all been approved by the Chapel Hill Town Council. Planned developments would provide affordable housing, allowing UNC graduates and young professionals to stay in Chapel Hill.
Hope the law that limits LRT will be over turn. It is a shame that Chapel Hill and Durham hit a set back on their LRT start. But it is good that they are building and planning as if it will come back.
What are the large metro areas in North Carolina do for transit. People should have a choice of transit and TOD is one of the value of have near a transit line.
Chapel Hill and Durham will see many developments near the LRT line. Good Luck. We all need it.
Imagine the North Tryon area as an intensely urban, inclusive neighborhood known not for large office towers but instead an “extreme mixed-use pattern of development featuring varying heights and scales,” says Daniel Iacofano.
That’s the vision for the area that a group of civic, business and government institutions will present tonight at a community meeting led by Charlotte Center City Partners and the Foundation for the Carolinas. Iacofano, a founding principal with consulting firm MIG Inc., worked with the consortium on crafting a vision plan for the area, which straddles the First and Fourth Ward neighborhoods and totals approximately 60 acres.

It looks very Greenville, SC-ish. And IMO, a downtown Greenville look would actually be a step up for uptown's north end.
