Sorry, didn't read pages 4 - 10, but my 2 cents would be a Kosher Deli

or FlyLeaf Books in Chapel Hill:



Something like my Alma Mater's(NC A&T SU, Aggie Pride!) game room would be cool, It was a bowling alley, game room(as in PS3, PS4, Wii, Xbox etc etc) Billiards, and Ping Pong, all in the same spot. They could even build parking stations for food trucks, while the facility it self could serve up a variety of drinks.

On a side note went down to the baxter arcade in chapel hill:



Looking forward to the boxcar bar and arcade to open(anybody know when it is supposed to?)
Went to the Baxter Friday after UNC game. Awesome place. Didn't know an out the place. If you like cheap beer and cool game. A must see!

Can't wait to see what the Boxcar will look like. Dose anyone know when they are opening. Walked by a couple of weeks ago. Looks to be coming along well. But no sign or idea when it's opening.

Have you been there yet?

Zweigles Beef Balogna.

As for light rail, where would it go to and who would ride it? This is probably the kind of thing that people spend ridiculous money for and next year it's at the garage sale. Have people buy the subscriptions first, and then build it. Where they bought the subscriptions for. If there are enough of them.

...or at least a second-run or art film theater.
An Alamo Drafthouse Cinema or something like McMenamins Theaters would be the cherry on the cake.

was reading the indy, and I too think a adult play ground would be cool, instead slides and swings, it can be out door ellipticals/exercise bikes, pull up bars, climbing boulders, monkey bars, big a** climbing wall, a track, pretty much a place to work out free and promote health and fitness in the community.
