Now there is a Panda Express over there near the gas station. Seems popular.

Went once. Unlikely to go back. Check Yelp, last I did a lot of negative comments, some which I'd have to agree.

I remember it well. The original Griffiin's restaurant stood about where the Chi-Chi's building is, and just past it was Raleigh Auto Auction. I was a big deal in the day.

Back to crosswalks. I wouldn't even attempt to cross all those lanes there or anywhere in traffic. Not with today's drivers.

Unfortunately I am addicted to their orange chicken. I go a few times a month. Bad reviews but also a response from management or customer service.

North Hills. They should look into a leading pedestrian interval or preventing right turns on red there if they are going to keep an at grade crossing there. Won’t solve all the problems but it would help some with all the foot traffic.

Right outside my office is a crosswalk. If you push the walk button on my side it shows the walk signal 30% of the time. But if the button is pushed on the other side of the street it usually works. Some drivers get nasty when you are crossing without a signal.

Agreed. I live nearby and that is a pedestrian heavy area but not pedestrian friendly.

Help a lot! I walked to North Hills all the time when I lived there, but I didn’t cross Six Forks to go to the Teeter but once.
