💙🚧 BRIEF: A $40 million bridge is coming to Wake Forest’s Rogers Road
Happy Friday, Triangle! The clocks fell back on Sunday, the mornings are crisp, and the leaves are turning. November is here, and the calendar is already filling up! This week I’ve got a packed weekend of events, a fresh read on the market, a $40 million bridge headed to Wake Forest, a turn-key listing in Wendell Falls, and a few new spots worth knowing. Here’s your D&M BRIEF: [B]est Weekend Plans: an oyster fest, a culture festival, and the Fenton ice rink is back[R]ealty Pulse: rising...
💙 BRIEF: The biggest thing happening in Apex isn't a house
Happy Friday, Triangle! Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which means we get a full day of it: costumes, trunk-or-treats, and candy runs, no weeknight rush. Here's the bonus: clocks fall back Sunday at 2 a.m., so there's an extra hour waiting on the other side of Halloween night. I'm voting to spend mine with coffee on the porch 😌☕ If you'd rather skip the sugar, the Canes are home Sunday afternoon and HollyFest takes over Holly Springs all day Saturday. Either way, it's a good weekend...
💙 BRIEF: NCDOT plans a Rogers Road bridge in Wake Forest
Happy Friday, Triangle! It’s a big week of things happening! The fair just opened with a $25 million food hall (and changed how its vendors get paid), pumpkins are about to float across Bond Lake, and there are 6 gated 3-acre building opportunities in Hillsborough worth a look. Grab your coffee & let's get into it. Here’s your D&M BRIEF: [B]est Weekend Plans: Pumpkins on Bond Lake & a Durham makers market.[R]ealty Pulse: The market's holding at a slight seller's edge [I]n the News: Inside the...
💙 BRIEF: A hospital is coming to your backyard 🏥
Happy Friday, Triangle! The State Fair is back! Gates opened Thursday for an 11-day run, the smell of fried everything is already drifting down Blue Ridge Road, and this year there's a brand-new 230-foot Ferris wheel on the skyline. October in the Triangle doesn't get more "us" than this. It's a full weekend all around. Duke and UNC meet for the Victory Bell over in Durham, Cary's night market takes over the park on Friday, and somewhere in the middle of it all, a lot of you are deciding...
💙 BRIEF: NCDOT revives $84M Maynard Road underpass plan in Cary
Happy Friday, Triangle! It’s a big week ahead! The State Fair is back in Raleigh on Thursday, and this year with a 230-foot Ferris wheel, which will be the tallest in fair history! And if you haven’t noticed, Fall is officially showing off! Downtown's going vertical, too. The developer behind the new Hotel Indigo just told Axios it's breaking ground on a 20-story tower, rooftop pool, pickleball courts, and 374 apartments. The full story is below. Would you rather be outside this weekend?...
💙 BRIEF: RDU is moving 5 million cubic yards of dirt
Happy Friday, Triangle! The mornings finally have a bite to them. I pulled a sweatshirt out of the closet for the first time this week, and the season felt like it turned overnight. And let’s be honest… the timing couldn't be better with everything happening this weekend. The defending Stanley Cup champions, the Carolina Hurricanes, return to home ice Friday night, Oktoberfest season is officially here, there’s a new café worth checking out, and Fuquay-Varina is opening up its downtown on...
💙 BRIEF: The only NC restaurant on the NYT's 50 Best is right here
Happy Friday, Triangle! The National Coffee Day just got (more) interesting. Dunkin’ and L.L.Bean are teaming up for a limited-edition collection, but before that, there’s plenty happening around the Triangle.Rogers Road lane closures wrap up today in Wake Forest, and the weekend brings football at Carter-Finley, live music in Carrboro, and dancing under the stars in Cary. The housing market is giving us something to watch, too. Nearly half of the homes for sale have taken a price cut, so...
💙 BRIEF: Why 49% of Raleigh sellers cut their price
Happy Friday, Triangle! Three festivals, three cities, one weekend. BugFest turns 30, CenterFest fills downtown Durham, and Cary's Night Market takes over Downtown Cary Park on Friday evening. If you've ever wanted to see the whole Triangle out and about at once, this is your chance. Growing up in Minnesota, I learned that a good fall weekend is something you plan around. This one is already on my calendar. This week's BRIEF has a market update worth reading closely, a Midtown street...
💙 BRIEF: A $21.8M road project begins near Dix Park
Happy Friday, Triangle! There's a first hint of fall in the air this week. Cooler mornings, crisper air, and leaves starting to change color! This stretch of the year is one of my favorites here. It's also a major weekend for one of our family's favorite Triangle traditions — the Durham Bulls are playing their final home games of the season. That always feels like the unofficial close of summer! And speaking of weekend plans, Wendell Falls is throwing their Fall Passport Tour this Sunday!...
💙 BRIEF: A $208 million step toward NC's first children's hospital
Happy Friday, Triangle! It's Labor Day weekend, and you can feel the season starting to change. The mornings are a little cooler, the kids are back in class, and the calendar is full one more time before fall settles in. After 10 years here, this is my favorite stretch of the year. The pools are still open, but you can finally sit outside at night again. Here's what has me thinking this week, though: how much is being built around us right now. A first-of-its-kind children's hospital in Apex...
