Comments on: Say Hello To The 500 Block of Fayetteville St. http://dtraleigh.com/2008/07/say-hello-to-the-500-block-of-fayetteville-st/ A Downtown Raleigh Blog Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:32:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: DPK http://dtraleigh.com/2008/07/say-hello-to-the-500-block-of-fayetteville-st/#comment-876 DPK Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:34:11 +0000 http://dtraleigh.com/?p=326#comment-876 As an amendment to my comment, I think the Starbucks is necessary however. Conventioners will instantly recognize the name and be able to get their morning cup of coffee. Which will leave Crema nice and friendly for us locals. :) As an amendment to my comment, I think the Starbucks is necessary however.

I myself usually end up at Global Village because I love the atmosphere and people there. They usually start making my order when I walk in the door because I've been going there for about 4 years now. Starbucks I feel like that "community" feel just isn't there. If Global is closed I'll usually head to either 3rd Place at Five Points or Crema on Fayetteville Street. I think most of the people on here frequent more kinds of independent coffee shops.

For any avid Starbucks drinker, having a location in the true heart of downtown is absolutely amazing! Of course, I know many people hate Starbucks aswell, which would explain the lack of buzz for the new facility. Either case, here is a video with just about all the info you'll need to know about the new Starbucks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGAe_V1nUh0 Enjoy!

How many times will a car have to stop because of foot traffic going through that main door to the lobby. There maybe another side door in that alley, but people will migrate to the main door (again, lack of vision - city council/approval board not thinking , AGAIN) That alley will pose a problem once cars start to use that circle.

It all can't be perfect I guess but in the near future when the construction is done, we won't even think twice about it. Thanks for that info, Chief.
