Capital Area Transit (CAT) is currently working on a new branding scheme which will include updated brochures, information, and even a bus paint job.

Bolt Bistro and Bar will open soon in the space formerly occupied by The Mint on Fayetteville Street. By open soon, I mean “Late Summer” according to the new sign posted in the space windows. According to the restaurant’s website:
