Another Pic of the Week

I really like this view from the greenway when exiting Dix Park and approaching Rockway Raleigh, the soon to open apartments along Saunders Street. You get that “park in a city” feel when wandering certain parts of Dix and then you turn a corner and here are some homes and places to eat and rest. Lake Wheeler and Saunders Street will probably become the commercial gateway to Dix Park with all that’s going on there.

I took this photo during our Summer Photo Walk, which I plan each season on the Meetup page so if you like that sort of thing, wandering around with a camera, join us!

Vote on October 8! Then, nerd out with us at Isaac Hunter’s

Raleigh munigeeks unite!

We’re hosting an election watch party on October 8. To kick off the early voting, I’m posting about the event that Tuesday night and everyone is invited.

After you’ve voted, and you can do that early right now, come join an informal, non-partisan, unaffiliated meetup at Isaac Hunter’s Tavern for true geekery over Raleigh politics.

We want to put the election results up on a screen and refresh them until we’ve got all the winners figured out. It’s sure to be a good time and I’m excited to be doing this for the first time.

See the events on Facebook and Meetup here:
