Happy New Year, Raleigh. 🎉

We are so grateful to kick off this new year with you and for all of the possibilities 2021 holds. This year, a song by a local musician you’ve never heard before might become your new favorite, a really great restaurant might open right down the street from your place + that new building you’ve been watching come together for months and months could finally open to the public.

As we prepare for a promising new year, we want to know: what do you want to read about each morning?

Are you trying to find out if your favorite festival is returning this year or wondering about an upcoming development in town? Do you want to know where to get the best breakfast bagel, or is there a piece of Raleigh’s history that you’ve always wanted to know more about? What news gets you excited to open our newsletter each morning?

The things you asked us last year were some of our favorite stories to cover. From covering topics like where to find the best plant-based eats around town to digging into Raleigh’s system of government, we had a blast answering your questions and learning more about our amazing city.

This year — to celebrate 2021 — we thought we’d set a goal to answer 21 of your questions. So start sharing your thoughts and wonderings here + stay tuned as we work to find some answers to the topics you’re most curious about.
