Seasonal
  • Before heading downtown for Centro’s 11th Day of the Dead 5K this Saturday, Oct. 28, read about the story behind the event. We sat down with founder Angela Salamanca who was introduced to the holiday originating in Mexico by her staff 14 years ago and has loved the celebration of life since.
Development
  • ICYMI, the RDU Airport Authority recently approved a $31 million contract for final designs of its Landside Expansion Plan of Terminal 2, which is on track to begin construction in early 2025.
Try This
  • An outdoor pickleball court popped up in City Plaza that is almost too cute to play on. Players can use the court, located behind Shish Kabob at 438 Fayetteville St., now through Nov. 30. The playful squirrel artwork on the court was created by local artist Evelyn Hemedinger.
