Good job, dedicated Raleigh citizen. If you’re getting this, it means you’re already one of the most informed + connected Triangle citizens (or at least you’re about to be).
We are RALtoday – your new go-to for navigating all things Raleigh. Whether you’re walking the dog, still in bed, sitting in the carpool line or sipping your morning coffee, your life as a smart, engaged Raleighite just got a little bit easier.
Here’s what you can expect. ➡️
We’ll share what you need to know in Raleigh + in the Triangle each day – from ranking the best dishes at a new restaurant to breaking down affordable housing – so you can wake up, read one (free) email, learn something new and move forward with your day. (We call that a win.)
Because you’re an early subscriber ➡️
We’re giving you a sneak peek into what we’re working on. ere’s what you’ll find in this week’s newsletters:
- Tomorrow – Guide to the Mayoral + City Council elections. Surprise! We’ve already published it. Find it here. Plan who you’ll vote for and where. 🗳️
- Wednesday – Have you heard of our very own Cannes-like film festival? Meet Film Fest 919 + see previews of the indie movies playing in town this weekend. 🎥
- Thursday – We’ll break down the election results for you. Will there be a runoff election on November 5?
- Friday – For weekend adventuring, we’ll share 30+ getaways in the Carolinas – from the Smokies to the coast + beyond. Bonus: This one is live too. Plan now here.
Next week we’re on to a State Fair guide, top open jobs in the city + the lowdown on the newest Raleigh record store. 💸
Who are we? ➡️
RALtoday is the 7th city that 6AM City (our parent co.) is helping make smarter.e also exist in Asheville (AVLtoday), Charleston (CHStoday), Chattanooga (NOOGAtoday) + more – but Raleigh is our most dynamic market, encompassing multiple metros. We’re written for locals by locals. We’ve set up shop at Raleigh HQ.
