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:
