Show Notes

One of the biggest--if not the biggest--changes in Raleigh in the past 2+ decades has been the growth of downtown as a place to live, work and play. Bill King joins us in this episode to talk about the Downtown Raleigh Alliance (DRA) and what role it plays in the building, sustaining, and growth of Raleigh's now vibrant downtown.

He explains some of the services the DRA provides--like business recruitment, marketing and the Downtown Raleigh Ambassadors program--and explains funding and membership for the non-profit organization. He also shares some news about a new business opening soon downtown, and talks about potential future businesses and areas of growth.

Also, we welcome Ashton back from Australia by catching her up on interesting things that happened in Raleigh, and talk about our #Top3Raligh State Fair attractions (non-food division).

Special thanks to our sponsor, Steele Residential--check them out for buying, selling or renting!
