Nick Neptune may blush when we read him the bio his creative friends cooked up to promote his services for the Good Times Assurance Company, but after sitting with him for an hour we can definitely confirm when it says "he is not a man--he is an event."
Much of the focus of the interview is on Transfer Company Food Hall and its surrounding property, which Nick oversees as General Manager. As Transfer prepares to celebrate its 1st anniversary, we learned some about the site's history, how Transfer Co. came together, and what the project will look like when fully complete. But Nick also gave us powerful insight on how Transfer Co is more than just food, and how its location and timing and merging communities fall at the intersection of a downtown Raleigh where many are excited about the future and its growth while many others are still keenly aware of the scars of the past. Our request for this episode: if you're gonna listen, listen to the end.
Ashton and Hayes also discuss the swearing in of the new city council, a new name for a park near downtown, another new barbecue spot, and we share our #Top3Raleigh holiday traditions.
