The Village Subway, also commonly known as Raleigh Underground, was an underground entertainment district located underneath the Cameron Village shopping center in Raleigh, North Carolina. During the 1970s and 1980s, this underground network contained nightclubs, restaurants, commercial shops, and an arcade. The Village Subway, opened in 1972, was shut down in 1984 due to concerns about the fire code, drug use and customer safety.
Is our underground as expansive as underground Atlanta? I’ve always heard about it but if it is large enough I would love to see that become basically another district. What unique feature that would be to have to our city. Not sure many other cities have this.
Unground Atlanta isn't what it used to be. Once the developer is done it won't be anything like it used to be. Just another open air mall from the renderings I've seen. Hopefully Columbia can do something more authentic.
I’d just like to say I love reading this forum, and while it may be unrealated to this post, I’m extremely happy to be moving back to Cola from Chucktown. The people there can run a little rude compared to the sweet folk up there. Plus it’s where I’m from and I love it. Also, Charleston is a lot more run down than I would have thought. Anywho, extremely happy to be back!
Welcome back! It's nice to see (read?) so many people that are in love with this city. So many people complain, but there really is a lot to love! Hope your move goes well!
The Champaneri brothers who recently opened the Aloft hotel in the Vista have announced the acquisition of a 10-story downtown office building that will be converted into a 90-room Holiday Inn.
Its amazing how following student housing boom... its now hotels that are booming around downtown.> Still hoping for more stores and market rate apartments/condos to encourage more full time residents in the future. The current trend seems to follow that narrative..

The more people we get downtown 24/7, the more retail, restaurants, etc. will follow. This is great news.

Agree! I am a big proponent of the County selling their courthouse on Main Street because it will open up an opportunity like Charleston had with the Omni in the late 80's that changed the course of the city forever.
Where did you find the picture of the proposed Holiday Inn... I am still holding out hope it will be a Kimpton or Hotel Indigo.
