It is interesting to note that the Progress Energy building has succeeded in creating a pedestrian friendly experience with a street level that is broken into smaller retail spaces (Sosta!) and another two sides wrapped in condos. It is a single project but it creates multiple experiences on the same block and leads to the micro-neighborhood you describe - but only during the daytime. Great post!
