This is kind of like the list you make in your head about what you’d do if you ever won the lottery.

Man, when I saw that super-tall tower where Charter Square will actually be located I couldn’t stop laughing :LOL: Do some people know that skyscraper will NEVER happen on that site?

Anyway, this is great work, I think, even though it is a bit of an exaggeration. That ultra dense environment cannot happen… Not in our lifetime. There were many strong points, though and I hope this Big Ideas book becomes a reality, for the most part, although I won’t be around to witness it, I am afraid. No matter how we like to see Raleigh, we should all agree that we can do better, and there is nothing wrong with looking into world class cities for inspiration. Lots of good ideas and I hope this effort continues.

Some great ideas in there. Some odd ones too. Not sure if I like a city Mascot, but what the hell. It would be funny.
