I drove through downtown Raleigh. This is what I saw.
Did you know Raleigh is one of the fastest growing cities in America?
This driving tour goes through most of the greater downtown Raleigh area. We start off on the south end of town on Saunders Street and on McDowell Street.
The video was recorded at 11:15 am on Saturday, October 13, 2019.
We visit Raleigh's new Warehouse District, which has tech startups, and the Carolina Art Museum. We pass both Moore Square and Nash Square and head down to Fayetteville Street, home to restaurants and bars.
We then drive down Blount Street, Wilmington Street, and take Edenton Road to Glenwood Avenue, where we see bars, restaurants and shopping on Glenwood.
We end the tour on Boylan Street Bridge near Raleigh's Amtrak Station.
If you're looking to move to Raleigh, considering Raleigh real estate or wanting to travel to Raleigh, this video is for you.
Raleigh North Carolina is a booming city. The capital of the Tarheel State, it’s population is about 470,000 people, and it’s one of the fastest growing cities in America. Many people are moving here from all over the country. If you’ve been here you can see why. North Carolina’s climate is mild most of the year, and the cost of living is actually very reasonable.
In this video, we’re going to cruise through downtown Raleigh and visit a few of this city’s downtown neighborhoods.
We’re going to enter Raleigh from the south end of town and make a left and head west towards the up and coming warehouse district. A decade ago, this part of downtown was all but forgotten about, but tech companies swooped in and turned this into the hippest part of downtown. Restaurants, coffee shops, condos and retail has followed.
Raleigh is known as Oak City due to the large number of Oak Trees located thoughout the city. It’s the second largest city in the state, behind Charlotte, which has a population of nearly 900,000 people.
We’re going to make a left onto Fayetteville Street, which is the main drag downtown. There is lots of new development downtown, especially in regards to office space and housing. One criticism of downtown Raleigh is the lack of shopping. While there are bars and restaurants lining this part of downtown, there aren’t many places to shop.
For many, Raleigh is the perfect city. It’s clean, there aren’t homeless people sleeping on its streets, and parking is actually not too hard to find.
This is Raleigh’s newest park to open. This is Moore Square, which was recently given a major facelift. It’s been very popular since it re-opened less than two months ago.
This is Wilmington Street, which has perhaps the grungiest feel of any area of downtown.
As we leave downtown proper, we’re going to pass the state capital building here on the left.
We’re going to head west and then north, and make our way to Glenwood Avenue.
Glenwood Avenue is Raleigh’s version of Bourbon Street. As you can see, it’s very crowded, as there isn’t a square inch of Glenwood Avenue that isn’t taken up by a restaurant, bar, coffee shop or hip, cool new trendy place to be.
During the daytime, it’s very walkable and pleasant. Come back here after 10 pm, and its hoardes of college kids from NC State, cars cruising up and down, and quite overwhelming.
We’ll take a turn away from Glenwood Avenue to quickly give you an idea of the amount of construction that’s going on in Raleigh. You actually can’t go very far in and around the Raleigh downtown area without seeing construction. It truly is booming here and they can’t build condos and office buildings fast enough to keep up with demand.
As we leave Raleigh, we look out over the city and see Raleigh’s newly refurbished Amtrak station in the foreground.

Genius is Common by CLEASTER COTTON, Artist, Educator, ALNUGE Inventor
CLEASTER COTTON / Curriculum Vitae
About the Artist
P.O. Box 7313 / Asheville, NC 28802-7313 / (828) 367-7708 / cleastercotton@gmail.com . .
Cleaster Cotton is an Nubian American painter, photographer, inventor, author and educator. She is a ‘Contemporary Primitive Artist’ and mother who was born into a large, close-knit family and lovingly raised by southern parents, in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. Her approach to art-making is honest, unexpected and exciting, with a refreshing use of color, texture, shape and line. Cleaster’s ability to manipulate conventional and unconventional materials produces an eclectic, fascinating range of artistic renderings. She works in media including paintings, drawings, collage, pen and ink, hand-rendered and computer illustrations, textile design, installation art, assemblage, photography, prints and sculpture.
CLEASTER first knew she was an artist at the age of five, when her Mother introduced her to Cubism and she created her first line of greeting cards. International travel and early exposure to her culture, influences how Cleaster views and creates art. She fell in love with photography, when she peered down into her grandfather’s camera and discovered the magic of refraction. Cleaster captures daily occurrences and rarely presented events in society and nature.
At the age of twelve, Cleaster lost her mother and found herself faced with magnified challenges surviving inner city Brooklyn. She sought out opportunities in education, arts and culture that, ultimately, insured her survival of societal pitfalls. As a teen in the vanguard she was a leader of students. Cleaster served her school and community during major city-wide political upheavals and shifts in community policies. Cleaster traveled abroad, on an education research study, along with a team of adult educators from the Ocean Hill-Brownsville / Bedford-Stuyvesant communities. The team’s goal was to learn the workings of the innovative Open Classroom Education System, bring it back the United States, and implement it here.
“Travel abroad took me out of the neighborhood, away from the perils that claimed lives of friends and family members. I gained a new outlook for my future, and set a new standard for my quality of life.”
It was in Brooklyn, New York that Cleaster attended public, middle school, Uhuru Sasa Shule, and ‘Youth in Action’ arts education program at Pratt Institute and Long Island University. She attended the High School of Fashion Industries, Interboro Institute Business School, and Fordham University in New York City. During an extended externship with the Primal Art Center in New York City, Cleaster traveled to Alkebulan, Europe, and various islands in the Caribbean, buying art, learning the people, culture, art and nature of the land. She travelled to Central America, on a naturalist’s journey, with the Usha Herbal Research Institute. Cleaster attended San Diego City College in San Diego, California.
In 1998 Cleaster became a K12 Certified Teaching Artist and Professional Development Specialist.
In 2002 Cleaster invented the ALNUGE Codes [‘al-new-gee’] (ALphabets NUmbers GEometrics.) ALNUGE is a visual language that is based on system of geometric shapes and is known as the Modern Day Hieroglyphics. ALNUGE is used to improve literacy and communications via word games and puzzles. It is a K12+ core curriculum and art activity that fosters creativity, academic excellence, innovation, and ingenuity. The wellspring of ALNUGE is Self-Empowerment Through Self-Expression (“SETSE”). ALNUGE is a STEM and STEAM-based curriculum that supports cognition, brain health, reasoning, and higher learning abilities. ALNUGE makes learning fun and engaging.
Cleaster Cotton is the author of CODE GAMES AND PUZZLES: The ALNUGE Method.”
She is on Purpose Publishing’s list of MAJOR INVENTORS & SCIENTISTS and featured on its 2012 collectible poster.
Cleaster has served the Westchester Arts Council, Georgia Council of the Arts, Museum Design of Atlanta, High Museum of Arts, University of North Carolina Asheville, Asheville City Schools Foundation, and many Boards of Education from Westchester County to Fulton County. She has taught thousands of children, facilitated professional development for hundreds of teachers and community professionals. Cleaster Cotton is an advocate for children, an Arts-in-Education Creative Communications Specialist and Cultural Conservationist. She is loved and loving.
