Finally, an indoor mall that hasn't gone to the birds. This mall was full of great stores and was…read morefull of people enjoying it. The main stores are Macys and Belk and there were plenty of smaller stores that would be familiar to you like Bath and Body Works, American Eagle, Banana Republic, Gap to name a few. The food court had plenty of options to choose from too. I would say since I was not familiar with this mall it was frustrating to not be able to find the maps at enough locations. So, I definitely would recommend checking this mall out You can't find to many indoor clean malls these days.

Crabtree is probably the best mall we have in the triangle, though, parking can be a nightmare…read more I mainly go to Crabtree for Minerology, my all time favorite shop in NC. I have been to Lush, Lego, Yankee Candle, and Bath and Body Works here. Every shop we've been in had great employees and the stores were always clean. The mall in general is clean and bright and there's a ton of stores to shop around in. Minerology used to have two other locations but they closed down and stayed with one main location at Crabtree, so I'll make the long drive for my favorite place. The staff there are super knowledgeable about the fossils and minerals. They are very friendly and kind people and will help you find something special to bring home. They also do live sales occasionally on their Instagram. Many of the rocks in my collection came from here. Though Crabtree is far and I'm not a fan of their parking, I will always come back as long as my favorite stores remains!

There are also luxury apartments and several beautiful hotels in the area.

Raleigh's City Market reflects urban resilience, with its deep civic history and enduring…read morearchitecture. Architect James Matthew Kennedy designed a modern, "fireproof and sanitary" facility on East Martin Street that officially opened on October 1, 1914. Kennedy engineered a Spanish Mission-style building, built with solid brick walls, a grand red clay tile roof, and beautiful exposed interior wood trusses. The open-air walls were lined with pristine, white-glazed ceramic tiles, and the floors were poured with smooth concrete, allowing 1914 merchants to hose down the entire open cavity at the end of every business day. City Market is part of Raleigh's cultural history. During the Jim Crow segregation in the 1920s and 1930s, City Market functioned as a stark social and physical boundary line in downtown as African Americans were legally barred from operating or shopping within the primary white business sectors. So they set up shop at East Hargett Street and established "Black Main Street"--a sanctuary of Black-owned medical offices, hotels, pharmacies, and the historic Farmers and Mechanics Bank. Despite the era's rigid segregation, these two districts created a unique commercial crossroads. Black patrons could shop for essential groceries inside City Market under strict racial etiquette, while white buyers routinely crossed over to East Hargett Street to purchase raw agricultural goods or hire premium Black tailors and craftsmen. The market stalls remained one of Raleigh's few truly integrated public spaces, where Black entrepreneurs, farmers, and patrons could do business side by side with the rest of the community. The pavement has a legacy too, the 19th-century ballast cobblestones running through the heart of City Market on Blake Street and Wolfe Street, they were originally brought over from Europe in the 19th century as ballast stones in the hulls of sailing ships, dumped at North Carolina ports. They were later transported inland to pave Raleigh's streets. City Market is now an arts hub, home to Artspace and the City Market Art Collective. Independent boutiques include the woman-owned Blackbird Books & Coffee. Social Status sells upscale footwear and apparel. Unleashed sells pet supplies. Reign Luxury Salon handles your beauty needs. For dining, get a country breakfast at Big Ed's; City Market Sushi has fresh rolls; Woody's is a sports bar; and Vic's Italian Market has pasta and pizza. Kokoro Ramen & Izakaya offers Japanese dishes. City Market is an absolute must-visit destination that beautifully bridges Raleigh's physical heritage with a thriving, active community life!

Bottom line: City Market is still that nostalgic early 1900's market area in DTR, but to me feels…read morelike it's projecting as a bit tired-looking these days. Still a neat change from the usual downtown atmosphere but with a bit of attention it could be even more in my opinion. The Deets: City Market is an area in downtown Raleigh (DTR) with different types of offerings such as restaurants, bars, specialty shops, etc. The district also hosts certain outside markets and special events from time to time. It has a long history of being a couple or so blocks with cobblestone streets/pedestrian areas and that early 1900's type charm blended in. But with my latest visit in there, it felt a bit lackluster to me these days. There are some empty/vacant looking shop spaces and the area itself also looking a bit run down in a not-so-charming way. It's still a cool break for the usual downtown aesthetic but the feeling to me is that it needs a bit of TLC to get that ol' spark of nostalgic charm back. I hope this DTR district gets a bit of attention that I feel it needs to stand out as it should in the future.

I enjoy visiting Brier Creek Commons for shopping, dining and entertainment. The shopping center is…read morelocal to home for me and suits my needs for my personal shopping, dining and entertainment interests. My favorite places to visit in the Commons are: Total Wines, The Beer Garden, BJ's, Sephora, Target, TJ Maxx, European Wax Center, Dick's, Massage Envy & Bar Louie. Bar Louie makes the best martinis. The Clover is one of my favorite cocktails. I am a regular at The Commons. The plethora of shoppes and dining makes it a convenient one stop shop location. Yesterday was my second year attending the Star Spangled Block Party for the 4th of July. This is a wonderful free event for all people to enjoy. Bring a chair, participate in the festivities and people watch. My mom is 70 and enjoyed the community gathering. Despite how crowded it can get with many in attendance it is a very organized annual event that hope continues. I love to see everyone dress up and this is a safe community to gather in where all are welcome. The cons here include how busy traffic can pile up, parking is scarce on a normal day and how dated the Regal Cinemas is. This area is deserving of a luxury movie theater.

Near the airport and local hotels. 7. Close to Raleigh, Durham or Chapel Hill. It hits all the right check marks.

I love that we have a Cava on this side of town now and I don't have to head over to Cameron Village, especially when the parking gets crazy for holiday shopping. I also recently went into the Pet People and had a great experience. Between the pilates studio and Row House it is great to have workout options close by. Nektar is opening soon which will be perfectly located next to Club Pilates. I know there is an Ashley Christensen restaurant opening there too which I'm excited for as well as a Starbucks, and Snooze eatery. You can also access the Wegman's parking garage towards the back of the plaza, head behind Club Pilates. Parking is easy, if you can't find one of their "street" parking spots they have a parking lot around the back by Cava.

It's more like a carefully zoned outdoor entertainment center. Almost a "riverwalk" or "town center" that I've seen in other places.

Jewelry, coffee, nails, clothing, sporting goods, medical professionals, all sorts of stuff here. I enjoyed my time and will be back. [Review 11604 overall, 1384 of 2019.]

The variety of restaurants, shops, and events really makes it feel like its own little community...you can easily spend hours here without realizing it. The layout is walkable, modern, and clean, and there's always something happening, whether it's live music, families gathering, or people just out enjoying the space. The only thing I'd love to see is a more consistent police presence, not in a way that feels overbearing, but more low-key and observant. There are times when people drive through the area revving their motorcycles or blasting music so loud that it ruins the calm, relaxed vibe. It's such a great place for families, couples, and visitors, and keeping it peaceful and safe would make it even better. Fenton really has all the makings of a perfect hangout spot in Cary. A little more attention to keeping the noise level under control would make it a 10 out of 10 experience every single time.
