We’ll hear our usual inspections, parks, and police news. We’ll then hear from the folks from the Shoppes at Brookside at the corner of Brookside and Glascock, talking to the community about the condos being
finished and the businesses folks would like to have there.
Following that we’ll have our annual holiday social, where you can enjoy some food and meet your neighbors. It should be a great time.

Celebrating Ordinary Architecture
Raleigh has many post-WWII neighborhoods of modest colonial and ranch houses like Rochester Heights or Cameron Village. What makes these houses and neighborhoods special? What techniques are there for updating these smaller, mid-century architectural gems? To find out, please join the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission (RHDC) and Preservation North Carolina for a Community Conversation where local experts will discuss the character, charm, and evolution of Raleigh’s post-War neighborhoods. Subdivisions discussed will include Battery Heights, Cameron Village, Capitol Heights, Hi-Mount, Longview Gardens, Madonna Acres, and Rochester Heights.
