RALEIGH: North Person Street business district fills up fast

Here’s a story about the growth the Person Street business district has seen in the past few years.

RALEIGH — Craig Heffley first visited the North Person Street business district about a decade ago, around the time he was opening Wine Authorities in Durham. He spotted a series of vacant storefronts amid two thriving historic neighborhoods, and he made a mental note.

“This would be a great space if I ever opened in Raleigh,” he recalled thinking. “It’s got spunk to it. It’s a good mix of neighborhood people and people who are driving through on their way to downtown.”

I found a big goof in this story, though:

And more neighbors are on the way to fill prescriptions with James, sip wines in Heffley’s store lounge and dine at Piebird. Peace Street Townes, an 18-unit townhouse development, is under construction near Krispy Kreme. Even Oakwood is expanding with a new subdivision called Oakwood North.

Oakwood North is in no way related to the Historic Oakwood neighborhood. It just has Oakwood in its name.
