PROGRESS...I took this drone shot of downtown Raleigh almost 2 years ago. I believe the vacant parking lot on the left is where the new Omni Hotel will rise from. 

One thing I hope, and have read this will be the case, is that the sight line from the Performing Arts Center to the Capitol Building along Fayetteville Street will not be impeded? I think those two buildings acting as bookends to Fayetteville St should not change! 

Thoughts on the new hotel?
