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?

Ok Raleigh, where can I get the best biscuit? I didn`t grow up eating biscuits in Australia, and when I hear the name biscuit, I think cookie.

It took me a while to acquire the taste for biscuits, but now I am hooked.

* Let me know your favorite spot?
* What makes a good biscuit?
* Is the filling most important, or the biscuit, or both?

P.S. the biscuits at the State Farmers Market are GIGANTIC, like a burger!
