WHAT’S HOT

Your Sunday could get a whole lot boozier (!). State lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow ABC stores to open on Sundays. Cheers to that!

It’s game on—literally. Raleigh was ranked the second-best city for gamers out of the 100 largest cities in the U.S.

Prepare for takeoff! The Federal Aviation Administration approved RDU’s $500 million plan to upgrade its current four-decades-old runway by around 600 feet.

The wheels on the bus go round and round thanks to Gov. Roy Cooper’s $1 mil investment to enhance school bus driver training capacity.

So trippy: A recent study revealed ashwagandha is the most searched-for supplement in the country, with 919,742+ monthly Google searches. 

Order up—on foot? The City of Raleigh is considering banning drive-thrus Downtown, in the Village District, and on Hillsborough Street and Blue Ridge Road. 

Raleigh’s hot housing market appears to be finally cooling down. In August, the median price of Wake County real estate decreased by $9,750 to $455,000.

Eyes on the road! 68.9% of distracted drivers are selecting music, while texting accounts for only 19.2%.
