Tyler's at Seaboard now (finally) open

According to an email floating around most of the downtown email listservs, the long-awaited Seaboard Station location of Tyler's Taproom is now open. (And there was much rejoicing.)

I just wanted to let the neighborhood know that Tyler’s at Seaboard Station is open. In talking to the manager it sounds like they aren’t going to publicly announce it until Sunday but I just had a few beers and a nice meal over there. They have tables with taps that you can pour yourself and it just tells you how many pints you have had at the end of the night!!! (Dangerous!) Only way the night could be better is if the Hurricanes can win for once… [Note: That actually did happen.]

FYI, the place was only half full but the parking lot was overflowing. The street parking on Halifax was unused but on busy night you’d have to park over by Peace China to get a spot, unless you are lucky.


Thanks to "Ryan" for the update.

Check out 'The Point,' the new home for NCSU's chancellor


The home for N.C. State's chancellor appears to be completed (or very close to it). The new building on Centennial Campus replaces an older structure just off Hillsborough Street near the Belltower that, well, has apparently been in need of repair for some time.

This link will take you to some great photos of the new building, called "The Point." It was designed by College of Design Dean Marvin Malecha.
