Loved shopping downtown. Would trade it for the mall in a skinny minute! I despise and rarely go to the mall.

Lived in or near Fayetteville all my life and can honestly say Hay Street is the best it's been since before the mall was built. Pre-mall was the best

I remember the Mall being built. I also remember shopping in the Capitol many times.....if you had to shop somewhere else, there was Eutaw Village, Tallywood and Bordeaux.....the age of shopping centers.

Lived in or near Fayetteville all my life and can honestly say Hay Street is the best it's been since before the mall was built. Pre-mall was the best, from then till now was a very dark time. The last few years are much better, not the same as it was, but still good.

It's no longer the Hay Street of the 70's, 80', or even the 90's. There's a pretty decent nightlife going on there

....that sounds encouraging. The Hay St of the 70's was vastly different than the one of the 90's. There was a booming nightlife there in the 70's, but not the nightlife you are referring to now I am certain.

With the changes Mr. Levinson's visions have brought about in Anderson Creek, I have faith that he will be able to put this building to good use. Downtown Fayetteville has changed a lot, and there is still a lot more to be done, but if this building is repurposed properly I feel there will be hope for more good things to come to downtown Fayetteville. It's no longer the Hay Street of the 70's, 80', or even the 90's. There's a pretty decent nightlife going on there now and quite a few businesses, restaurants, a theater, venues for private parties, and other things that are drawing folks downtown day and night. People are developing lofts over the existing business facades and seem to be enjoying living downtown. There's even a nice parking deck that's easily accessible and free on nights and weekends. Would love to see a department store on Hay Street again. 100 block of Person Street is also seeing positive changes.
