Waiting for Whole Foods
More N North Raleigh News
From Sue Stock's Taking Stock blog

It looks like Whole Foods is finally going to build a second store in Raleigh. The store will anchor a new shopping center in North Raleigh, off Six Forks and Strickland roads.
The good news is that the new store should be more accessible for folks in North Raleigh and should relieve some of the pressure on the existing Raleigh Whole Foods.
The bad news? Development is still pending approval of a rezoning application, and even with a speedy approval, the new store probably won't open until 2010.
What do you think? Is this the site you would have picked? And can you wait a couple of years? Share your thoughts with us at NRnews@newsobserver.com.
FEELING CRABBY: Jake the Crab is hanging out atop Crabtree Valley Mall for a few days. The big inflatable crustacean is to announce the new McCormick & Schmick's seafood restaurant, which is scheduled to open Thursday.
What do you think? Do you like the look of Jake, or does it creep you out a bit? Let us know at NRnews@newsobserver.com.
