I really wish this project would get rolling. I would love to see an Angelika Film Center in this location!! - restaurants and coffee shops with outdoor dining! - boutique shops - Dean & Deluca, Del Frisco's, Martini Park (if anyone is listening ;) So much wealth in this area of Cary... they really should capitalize on the opportunity. It could be a great place to gather before and after concerts at Koka Booth.

HT was originally the anchor on the Kildaire Farm side until they moved across the street. The Tryon Road side never has had a successful anchor, while the backside had a movie theater at first, but that left years ago. I would love to see a commercial/retail/residential mix. Just visited Rockville, MD and love Rockville Town Square. Now Cary would NEVER do anything this nice (or tall)., but I would hate to see just another stupid shopping center with a nails store, a Jersey Mike's and Radio Shack.

Yes, it was a great redevelopment, but hardly the kind of visions we need. Some day developers and town/city planners will have to learn to do what's right. I surely hope that the future incarnation of Waverly Place will be a more urban place. As for the Waverly place of yester years, I still remember going to Seldom Blues... What a great venue that was!!! Waverly Place was probably the nicest shopping center in the area and could have benefited from a few infills within its boundaries - in an urban fashion, of course - but we all know how things went. I agree with Amy G.'s and NC Scoop's comments.

I would had definitely frequented Waverly a lot more if they did put a Dean & Deluca in. I wonder if/ when the Triangle will see a Dean & Deluca. Charlotte has one... so there is hope!

I always thought it was a neat shopping center, but it hardly ever drew a crowd, except when the movie theater was there. I went to that theater a lot as a teenager. My friends and I used to go to a movie and then get coffee at Paradigm Coffee House. Unfortunately, cops started running all of us off and we stopped going.
