LOCALE A Lifestyle Update from Kane Realty Corporation
North Hills in Bloom has become a popular tradition over the years. People enjoy the spectacular tulips and greenery at North Hills that announce spring’s arrival and the beginning of soft warm days, made for leisurely al fresco lunches, Beach Music, Farmers’ Market, and playing outside for kids of all ages. This spring at North Hills, there is much more bursting with color than tulips. A fresh bed of primary colors is breaking out on the Commons as NH Kids kicks off with activities for busy moms and their fun-loving kids. Just look for the Giant Play Pen where the doors to creative play are open from 9am-1pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
NORTH HILLS IN BLOOM While you are watching the kids, artists may be drawing inspiration from your colorful life. The 2nd annual Plein Air Art Competition is underway, and artists will be painting scenes “in the open air” on virtually every corner of North Hills through May 31. Submissions will be judged and entered into a silent auction at the Plein Air Art Festival held June 19 & 20. When your canvas is 100 acres of mixed-use neighborhood, the palette changes endlessly. Have you noticed the colorful signs and awnings all around the new Harris Teeter grocery store? You might miss them driving down St. Albans, so be sure to stroll or drive on down to the corner of Park and Market Streets, where you’ll see a full spectrum of inviting shops and restaurants. Check out these hot new spots inside!
At North Hills, you’ll find a walkable world of retail shopping bliss, fashion direct from New York and Paris, the best restaurants in the Triangle, a multitude of corporate offices, Raleigh’s premier hotel, and a wealth of entertainment options including an outdoor concert series, a 16-screen cinema and a whole host of places to connect with friends.
