North Carolina’s 2026 election rules are on hold after public outcry stalls new voter ID and mail-in ballot measures, while GOP flips script on Roy Cooper, now calling him “dangerously soft-on-crime” ahead of his Senate showdown with Michael Whatley. Downtown Raleigh gears up for a major makeover with a new amphitheater, a 600-room hotel, and automated parking — all set to transform the cityscape. Meanwhile, Durham’s Nzinga’s Kitchen closes after 12 years as the owner steps away to pursue nursing school and family, hosting a farewell bash. And in Cary, K38 Baja Grill opens its first location this Saturday, bringing spicy Mexican flavors and live music to the area — their seventh spot overall.
