Several organizations and downtown businesses are urging the public to "join the conversation" about a proposed plan to relocate Red Hat Amphitheatre, which would involve permanently closing a block of South Street to traffic. Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin has emphasized the importance of the amphitheatre for the city's future, stating that losing Red Hat could mean losing the future of downtown. Carey and Lelia Kidd, who opened Element Gastropub near City Plaza during the pandemic as a show of confidence in Raleigh’s downtown, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss their concerns and the need for greater input from business owners about the amphitheatre’s future.
