Nancy McFarlane served four terms as Raleigh's mayor from 2011-2019. It's safe to say that when she first arrived in Raleigh she had no idea she'd end up being the face of the city--in fact, she wasn't even sure she wanted to stay! But stay she did, and she became active in her neighborhood and her children's schools (all while starting her own business), and then her friends' political campaigns and, eventually, her own.She sat down to talk with Podcast Raleigh about what led her into public service, the challenges of being the new person on the City Council, adjusting to life as mayor, the acquisition of Dix Park, her vision for Raleigh's future and a host of other things.We also discuss a piece of Raleigh's skyline (depending on where you were looking from) that came down, how you can give input to shape Raleigh's Greenway, and how the coronavirus is having effects locally.Special thanks to our sponsor, Steele Residential--check them out for buying, selling or renting!Subscribe/rate Podcast Raleigh on your favorite podcast sites:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-raleigh/id1458907220Google: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Inzk5woxrsjwf3zhd5vv3av4yeiStitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/podcast-raleighSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6b3dVvLJfO0EqvDGQaFTAP?si=QrcfEq8WSE2h3aEZSGV0pQ
