BRIGHT CITYLIGHTS

Out of the long stretch of suburban growth we call North Raleigh, a new compact urban center has

emerged with North Hills at the midpoint and reaching from Trader Joe’s to Shelley Lake. Midtown is the place where smart city living meets traditional community, where bright city lights draw us in to share a meal or celebration, to mark the milestones of our lives and the pleasures of the day.

BRIGHT CITY

LIGHTScontinued

Gleaming, glittering, and golden, jewelry stirs something of the same fire in our hearts as those bright city lights. Personal stories are told in pieces that commemorate our relationships and special occasions, marking the important times in our lives when we are engaged, our babies born, our anniver-saries and holidays celebrated. And so, it comes as no surprise to discover that the story of Fink’s Jewelers, the newest bright light on Main Street at North Hills, is one of deeply per-sonal relationships going back to 1930 and that the company today is owned and operated by the third generation of the founding family. Marc Fink, the man behind the name, partners with premier de-signers in the jewelry industry, showcasing them in shop-within-a-shop boutiques at the store so your

experience will be the same as visiting the individual designers in their own boutiques. Fink’s story is quintessential Midtown, where vibrant neighborhoods and thriving businesses reflect our urban lifestyle that delivers the gift of less time spent in the car and more time for the important relationships in our lives, and for celebrating the pleasures of the day.
