This is a feeding ground for the homeless by the churches and people who do not live in the area. One of the favorites is chicken and the homeless just toss their bones everywhere causing a choking hazard for dogs. More

Rescue mission or church or something feeds the homeless, it gets pretty bad. Many of the homeless could use the help, some can be confrontational and a bit entitled, but the place is packed with homeless on the days that the churches put out food and sunsequently lots of litter and trash is left around.

Beautiful place... but be careful. The bulk of my time in this area was honestly to do mission work for the homeless. More

Moore Square, one of Raleigh's original squares, could be a lovely area. Instead, our spineless city government (this means you, former Mayor Charles Meeker) handed it over to the local bum population. The situation's not helped by a homeless shelter directly across the street. More

Sketchy area unless there is an event. If you want to visit the city market (across the street) it is nice. This is one of the very few areas of downtown Raleigh we just pass by. More

Moore Square is a regular destination for us, with and without 'out-of-town' visitors. We cruise ArtSpace, dine and listen to music in TirNaNog, enjoy various events (especially FirstFriday), shop/cafe in the historic cobbled streets of City Market, enjoy sidewalk music and park events, and more. This is a gem just a couple blocks from Raleigh's beautiful downtown and Fayetteville street. More

We've been going to MOORE SQUARE for years, whether it be for concerts, events, craft fairs, local vendors, etc. and it's a great place to relax and take in the city. It's in walking distance from Woody's City Market, tons of restaurants, downtown Raleigh, museums, the bus station, etc. They have a summer concert series there in the summer (or... More
