Raleigh Happenings is a tool where citizens can connect with their surroundings. It values support of local business and a sense of community through participation. How does it work? 

We'll take a look at Shelby and her interaction with Raleigh Happenings.

Shelby is greeted by some options when she enters the site. She can find out what is going on today, plan for the future, or take a look at her favorite locations.

She decides to check out what is going on today.

Raleigh Happenings finds neighborhoods near her current location.

After choosing Hillsborough Street, Shelby is greeted with deals and events going on in the area. She sees one that catches her eye.

She redeems the deal for some delicious Hotbox pizza.

Shelby doesn't want to eat alone, so she shares the deal on Facebook.

The next day Shelby wants to check out what her friends are up to. She logs into Raleigh Happenings and checks out the live feed of her friends' activities. She notices that Flula found a deal for Noodles and Company, her favorite. 

From the feed Shelby is able to access the deal and redeem it. She calls her BFF Flula and in minutes they're on their way to some delicious Wisconsin Mac and Cheese.
