Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

City Council Yard Sign


After a neutral position on the upcoming elections, the writer of this blog has decided to second The Indy’s endorsement of Helen Tart for Raleigh City Council At-Large. I bumped in to her at the Oakwood Dog Park handing out fliers for her campaign.
Two of the recurring themes from this blog are historic preservation and dog-friendly businesses and places. She led the creation of the Oakwood Dog Park (unknown to me until I read the flyer) and she has a position against teardowns except for circumstances in which the neighborhood has a plan to preserve the character.
