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

Travis of SkateNC.com

The guy above (Travis) runs of skatenc.com, a website about skateboarding in North Carolina.

What makes this random street encounter more interesting than the subject of skateboarding itself is the fact that we share a few mutual friends, from the area I grew up in, Hendersonville, NC.

They are always mentioning how I should meet up with this guy named Travis that runs skatenc.com because he lives in Raleigh. While walking in the warehouse district on Saturday night, we were both admiring a desk with a note stating “take me home please”. It was then the conversation started and we realized we had the same friends. I finally bumped into this person that I had heard about.

In this photo he is showing off an origami book he found near a bridge.

If I were a single gentleman looking for a regular hangout spot on the weekends, this place would surely be it. Women seem to outnumber men by a factor of 3.

DJ Moonie spinning the beats

The DJ was playing good tracks and talented at scratching, the ladies plentiful, the bartenders fast and responsive. The interior design was amazing.

Another Horse-Drawn Carriage


I had made a post back in September about a horse-drawn carriage downtown, but the picture didn’t turn out so well. Luckily for me, I got a second chance. I would really like to go out on the town in one of these.

This was taken in front of Second Empire on Saturday evening.
