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

Moon Over The Marbles


This is the Marbles Kids Museum on Blount Street. Back in August, I posted a photo of what was then called Exploris. I certainly am not fond of the new name. I can understand that the name appeals to kids more, though. I mean heck, when taste tested against the same food without it, kids prefer food that has the McDonald’s logo. Brand perception starts at an early age, and Exploris could sound stuffy and boring to a young person.

2008 Goodnight, Raleigh!
