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

The Street Genie at the Ladies Shop


This man was belting out some beautiful sounds on the corner of Hargett and Wilmington Streets on Friday night. The Street Genie is the name he gave me, and I can understand why after listening for a few minutes. He wanted me to make sure the lady in the background was in the picture, and I happily obliged.

Capitol Lights

The North Carolina Capitol building is a great place to visit during the day and at night. Under the lights it takes on a new appearance.
Did you know Edenton and New Bern were both once the capital of North Carolina before Raleigh? Read more fun facts at the state’s Capitol website.
