Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
I first met Russell Lee (aka “Sho Nuff”) at 1304 Bikes around a year ago, and then later on the First Friday bike rides. I’ve also seen him in passing a few times at several area bars, but it was only a few weeks ago that I first talked with him to learn a bit more about the man on the awesome bike.
Peering out from a rooftop over the empty Dillon buildings in the Warehouse District, you can see a more closeup view that is similar to the very familiar Boylan Bridge perspective.

Although my ‘bar hopping’ days are long gone, I do enjoy going out on occasion for drinks with friends to any of downtown Raleigh’s ‘public houses.’ One of my favorites is the Landmark Tavern on Hargett St. This quintessential neighborhood bar has been open for little more than a year now, yet it has already achieved, well, landmark status. The low-lit interior is cozy and well appointed with wood paneling, stained glass panels, antique-style light fixtures and comfy booths. It is a very inviting space. There’s even a private outdoor beer garden.
