Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
The Office was pretty old by night club standards downtown. It started in 2001 in a former coal warehouse dating back to the latter part of the 19th century. The last time I found myself in the area, I noticed the sign and valet stand gone. It looks to be closed for good.
Pictured above is Brian, a driver that will get you home in a unique way–inside your vehicle. The idea is simple: you call a number (877-No DUI NC) and one of Zingo’s four drivers arrives on a bike that can fold up and fit inside your vehicle. The Zingo driver takes you home in your car, and rides away in the fold-up scooter.
It looks like Raleigh has its own permanent and three-dimensional example of pareidolia– the phenomena of seeing something significant (usually a face or religious icon) in an inanimate object. This one is visible from the Boylan Avenue Bridge.
Want a tiny physical reminder of Raleigh? City-Blox are 2"x3" photographic prints mounted directly to wood blocks. You can support this blog by buying them at Etsy.
