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

A New Permanent Fixture on Hillsborough Street

Chances are you’re familiar with the likes of the Barrel Monster. From worldwide counterculture icon to humble icon at a local arts festival, the “Barrel Monster” has most recently established itself as a permanent fixture on Hillsborough Street, but now has a lady friend at his side.

The most recent creation by Joe Carnevale is of a couple overlooking the ongoing construction from Hillsborough Street toward D.H. Hill library.

Now, when did those dudes appear up there? I parked right there Tuesday night and didn’t notice! I’ll keep my eyes to the skies from now on.
