Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This past Sunday at 7:16PM, Raleigh lost one of its most beloved and inspirational characters–Russell Lee, a.k.a. “Sho Nuff”. His family is unable to find life insurance information for him, and needs help with funeral and other final expenses.
One of our readers, Dave Delcambre, College of Design graduate and supporter of the Color Wall restoration project, has written an in-depth review of the Joe Cox Exhibition of Paintings and Works on Paper, which is published on his blogsite, ‘nc art blog’. Also, several of Dave’s previously unpublished photos of Joe’s works in the exhibition may be seen on the Color Wall Web site.
If you have not done so already, there is still time to view the collection of 18 Joe Cox paintings and works on paper at the Lee Hansley Gallery Too, 126 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh. The gallery is also open 6-9 pm this Friday night (April 2) for a First Friday showing. The exhibition closes April 17.
Downtown Raleigh, almost a year ago, from a parking deck on McDowell Street. The weather then was almost as nice as what we are having today!
Mecca Restaurant is known to many locals as the quintessential lunch spot and the oldest family-run restaurant in Raleigh (and probably in NC). I’m guessing there are many like me, though, that didn’t know until recently (or at all) that they also serve breakfast.
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.
