Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Bike to Work Week 2010 kicks off Friday, May 14th from 3-6PM at Marbles Kids Museum on Moore Square. The event will host a kids bike rodeo, a giveaway of kids helmets, a Cycling and Environmental Expo, and a group ride through Raleigh at 6PM.
The event is part of the national Bike To Work Week, which is May 17th through May 21st. It is being sponsored locally by GoTriangle and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Lobby of the Lawyers Building
In a few days, Wake County will hold a ground breaking ceremony for the new Justice Center on Salisbury Street. One year ago, two buildings and a parking deck were demolished to make way for this new court house. While most (including myself) focused on the loss of the iconic Garland Jones Building, there were few voices lamenting the loss of the older Lawyers Building.
What made this building significant is that it was the last remaining part of the once grand State Theater, which opened in 1924 and closed around 1975. The Lawyers Building served as the entrance and lobby.
The second annual Bee Ball hosted by the Beehive Collective is Saturday, May 22nd at the Berkeley Cafe. Last year’s event was a real hoot with some fantastic music and dapper-dressed folks, this year will be no different. Tickets are $10 and the money goes to a good cause.
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.
