Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week’s installment of Flashback Friday features a 1966 postcard of the arena designed by Matthew Nowicki at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Dorton Arena is the most significant piece of modern architecture in North Carolina, and probably all of the Southeast.
This weekend the Contemporary Art Museum will officially open with a catered street festival and black tie event Friday, and the free admission official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday.
It’s my belief that CAM’s opening in this beautiful building in the Warehouse District is the greatest thing to happen to Downtown Raleigh since the new Convention Center opened almost three years ago.
The Bell Tower and Learning Resources Center with a couple of uprooted trees
Shaw University was one of the places to be hit by the series of storms which rained down tornadoes upon North Carolina. While the devastation is still being assessed across the city and state, Shaw was one of the places in Raleigh hit pretty hard. There are several large and old uprooted trees nears the Bell Tower, sections of the roof of Estey Hall were blown off, and the Student Center sustained a great deal of damage.
Although classes were cancelled for the remainder of the semester, efforts are underway for students across NC college campuses to come together to clean up the damage.
