Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
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.
On Caswell Square (one of the five original public spaces on the 1792 plan for Raleigh) and adjacent to the Oral Hygiene Building lies an overlooked gem of late Victorian Raleigh architecture; the NC School for the Blind and Deaf. With the destruction of ‘Raleigh’s Own Castle‘ in 1967 and later the Park Hotel in 1975, this structure stands with the former Leonard Medical School building as one of the last two remaining examples of turreted public buildings in the area.
This Friday (July 31) will see the DJs and VJs of 120 Mins of Music presenting a flashback 80s party that is sure to ellicit some great memories of that fabulous decade. 120 Mins of Music is the same group that put on Rave Til Dawn, so it looks to be a very fun party.
