Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Flashback Friday gives you an aerial view of Bicentennial Plaza this week. So let’s take a peek at how the area transitioned from residential enclave to state government complex over the last 130 years — from the air.
This week Flashback Friday checks in at Raleigh’s once prestigious luxury hotel, The Velvet Cloak Inn. Sadly, just as in the legend of the cloak of Elizabethan courtier, Sir Walter Raleigh, the City of Raleigh’s namesake, the Velvet Cloak is nowadays covered in  mud.
The Women of the Confederacy Monument sits facing Morgan Street, apart from the other memorials on a scuplture-crowded Capitol Square. Many visitors probably never even notice it. So, Flashback Friday will visit the monument this week and reveal its story.
