Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This week’s Flashback Friday postcard depicts the Meredith College campus from an unusual viewpoint — that is, from the southwest, rather than looking due north toward the administration building, as is typically seen.
One hundred years ago, on September 30, 1914,  a familiar downtown landmark — Raleigh’s City Market – opened its doors to the public. Join us this week in celebrating the centenary of this historic and venerable market house.
A centennial celebration will take place at City Market on Moore Square this Friday, October 3, beginning at 4pm. The party will feature live music, street performers, and a special menu by Big Ed Watkins (Big Ed’s Restaurant) and Paul Reams (Smoked Out ‘n’ Fried). ‘City Market Centennial Ale’Â will be offered by Triangle Brewing Co. The festivities will run until 11pm.
Our Flashback Friday postcard tour of the state government buildings encircling Capitol Square continues this week with a visit to the Agriculture Building on Edenton Street. This will be the fifth stop on the tour, which we first embarked upon in May 2013.
