Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
On Tuesday night, students from the NC State student body came together to celebrate the rising prominence of fashion design at the University. What seems like a perfectly natural evolution, given State’s top caliber design and textile programs, has been most popularly recognized during the annual Art to Wear fashion show.
I suppose it’s the thought that counts. Or, so I thought! As I was taking this picture I assumed there had to be a reason for the misspelling. It’d be very hard to believe that someone would misspell Christmas, especially this close to the event — and it turns out that there was a very good reason for it.
The Kirby Derby, Raleigh’s most popular home-grown, sponsor free, non-traditional block party, made its ninth appearance on the quaint neighborhood adjacent to Western Boulevard and Dorothea Dix campus. This year, the theme of the event was ‘The Future is Now’ and it provided for a lot of martian themed floats and sleek, space age soapbox cars.
