Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

The Corner of W. Martin And Salisbury Streets


This post kicks off a forthcoming series of photos taken from RBC Plaza.

Clyde Cooper’s And Progress


I can’t say I’ve ever been to Clyde Cooper’s BBQ (not a fan of BBQ), but I have a good amount of respect for a business in operation since 1938 (but only the same owner since 1988). A friend of mine works for Progress Energy and said that everyone there wanted Clyde Cooper’s to stay in the same location, despite the massive amounts of construction going on all around it. A good reason is more than likely the great food within such a short distance from work. Whatever the case for it’s continued existence, it’s a good thing to see.

New Wilmington Street Perspective

Wilmington Street is likely the most photographed street on this blog. For a similar but much lower altitude perspective, check out my post last month of the Wilmington Street cityscape.
