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

The Big Easy


Last weekend after First Friday I went out with a friend to The Big Easy. I had never been there up until that point. Was a nice enough place. The building design was beautiful, the environment was very calm and relaxing.



Jen and Seanette in on a joke I missed.

Elvis Tribute at the Raleigh Little Theater

The past Friday I continued on in the same area as last week, the NCSU campus area of Hillsborough St.

Part of what I am trying to show people in this blog is the multitude of things going on in Raleigh’s night life. I usually just go to a random area and start taking pictures. For this photo series, I happened to hear what seemed to be a concert, but I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. I was walking down Clark Ave., close to the Cameron Village area.

I started sorting things out and guessed that it was something at the Raleigh Little Theater. As I approached, I quickly realized that it was a tribute to The King! Watching Keith Henderson perform Elvis songs was a real treat. Had I known this was happening, I would have brought a longer lens (better reach from far away) to capture the show.

Pantana’s Pool Hall is a place I didn’t know existed until the night I grabbed these photos. It is located in a red building with no sign or labels of any sort. It is across from Pantana Bob’s ( PB’s) on Hillsborough St.
