Goodnight Raleigh » Paul Friedrich’s Days of Raleigh

Space Invaders Invade Raleigh

Paul Friedrich — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:37:42 +0000

Several people on the outskirts of the beltline were lucky enough to witness this scene last Autumn. A rigid formation of invaders (space invaders) began their formulaic pattern of destruction only to be stopped by a quick thinking tank with precision shooting abilities. Many who missed it said they’d have paid a quarter to have seen this.

If you like to re-use then you’ve been near this intersection where the space invaders invaded. If you know the blueliners, you’re right there at their house.

Pac-Man at the Old Building

Paul Friedrich — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:05:00 +0000

How good of a detective are you? Goodnight Raleigh tries its hand at making a riddle wrapped around a trivia question for you in this post-snowpocalypse Raleigh world.

Racing up a slow hill to Raleigh’s untouched renaissance street, Pac-Man’s endless chase brings him and the ghosts around and around Raleigh. At lunch there’s a stop at Char-Grill for a refreshing bag of hamburgers. After that, the chase is back on! This authentic scene was caught somewhere between!
