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

Moving Two Giant Houses




These two houses are currently located on Peace Street, across from Peace College. They are in the process of being moved, but I don’t know where their final destination is.
It is somewhat ironic that the likelihood of a house being moved from its original location in order to preserve it is directly proportional to how old it is and how large it is–two factors that make moing them much more difficult to do.

Playing The Mandolin On The Corner

This is Duncan. He was playing the mandolin in front of Sadlack’s Heroes (previous articles on Sadlack’s–part 1 and part 2). If you aren’t familiar with a mandolin (I wasn’t), it is just like a violin, but is plucked like a guitar.

Raleigh’s Downtown Ambassadors



Pictured above are Angel (top) and Lamont (above). They are two of Raleigh’s Downtown Ambassadors. On bicycle patrol, they serve as additional eyes and ears for the RPD. While on patrol they are responsible for a particular district (Warehouse, Glenwood, etc). I admittedly do not know the full scope of their job responsibilities, but at face value it seems like an awesome job–get paid to ride around Raleigh at night and get to know everyone coming downtown.
