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

If We Quit Voting Will They All Go Away?


These aren’t my words, but those of an ironic vandal that slapped this bumper sticker on a utility box across from the Capitol building.

Skateboarding at NC State

No, unfortunately it isn’t a class that is offered. Although it would be difficult to give number grades, it seems much more worthwhile than say water step aerobics or squash. That’s just my opinion though.
I started out skateboarding when I was 14 or 15, but never really got any good. I could so stuff like boardslide, grind, 180, and shovit over some gaps, rails, and ledges. That was about it.
Unfortunately my flash batteries were dead when I saw these kids out skating, so I couldn’t get any good pics of them doing various tricks off the platform.

UPDATE: I have uploaded these are several more in the original resolution from First Night Raleigh at my fotki gallery.
