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

Community Grocery on Oberlin

This place has been serving hot dogs since the early 1970s, but the building has been around for about 100 years.  It is located in the Oberlin Village area.

319 West Martin Street

The sign above the door says Intervolve, yet the DXR.06 letters are still on the door. This is odd because Design Expo Raleigh was held here in 2006 (which I ended up volunteering time to help with), and then the place sat vacant for some time. I am unsure of when Intervolve took over this location. They either decided they liked the DXR letters or thought it too much trouble to scrape them off.
Their web site states that

Intervolve, Inc. is the pioneer in providing supply chain software and services for the beverage industry that leverage web and mobile technologies.

Capitol Tire Service

I realize the sign on the building says Co., but everywhere on the internet it is referred to as Capitol Tire Service. The internet is always correct.
