Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Tucked underneath a nondescript building off of Salisbury Street across from the Wachovia tower lies Tha Basement Studios. They specialize in both recording and producing. They just recently opened for business, and offer sessions for $40 per hour.
Last Saturday (October 11th) the Alliance of AIDS Services – Carolina put on the 18th annual Works of Heart Art Auction at the AJ Fletcher Opera Theatre.
This year marked an exciting change to the normal process of carrying out the live part of the auction. Staff that were present throughout the audience were carrying lit wands to draw attention to as well as encourage bidders. It was almost in the same vein as flag semaphore, but much more rapid as well as festive.
A sign appeared recently in the storefront window of 133 E. Hargett St. announcing the soon-to-open Remedy Diner. This addition to the street scene will join The Landmark, Adam Cave Fine Art and other new establishments in the resurgence this block of Hargett has been experiencing in recent months. The name “Remedy†intrigued me, and I wondered if it might be a nod to the locally noted physician who once occupied this building many years ago.
This week Flashback Friday soars high above Raleigh’s beloved State Capitol. The sophisticated 19th century Greek Revival building has stood on this spot for 175 years. We’ll also take a peek at the history of this building and its predecessors. So climb aboard and enjoy the flight!
