Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Medianera is a Spanish word used to describe a wall shared by two buildings. In Barcelona it is frequently used to describe a wall of a building that retains characteristics or artifacts of an adjacent building that has been torn down. One of the most easily noticed is the one off of Wilmington Street, as seen above.
There is an exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of History titled A Thousand Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans that is one of the most moving I have ever witnessed. It was a project started in 2003 by Martin Tucker, a Photography instructor at the Sawtooth School for Visual Art in Winston-Salem.
As mentioned last week, the Lump Gallery Benefit was on August 15th at their studio/gallery on South Blount Street.
Your favorite beer was there, provided that your favorite beer is PBR.
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!
