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

Two Old Cars

These are two old and abandoned cars on West Johnson street, between Peace St. and Capital Boulevard. I have no idea of the make and model of either.

Old Building Near West Morgan Street Bridge

I’m not sure if this building is in use. I’m pretty sure it’s vacant. It’s neat the West Morgan Street bridge.

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.
