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

Biscuit Station Restaurant



I guess it should come as no surprise that this place has no web presence. About all I can find are directory listings and a few review sites. I’ve often wondered if the place was still open, but similar to Finch’s Restaurant, I am rarely on that side of town early in the morning. I finally did go to Finch’s and it was an amazing breakfast and a unique experience.
Similar to that post, I’ll vow to visit the place sooner or later. In the meantime, does anyone have any opinions on this place?

The Amtrak Station



Raleigh’s Amtrak Station is served by the trains: The Silver Star, the Carolinian, and the Piedmont. It’s the second busiest in the southeast.

Convention Center Construction





Convention Center construction is moving right along. It is shaping up to look very much like airports and other towers I made with Legos as a kid. The giant glass part looks just like the inverted 3 x 4 x 5 windshield that was popular in many Lego sets. The rooftop above it looks exactly like a white 6 x 10 plate, especially with the writing on the insulation. This isn’t an insult, far from it. I find it fascinating, as well as inspiring.
