About a month ago, I made a post about a place called West Side Stories. It was just a picture of the outside, nothing more. Shortly after that post I came to realize that a good friend of mine, Drew [pictured above], worked as a bartender there. One of the first few posts to this blog was about people working the late shift, and Drew was one of those folks.
As odd as it seems due to the nature of this site, I am a morning person and I arrived at West Side Stories well before it gets packed and full of people.
It is certainly worth visiting. You have:

  • Great beats
  • friendly people
  • lots of pretty ladies
  • awesome bartenders

Garland H. Jones Building

According to the Wake County official web site, this building houses certain Human Services department programs, the Register of Deeds and the Revenue Department. The Garland H. Jones building is located at 300 S. Salisbury St. and is one of the remaining examples of modernism that prevailed in the 50s and 60s in downtown Raleigh.
