Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
This weekend the Contemporary Art Museum will officially open with a catered street festival and black tie event Friday, and the free admission official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday.
It’s my belief that CAM’s opening in this beautiful building in the Warehouse District is the greatest thing to happen to Downtown Raleigh since the new Convention Center opened almost three years ago.

Shaw University was one of the places to be hit by the series of storms which rained down tornadoes upon North Carolina. While the devastation is still being assessed across the city and state, Shaw was one of the places in Raleigh hit pretty hard. There are several large and old uprooted trees nears the Bell Tower, sections of the roof of Estey Hall were blown off, and the Student Center sustained a great deal of damage.
Although classes were cancelled for the remainder of the semester, efforts are underway for students across NC college campuses to come together to clean up the damage.
This bike had clearly been tossed around. A power transformer lies in the background.
Several tornadoes touched down across the state on Saturday. Countless roads on the east side of Raleigh are closed off, and crews from Raleigh Parks and Recreation, among several other departments and agencies, are working throughout the night to pick up the pieces left behind from the series of storms.
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!
