Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night
Every city has its share of buildings considered “eyesores”, and the AT&T building (former BellSouth building) certainly qualifies as that. Built in 1948 and standing 8 stories tall, it creates a virtual pedestrian desert on the block bounded by Hargett, McDowell, Morgan, and Salisbury Streets.
The workers inside the North Carolina Association for Plumbing Heating and Cooling Control building at 413 Glenwood Ave. most likely prepared coffee that was barely strong enough to defend itself. Workers quaffed cup after cup of mediocre coffee and were just fine with it. Years later, that very same building would house Café Helios, a coffee house on Glenwood South.

Today at noon Mike Alston (General Manager) and Kelly Reid (former music director) of WKNC will be on The State of Things with Frank Stasio.
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!
