State Highway Commission and Museum of Art in one building on East Morgan St.
I found an old photo taken off the NCDOT website of the building in 1923. Looks like the art museum came after the Highway commission.
I’ll be out of town for several days so blogging slows down yet again. I’ll be somewhere that has plenty of skyscrapers to make you skyline fanatics pee your pants.
Is Hillsborough St. too dark at night? The trees are great during the day but add to the darkness at night. It is going to take more lights then Fayetteville St. to properly light up the sidewalks here.
aaahhhhh lights!
There is always a train in downtown Raleigh. I actually missed this one on the list of murals I made awhile back.
Fencing is there to keep us out. Demolition soon?
The Morning Times is one of a handful of downtown Raleigh coffee shops. Give a shout out to your favorite one.
On the 200 block of Fayetteville St. are some stairs leading below ground. If you went to see the art on display this past weekend during sparkCon, or you’ve got sweet, homeboy connections, you were able to see the great space deep in downtown Raleigh’s “foundation”. It doesn’t take a genius to see the framework of a bar being built down there; at least that’s what I’m putting my money on.
Coming soon: Manhattan Cafe and more sidewalks on this block of Wilmington St. I’ve always thought that one way traffic and construction is holding this street back. This block will have to deal with The Edison construction soon but overall, Wilmington St. seems to be getting a facelift.
The newer sections of Blount Street Commons are starting to rise out of the ground.
