Happy March! Its Dr. Suess’ birthday. If he were still writing poetry today, he’d write in Raleigh’s Creative District. Just sayin’.
Looking for something to do on First Friday? Check out Chris Bradley’s new exhibit, “Close One” at CAM Raleigh. If art isn’t your fancy try the Friday at 5 happy hour. This week, it’s at Tobacco Road Sports Bar. It’s an informal networking event that’s loosely organized by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance and includes some of Raleigh’s brightest and well-connected folks. Follow #friat5 on Twitter for updates.
What else is going on? See our interview with Jamie Meares owner of Furbish Studio. Awesome stuff. Cameron Village welcomed Chick-fil-A this week, the company’s first 2-story location. Don’t miss the recap from Triangle Wiki Day–it was a huge success. See how it was a great highlight for open source in Raleigh.
Enjoy our weekly updates that include Best of Southwest featuring Dalat Oriental Restaurant, Backyard Bistro, and The Pit and Parks in the Creative District with an update on Isabella Cannon Park. Have a great weekend in the Creative District!
