Both times I just walked in, paid my money and the wait was less than 10 minutes. The staff at the fingerprinting office is professional and polite. They answer any and all questions and if I need prints again I will head here again.

Very knowledgeable experience with great insight into what's to come for the notary and mortgage future. Aside from having my car stolen from while staying at the City Center Courtyard, I had a great time. The information was vital and the sponsors were gracious to have provided breakfast and dinner. I missed out on the karaoke & game night, but I hear a time was had. On Time Signing Unika B. & Co.

This could easily rival many main branches of most libraries. I was here for a bit to get out of the hotel room and do a bit of exploring. On the second floor are several tables with power to the surface. Comfortable seating. And a wifi network that worked really well. Big areas with stacks of books and a large parking lot. It is all you need and I am a fan. [Review 11629 overall, 1410 of 2019.]

It's nice to past a couple hours of time if you're already nearby but if you're looking to actually…read moreget work done I would reconsider. Though it is very quiet there is limited seating and the seating available is not comfortable/not accommodating for studying/working purposes. There is not much table room and I'm someone who likes to have my drinks and papers laid out with my laptop. The parking situation isn't the best due to it being in Village District but overall to be expected

I really enjoyed my visit to the North Carolina General Assembly, AKA: The North Carolina…read moreLegislature. Folks here are so nice, the building has a roof-top walking and sitting area and it's open to the public M to F. Wish I had to more time to explore and chat with some of the legislators. Highly recommend a visit if in the area--it's a public building open to everyone--you have to go through security screening at the door to get in. It's just a couple of blocks from the State Capital and the History Museum. Also great to just walk around all the historic well marked streets in downtown Raleigh. We parked in the covered garage adjacent to the Supreme Court but there is parking all over it seemed. Famous line from the visit: When the woman at reception learned we were visiting from California she said: "You folks there have a different way of doing things..."

Generally, the food is K&W quality with the entrees being hit or miss but the salad generally being pretty good. The banana pudding is very good. The service used to be better when they would bus your table for you, but now you have to bus your table. If you are looking for a cheap cafeteria lunch this is the place to go, if you are looking for anything else you will be very disappointed. The service tends to be very hit or miss depending on the mood of the staff.

I stumbled on this while looking for things to do in the area while attending a book signing. Being a book lover and author, this was an obvious choice. My friend and I explored the first two floors (we were pressed for time) and were in awe. I wish Charleston had something like this because I would be here every single day working on my next manuscript. There were several rooms, desks, and seating areas for readers and students alike to choose from. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light that offsets the bright interior lights. They have a wide collection of titles and studies! Highly recommend that you check it out. Just remember to be quiet and respectful as students may be present working on their projects.

On the other hand, my son complained about the slow public wi-fi, which is a pretty big negative when you're studying using your laptop. He said it took 10 minutes just to get connected to the wi-fi. But for that, this seems like a nice spot to study if you've got a personal hotspot (or access otherwise to faster Internet). Hopefully, there is faster wi-fi for NC State students.

North Carolina could do a better job on their historical markers and this one is an example of…read moreneeding improvement. The very small marker reads, "President of Raleigh and Gaston Railroad; president of the State Bank; publisher of the Raleigh 'Minerva' 1803-1810. Home is 3 blks. S.W." If you go online, you'll find much more information on the webpage for the marker. "William Boylan, a journalist and planter, was born in 1777 in Somerset County, New Jersey, the son of John and Elizabeth Boylan. In 1796 he moved to Fayetteville to enter the newspaper printing business with his uncle, Abraham Hodge, the publisher of the North Carolina Minerva and the Fayetteville Advertiser. Three years later he moved to Raleigh, where he began printing tracts for the Federalist Party. In 1803 he began publishing the newspaper Minerva which continued in press until 1820, although Boylan sold his interests in the paper in 1810." There's more online and I think you'll be culturally richer for reading it. [Review 11628 overall, 1409 of 2019.]
