The guide was very knowledgeable, and they even had fake food set out in the dining room! The gardens were lovely, and you could wander in them for a while (we didn't, just because it was so hot). Definitely a reasonable price to pay for a 45-minute history lesson.

Well I've never reviewed a city before, it is daunting task. Now I can't say I've seen the whole…read morecity, not even 10% of it. What I have seen quite nice mostly on US 70 and NC 111. Lots of shopping opportunities and many places to eat. Also I have seen traffic is not bad for where I've been and the roads are in great shape. It is not a huge city it kinda feels like a large town. There are no high rise buildings like you see in the large city's. To me this city can grow on you if you stick around long enough. I'll just have to update each time I'm here, and pick out different parts that I see. Like at the intersection of US 70 and NC 111 they have Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Well not right on the corner, but while driving down US 70 you can see jets flying around. Last time I was down our oldest granddaughter was just fascinated with flying around. I had to stop at shopping center and park so she could watch them. Now that is some free entertainment, but you can't count on it every time though. Oh I almost forgot 2 of the best BBQ joints are there too, McCall's and Wilber's. So until my next visit.

I remember my first handful of visits to Raleigh as a teenager and seeing the Cree Shimmer Wall as…read moreI drove down S. McDowell St. as we passed the Raleigh Convention Center and Red Hat Amphitheater. At the time, I had no idea what it was but thought the way it shimmered in the light was beautiful. I've been a Raleigh resident for several years now and I can confidently say that even to this day, I have to stop and admire the wall whenever I'm nearby. "Shimmer Wall is a 9,284-square-foot piece of art adorning the west side of the Raleigh Convention Center. This spectacular piece is made up of 79,464 light and dark aluminum square pixels that change shape and disappear as the squares flap in the wind. The design team, including artistic inventor Ned Kahn, worked to put the thousands of 4-inch by 4-inch aluminum pixels hinged on louvers to allow for free motion on 4-foot by 4-foot grids. To aid nighttime "shimmering," the design team chose to backlight the wall with 56 LED fixtures from Cree, which have a lifespan of 15 years. The LED colors vary depending on the season or celebration. The wall depicts an image of an oak tree and has become a symbol for Raleigh, the City of Oaks." - LocalWiki How cool!!! I have heard that you can get a good nighttime glimpse of the Cree Shimmer Wall at night from the bridge on Boylan Street. I've never stopped to check it out there but that is also a great spot to take a snapshot of the city at night. I love this city.
