St. Agnes Hospital was a vital sanctuary for Black patients and doctors who were barred from white…read morehospitals during the Jim Crow era. After a fire destroyed the original wooden facility, the monumental stone landmark we see today was built in its place. Construction began in 1905, led by the very students of Saint Augustine's College. They quarried the granite from the college, and the stones were laid by hand. These students managed to get it done even with the segregation. Each stone laid went towards building a future they were told they couldn't have. More than just a hospital, it housed North Carolina's first nursing school for Black students, training approximately 700 nurses. Despite being denied state and local resources, St. Agnes thrived, becoming a top-rated surgical center between Washington, D.C. and New Orleans. The success of the Civil Rights movement and the integration of healthcare led to the hospital's closure in 1961. It was recognized as a Raleigh Historic Landmark in 1979, and the site is now being preserved. Steel beams currently stabilize the granite shell. We need to ensure the story of medical segregation is not forgotten, and at the same time, remember the legacy of those whose hard work and grit changed their community.

I'd wager that most of the folks in the lobby at 101 City Hall Plaza are waiting to discuss their…read moreinordinately high water bill with someone. Parking is a bit of a pain but, once you find a spot (if you get desperate, just use a parking deck) and enter, take a number, and have a seat in the clean, modern seating area till your number is called. Bring a book and keep in mind that, if you come during your lunch break, you will most likely spend your entire break here, so plan accordingly. The folks who work in the water management office are nice enough, but they only kind of want to help you. In fairness, if there were a lobbyful of disgruntled customers there to argue about their bills, I might be reluctant to help them, too. My recent three visits were about attempting to bypass the $50 setup fee for our switch from a billing company to city water after our move from an apartment complex to a townhome. The water management office needs a really specific letter from your billing company to do this. It must be on letterhead and state that you have paid all of your bills on time, including the dates the service started and ended, and that you have paid your last bill. This was a challenge for me to procure, because I had been paying my bills to Vertex, a billing company, not an actual service provider, and they do not provide letters. Vertex sent me a detailed list of all the bills I've paid (on time) since we began working with them in 2004, but this was not sufficient for the City of Durham. Vertex doesn't, however, provide letters on letterhead because, again, they are just a billing company. I then got a letter, on letterhead, from the property manager at my apartment complex, but all they were willing to say was that I paid my last bill. That letter, even combined with my billing statement from the last six years, was not sufficient documentation to get out of the setup fee. That, in my opinion, is pretty lame. The City needs to have in place provisions for people like myself, who have been working with a third-party billing company for water services. All that said, it is really convenient to have auto billing---although they advise against it, so you can review your bill to make sure you don't have any leaks, etc.---so bring a voided check with you to set that up. You can also pay online if you prefer that. Bills are bimonthly, however, which is why I prefer autopay, because I'm afraid I'll forget.

Hubs and I live in Downtown WF so we walk to the event, which is a huge advantage with the folks I see looking for parking each year. This year, the event was on Taylor Street, Brooks Street, and White Street! Also a new addition to MITS was the Beer Garden at White Street Brewery. For those folks like me without kids, it was nice to browse around shopping for some pottery items, and then sit down at the Beer Garden, and watch the featured band on the main stage (also on White Street). For those of you with kids, this is a great place for the whole fam! Taylor street was mostly the "kid friendly" area with face painting, bike riding area, the WFFD has a mock burning house (always a crowd pleaser, oh and it is less intimidating and dangerous than it sounds), and overall good kid fun! If you live in the WF area, or surrounding area and want a great way to start off the spring/summer outdoor events, this is a great way to do it each year! It is usually held the last weekend of April, or first weekend of May. Another reason to love living in WF!
