Most folks know our little family loves spending time in down town Raleigh, we all (us and the kids) even collectively dream about our fancy sky rise apartment or sprawling Historic Oakwood home in the "city" we will have one day. If you are from out of town, or local and interested in discovering something new at home, here are a few of our FAVORITE things!

Take a bite out of history at Raleigh's oldest restaurant (and some sources claim NC) - CIrca 1930 . No frills or thrills, our favorite greasy spoon diner will have you up to your elbows in history and serve you cocktails with breakfast! BONUS!!!!
History buffs, you cannot miss this one! Grab a copy of the Historic Oakwood Cemetery book (by Bruce Miller and Robin Simonton) from the history museum and go on a wild scavenger hunt of love, affairs, local celebrities and historical figures. No dogs allowed though.....
