We have no idea which of “businesses” mentioned are actually condoning this Hallow’s Eve event but we have all seen the end-of-semester Hillsborough Hike render the street in a teaming chaos. I can also attest to the saturation of police officers that the city will provide, both marked and undercover, ready to arrest those violating open container and property laws. This fact alone will make it tough for the event to rival the Chapel Hill bohemian energy or the ECU anarchy.
It’s time to make traveling to ECU or Chapel Hill for Halloween a thing of the past. The Hillsborough Street Businesses are teaming up with student organizations to create a party similar to the Hillsborough Hike on Halloween Night. From Sadlacks to East Village, businesses will be open and serving alcohol. A $500 prize will be given to the best costume at East Village as well (1:45 am). If you’re interested in the costume contest, judges will be placed throughout all the businesses, so be sure to make the entire hike! Lets start a new tradition now…Get the word out, tell all your friends, the Party is in Raleigh this Halloween!
After years of debate and planning, Campbell University will move its law school to downtown Raleigh. The plan for the move has been in the works for sometime, and the move will not only remove Raleigh from the position of being the only state capital without a law school, but will add the city to the growing trend of urbanization of law schools.
Once, long ago in the far off late 70s and early 80s, in the Triangle area of North Carolina, there was a show. A show for kids that was hosted by a strangely animated puppet. A show that had a live video game and cartoons. A show that was nearly lost to the sands of time, and vague recollections of aging Gen Xers.
I was forwarded this link yesterday, and not having grown up here I don’t know much about it. But from the video I guess that in the Carter/Reagan era college kids and cops both watched Hana Barbera because they are running to catch them in the Barney intro. Barney’s Army seems to be such quintessential TV from the era that we had to share it here. I suppose that Barney’s was a way of branding Saturday Morning(Weekday Afternoon?) cartoons as part of Barney’s collection.
