Olde Raleigh History

I always dread the point of a phone call when I get the inevitable snicker because I have to tell the operator at the phone/cable/etc company what street I live on. Glascock Street. Turns out it has some great historical significance, and was not just someone’s idea of an annoying joke.

Raleigh used to be full of great downtown movie theaters. Over the years, there have been over 20. Think it’s time to bring one back?

For all you State fans out there…

As any growing city does, Raleigh has had many staple businesses that have come and gone over the years. Natives often lament over their closings, and fondly remember the days you could go see a movie on Fayetteville at the Ambassador Theatre, and get fresh milk home delivery from the Pine State Creamery.

The business that eventually became the North Hills Dillard’s was once a small downtown furnishing company.
