I haven't tried Crema yet. I have tried most of the other downtown Raleigh coffee shops. I'm excited about Spy Raleigh opening soon. It will have a club and coffee shop. I went in and met an owner and the manager. Here's what I found out: http://www.jefftippett.me/spy-...

Yep, same spot. I think they just finally repainted the logo that had faded almost completely away. Everything on the inside is basically the same.

Well, our service last night was fantastic. Our waiter was very nice and quite helpful.

Sounds really good. My AT&T reception is pretty good here but I'm still up for cutting my cell phone billl. Thanks for sharing. I will have to check it out.

This place has permanently closed, and it's a good thing! Very dry, overpriced pasty, yuck! It looks great in the case but dry and tasteless once you try it. Plus, at $6-$8 for one pastry, was too expensive. Glad it has closed down. I heard the owner couldn't pay his taxes or something.

Been going to Pitchfork for years, but I always find their lists pretty crappy and this one is no exception.

The best list for me to discover new music has been the end of year best music you haven't heard or something like that from the Onion. Discovered The Kingdom that way.

Some tracks from them on Daytrotter

Really enjoyed this post. i'd never been to pitchfork or lala, and am going to sit here sampling music for hours. Thanks.

Haven't tried the Cuban at the Times, but I love the Cuban pork sandwiches at Oakwood Cafe. They are excellent.

Don, according to WPAs site, you are absolutely correct. Wish it were a full band stop, but I'll take what I can get!

I heard it would just be a quartet in Raleigh - any details on that?

The Club Sandwich at The Remedy is fantastic - and HUGE! Raleigh Times' Grilled Cheddar, Tomato & Avacado is also a winner, as is their Shrimp Burger. (Cilantro Tartar sauce - YUM!)

I love the ABC too, but the Rockford's crabcake sandwich is really good too. I also love the baked chicken breast sandwich at Boondini's at Celebration at Six Forks...has really good cucumber dressing and awesome bread.

Third Place's "Plethora" has always been a favorite....though with their shortened hours these days, I get it rarely. But it's still high on my list.

The ABC is their best, but I would definitely encourage you to try other sandwiches at the Rockford - that place is my favorite place in town to get a sandwich, mainly because of the delicious diversity.

Thanks for coming back. No one was able to do what Raleighing did. I missed it the last couple of years.

I hope you do... or you need to think about some life changes.

I was using http://www.nexcess.net/ for a project last year and I was pretty happy with them.

The project folded but if I need a webhost I'm planning on going to them again.

Good luck with it!

No, just that I'll have to have a daily scrum with myself to discuss what I wrote about yesterday, what I am going to write about today, and what is preventing me from writing... and I'll be standing at the time.

Welcome back! The site is looking good.
Agile posts too? Does that mean we have daily scrums to discuss what we've read?

Sooo glad to see this! There are quite a few local bloggers these days, but I say the more the merrier. Each has its own slant on what is cool in Raleigh. Put them all together and your really get a fingerprint on what Raleigh is about (ie none of us can adequately cover all of this stuff alone!). While I'm really not so much into visual arts, others could not care less that some musical is coming to Memorial Auditorium. To each his own, that's cool (said like the VW to the Prius owner).

There will certainly be some overlap, and that's fine, too. I have no problem with 15 blogs all reporting that Dunkin' Donuts is moving to Hillsborough St. Each covers it in their own unique way, citing the business impact, traffic impacts, etc with each story.

Brevity is a virtue I once read, so I'll stop my rambling. WELCOME BACK!!
