150 Year Ole’ Cannons
This past week, I had the opportunity to play with some pretty cool weaponry! From an 150 year old signal cannon from West Pointe to an M16 machine gun!
The signal cannon was tiny but definitely packed a big punch! My friend’s dad was talking about this cannon that he had inherited and we suggested that [...]

Turkey Fryer and Christmas Tree Fires – Oh My!
This Raleigh Native ventured out to the Cary Fire Department to witness how fast a Christmas Tree can go up in smoke and how you could seriously injure yourself frying a turkey on Thanksgiving!
In just under 2 minutes the Christmas Tree was completely engulfed with flames bursting in height over 15 feet. The turkey was [...]
There’s A New Dog in Town
As some of you may know, my favorite puppy in the whole world passed away about two months ago. Willow Bee was a great dog and had so much fun running all over Raleigh and meeting all kinds of new people and fuzzy friends at the Flea Market, the Dog Park, Pet Smart, the Farmers [...]
Fried Green Tomato Napoleon
I love homegrown tomatoes! This is the perfect time of year to start plucking those last few green tomatoes off you plants and bring them in to fry them up! They are probably not going to ripen out there in the cold.
This past weekend, we hit up Bistro 1866 in downtown Asheville because The Lobster [...]
“More Than A Game” Premieres Friday, October 23rd
Over the past year, I have been bouncing across the country with my good friend, Matt Perniciaro, checking out all of the parties and events for his latest movie More Than a Game. The movie is a documentary about Lebron James that depicts his childhood love of basketball and documents the game that put him [...]
State Fair
Even on a Wednesday night, the night before can food night, the State Fair was pretty packed. Lines for the rides weren’t that long but lines for the Wisconsin Cheese were at least 40 deep. Seemed like everyone had the same idea to head out to the fair and eat dinner.
Typically, I’m not one for [...]
DPAC Brings Imagination to the Stage
I’ve been making the trek to Durham for the past few months but never get to stop in and really enjoy the culture that Durham has to offer. Of course I stop by Guglehupf, Blue Coffee, and Foster’s Market every chance I get but to actually stop, enjoy and see what our neighboring city has [...]
Things to do, see, and eat in Raleigh
Hey Raleigh Native,
If you’re looking for a blog idea one day, you should make a list of the must see places in Raleighfor people visiting from out of town. When I have family or friends coming in town that have never been here before, it’s always hard to figure out what to do with them [...]
BMX Bike Track in Raleigh?
According to the ECAC Chair, Mark Turner:
“… Lions Park hosts one of only five BMX tracks in the state[.] It’s the home track of the Capital City BMX (CCBMX) club.
BMX racing is exciting to watch: these riders take their bikes over a bone-rattling dirt track, catching air at times! It’s an X-Games worthy event.
Capital City [...]
