“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 [...]
Raleigh Sushi
Vacation had taken me away from the blog for two weeks but while I was out I found myself eating sushi everywhere I went.
Starting out here in Raleigh, I hit up Sushi Blues on Glenwood South with a friend. I had not been there since I lived at the Pine State Creamery building about 6 [...]
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 [...]

On a trip to Panera this morning, my fears of traffic building up in that turning lane disappeared as I cautiously approached the horribly congested intersection and noticed two [...]

The designation does not [...]
Blount Street Commons Back on Track… it seems
After several months of absolutely no activity on the Blount Street Project, this morning Stock Building Supply’s trucks had arrived and they were finally wrapping the abandoned shell of the second phase of the project. From the looks of it, only one resident has moved in to phase 1.
The shell was literally weeks away from [...]
Paying for Parking Not Sitting Well with Downtowners
“Dear DSutton,
I was wondering how you felt about the new parking rate increase in Downtown Raleigh.
- Michelle”
Dear Michelle,
Thank you for your question that you sent me regarding the parking in Downtown Raleigh. I think that the City of Raleigh is making a huge mistake by implementing pay-to-park stations all over downtown Raleigh. Although $1/hour is [...]
Time Warner Introduces “Start Over” for Selected Channels
Time Warner Cable introduces their new service, Start Over, today to all of their digital cable customers. I had received notification that the cable service was going to offer this service but I was eager to see how it would work.
It only replays the program that the channel is currently playing up until the end time [...]
