Raleigh, NC

This is such a large city that It will take some time to write and photograph it, so this post will likely grow over time.

North Raleigh

My regular commute to source goods for my eBay shop takes me to North Raleigh every Wednesday. I shop at the Treasure Hunt Liquidators Bin Megastore on Capital Blvd, on their dollar day mostly.

My route takes me Southbound on US-401 and then I turn at Cavalry Drive, just past the Baptist church on the corner of North New Hope Road and Louisburg Road.

Further up the road, northbound, there is a Mosque in a residential development. There is some construction taking place in front, but I don’t know what’s going to be built.

Central Raleigh

Traveling south along Wade Avenue the traffic pattern begins to shift. My fellow drivers appear more frantic and aggressive in their movements. This is the city.

The portion of Raleigh I travelled through was just a slice of the full concrete and steel beam space. Afterwards, the skyscraper forest gives way to single story shops and sit down restaurant’s.

State Farmers Market, NC

An unexpected journey today. I volunteered to return an extra turkey that had been mistakenly packed in with my mother’s regular delivery route.

It was a 45 minute drive down to Raleigh to the farmers market (1201 Agriculture Street, 27603), the traffic was considerable.

After I dropped the parcel, I decided to browse the market and take some photos to share.

I’ve only been here maybe twice before since moving to the area. We bought fertilizer at a business nearby in the commercial area.

I was probably dragged along once as well after moving here. A familial mandatory “tour” for new residents.

The perfect activity for a socially inept introvert.  Smile, nod, mumble. Mission accomplished.

Thankfully, I’m far more adjusted these days. I quite enjoyed today’s activities.


I’ll have more details on my trip to Wilton and Creedmoor in a couple days. Thanks for reading.
