With the weather behaving the way it has been, and tomorrow’s February First Friday only slightly shying away from these feelings of spring (50s), I’m in the mood to get excited. Because despite The Farmer’s and Sir Walter Wally’s prediction of a more wintry-weather-month ahead, soon we’ll be the ones to walk in the sun (and girls they wanna have fu-un!).
BEST installs their first project for Feb. First Friday at The Hue @ Hargett (Suite 50). This group bases their projects on the idea that every space is an opportunity for creativity and expression, especially those run-down, ignored spots, that helps us get to know each other better, bringing us closer together as a community. Neat.
The Triangle has a wiki page. It’s not open to the public yet, but soon you’ll be able to be a part of recording our culture (interesting places and events). The Raleigh Public Record reports that this is “the latest installment of a global trend of local information site that first started in Davis, California” and it became “the largest, most used media source in the city, with one in seven Davis residents contributing to the site.”
The issue of transit in the Triangle is kind of a big deal right now. We just approved a $40 million transportation bond in October that includes a lot of cool stuff, including a new train station. Meanwhile, organizations like GoTriangle.com aim to help you get around by bus, rideshare (carpooling), bike, walking and teleworking (remote).
