Two week ago I got to spend a large amount of time in Raleigh NC... again. It's a nice, friendly, and a very clean city that I came to like quite very much.

Anyway, the first part are pictures I took while walking around downtown, as sun was about ready to settle in. Sorry if the quality on some is somewhat questionable. I was feeling kind of cranky and tired after just finishing an 8 hour drive from Wilkes-Barre, PA

Good to see the RBC tower nearly done. And watch where you aim that gun young feller, it could go off. ;)
