Post-Weekend Reset? Yes, please. - Apr. 7th

That’s just the way it goes isn’t it Raleigh? The last edition I shared, we had so much to do, I couldn’t get it all posted. This time, well let’s just say it seems we all needed a Monday reset.

Here’s a few things to start your day off with but we’re taking it a bit easy for now.

• Since 1933, The NC Governors Inaugural Ball has honored the new Governor and Council of State. Put on by the Junior League of Raleigh, this event drew crowds and fundraising for the community — See how it went down in the video here.

• The Crunkleton is FINALLY opening! If you’re downtown you have probably walked by the work in progress storefront inside of Smoky Hollow but come Tuesday, you will be able to walk in and order yourself oysters, wings, steaks, & more.

• Starting April 7th the DMV is expanding it’s office hours at most of its offices. They will now be open from 7-5pm, so you can now wait in line longer! (whoops, did I say that out loud?) — full list of new hours here.
