The joys of parking at Southpoint Mall
In a few weeks, local mall parking lots will be ridiculously packed with holiday shoppers (although maybe not w/ the way the economy is going).

Make sure you don’t lose your family’s home movies fade

Barack Obama bat signal appears in downtown Raleigh
I was walking to Raleigh Times Friday night when I spotted Barack Obama’s face shining on the side of a building. I told the person who I thought would appreciate it most (not b/c of his political beliefs, but b/c of his mad night time photography skills). Check out Goodnight, Raleigh’s photo.

Should you be able to campaign at the mall?
Malls aren’t just for shopping anymore. These days you can even get your brows waxed, eat a semi-gourmet meal and even vote. Cary Towne Center and Triangle Town Center are both early voting sites, but there’s one thing you can’t do at those sites: Campaign for your candidate.
