  2. DoRaleigh News & Notes: NCMA’s New Art Installation, Duke’s Global Ranking, Stanley Cup Impact & More

    Stay connected with the latest Raleigh news, business updates, local attractions, community milestones, and Triangle happenings in this week’s DoRaleigh News & Notes.

    From a stunning new public art installation at the North Carolina Museum of Art to record-breaking Stanley Cup parade attendance, here’s what everyone in Raleigh has been talking about.

    A New Outdoor Art Experience Opens at NCMA

    The North Carolina Museum of Art has unveiled “Please Be Seated,” an interactive outdoor sculpture by internationally acclaimed Paul Cocksedge Studio. The flowing wooden bench installation is now part of the Museum Park and joins only two other permanent versions located in Hong Kong and Beijing.

    If you’re looking for a unique photo opportunity or a relaxing place to enjoy nature, add this new attraction to your Raleigh bucket list.

    Duke and UNC Ranked Among the World’s Best Universities

    The Triangle continues to shine on the global stage.

    According to the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings:

    • Duke University ranked No. 20 among the world’s best universities.
    • UNC-Chapel Hill earned the No. 55 spot globally.

    These rankings reinforce the Triangle’s reputation as one of the nation’s leading centers for higher education and innovation.

    Raleigh’s Forgotten Skateboarding Legacy

    Did you know Raleigh once hosted one of America’s largest skateparks?

    Utopia Park opened in 1999 with skateboarding legend Tony Hawk and several professional skateboarders attending the grand opening. While the park is gone today, it remains an important chapter in Raleigh’s sports and youth culture history. (Via INDY Week)

    Goats Continue Their Landscaping Mission

    Goats are becoming one of the Triangle’s most unexpected environmental helpers.

    A herd from Goats on the Go recently helped clear invasive vegetation at Carolina Tiger Rescue. Despite sharing space with lions and tigers, the goats safely completed their work while helping improve the habitat.

    Organizations across Raleigh are increasingly turning to “goatscaping” as an eco-friendly alternative for removing overgrown vegetation and invasive plants like English ivy.

    The Left Hook Announces Grand Opening Celebration

    Downtown Raleigh favorite The Left Hook is celebrating the grand opening of its new Hargett Street café with a community festival on Saturday, August 1.

    The celebration will feature:

    • Vendor market
    • Live wrestling
    • Circus performances
    • Live screen printing
    • Family-friendly entertainment
    • Local vendors

    It’s shaping up to be one of downtown Raleigh’s most unique summer celebrations.

    Raleigh Remembers Paul Dombalis

    The Raleigh restaurant community is mourning the loss of Paul Dombalis, third-generation owner of The Mecca Restaurant, who passed away this week at age 68.

    Dombalis operated Raleigh’s oldest restaurant from 1990 until 2018 and helped preserve one of downtown’s most beloved dining traditions.

    New Retail Development Coming to Hillsborough Street

    A long-vacant property beside Target on Hillsborough Street is finally moving forward.

    The project will include:

    • Open-air retail space
    • New restaurants
    • Rally House
    • An additional national restaurant concept expected to be announced later

    Construction is expected to wrap up this winter, bringing additional shopping and dining options near NC State.

    Stanley Cup Championship Continues to Boost Raleigh

    The Carolina Hurricanes’ championship run continues to make headlines.

    New figures show:

    • 192,922 fans attended the downtown Raleigh Stanley Cup Parade.
    • Outside visitors generated approximately $13.4 million for the Wake County economy.
    • Roughly 12% of the Raleigh metro population attended the celebration.

    The parade has become one of the largest public gatherings in Raleigh history. (The News & Observer)

    Andia’s Named One of America’s Best Ice Cream Shops

    Cary favorite Andia’s Homemade Ice Cream earned the No. 6 spot on USA Today’s list of the nation’s best independent ice cream shops.

    Seasonal flavors currently include:

    • Couch Potato
    • Lavender Lemonade

    Perfect timing for a summer treat.

    Road Work Coming to Glenwood Avenue

    Drivers should prepare for traffic changes.

    NCDOT begins resurfacing Glenwood Avenue this Sunday between Wade Avenue and Woman’s Club Drive. Temporary lane closures and detours will be in place throughout the project.

    Raleigh Water Restrictions Continue

    Raleigh’s drought remains a serious concern.

    City officials issued 92 water restriction warnings in just one week, highlighting the importance of conserving water as dry conditions continue across central North Carolina.

    Residents are encouraged to follow all current watering restrictions.

    Lenovo Center’s Future

    While appearing on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon suggested Lenovo Center could have roughly another decade before discussions of a replacement arena begin.

    Meanwhile, Centennial Authority leadership says extending the life of the current arena remains a top priority.

    Snake Season is Here

    Wildlife experts are reminding Triangle residents to stay alert this summer.

    Timber rattlesnakes, also known as canebrake rattlesnakes, are North Carolina’s most common venomous snake and may occasionally be encountered on hiking trails and wooded areas around the Triangle.

    Knowing how to identify them—and giving them plenty of space—is the safest approach. (The News & Observer)

    Have you heard of Goatscaping?

  49. I think it's time for a #reintroduction post. I've been on Mastodon since 2024 and hanging out at The Mended Drum for over a year, and I'm doing a bit of remodeling on my feed. I'd love to make some new friends, and I would also appreciate any hashtag recommendations to follow!

    I'm a cis woman of the Oregon Trail Generation living in #Raleigh, #NC, US. Currently a freelance proofreader specializing in deposition transcripts. I'm (lazy) #plantbased, unattached, #nonreligious, sober-ish, and #childfree.

    Likes: #reading, #concerts, #animals (especially #cats), #photography, glamping, dragons, spreadsheets, pockets, bubbles, word games/puzzles, #solarpunk, #sustainability, a little light yoga, and the Oxford comma.

    Dislikes: patriarchy, bigotry, billionaires, cars, fossil fuels, ads, #misophonia, #perimenopause, summer, basketball (see: misophonia), cooking, running, clothes shopping, phone calls, and glitter.

    I'll expound on some of my favorite authors, artists, genres, and titles in a thread.
