Resources #1
RESOURCES TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY IN AND AROUND NORTH CAROLINA:
1. Several times a year, the Raleigh Parks & Recreation Department publishes an impressive course guide called the Leisure Ledger. The catalogue is over 100 pages and includes an endless list of course offerings — from pottery classes and Bridge meet-ups to tennis instruction and sailing lessons — appealing to all age groups and abilities. 2. Yelp (app) is used everywhere, but I couldn't have survived without it when I first moved here. It's great for finding that tasty Thai restaurant, dependable dry cleaner or recommended hair salon. 3. Bands-In-Town (app) lets you know what bands are currently in town and when tickets go on sale for acts coming down the pike. It provides ticketing information, directions to the venue and best of all, provides a play button to listen to their music. What a great way to learn about new bands and expand your play lists. 4. Our State is THE official magazine of North Carolina.

Market Imports
If you've been to the State Farmers' Market in Raleigh, you know where this place is. It's right across the lot. Be sure to build in some time; this could take a while. Here's a link to their website: http://www.market-imports.com/ |
