Some weekend suggestions, if you’re not heading to the movie theater to see the latest Narnia movie, “Prince Caspian”:
* To kick off the summer (a little early), the largest art festival of the year in Raleigh is taking place this weekend. Artsplosure takes over the streets around City Market Saturday and Sunday. And it’s big – last year 80,000 people visited it over the two days. Lots of art and food for sale, events for the kids outside the Marbles Museum, and almost non-stop live bands both days – more info is here http://www.artsplosure.org/.
* To add to parking woes downtown, house peepers on Saturday from 11 to 5 can pay $10 and join the annual Downtown Raleigh Home Tour -- http://www.raleighdowntownliving.com/. There are 20 homes and condos open for viewing. If you ever wondered what it would be like to live downtown, take a look at the modern, sterile, high-priced condos before the condo real-estate market crashes.
* If you find yourself in downtown Durham this weekend, could you tell me how to exit from the downtown loop? It’s crazy confusing! Once you’re there, view all the renovations taking place downtown, and this Saturday (1-10pm) and Sunday (1-5) you can visit the Bimbé Cultural Arts Festival celebrating African American music and traditions at the Durham Athletic Park -- http://www.durhamnc.gov/departments/parks/bimbe_Index.cfm
