Many of Stephenson’s friends attended the event, including long-time pal Porta Vallas.Ī large crowd showed up for the dedication and the evening’s theatrical performance. Now CBC has created a permanent tribute to her memory in the City of Raleigh with the dedication of the Louise “Scottie” Stephenson Amphitheatre at the Raleigh Little Theatre. In the two years since the death of long-time employee Scottie Stephenson, her reserved parking space at Capitol Broadcasting Company has remained marked and empty as a reminder of her legacy. If you want info about neighborhoods, let us know.Amphitheatre Dedicated to CBC’s Scottie StephensonĬapitol Broadcasting Company, along with the City of Raleigh, dedicated the Raleigh Little Theatre’s Amphitheatre to Scottie Stephenson. I am with you about Airbnb's, especially with a family. People wait in huge lines in NYC to see just parts of this show. While you are here, you MUST check out You Are Here at the NC Art Museum. Great coffee, food and the NCSU campus are steps away.some in the building!
To get the true NCSU experience, stay at the Aloft on Hillsborough Street (NCSU's Franklin Street) across from the Bell Tower. They are all basically bunched together, My fav is the Marriott, although the RI may win on price and best view from the rooftop bar. There are three main hotels downtown, although not as "hip" as Durham's - Marriott, Sheraton and Residence Inn. Raleigh has good places to eat too, but is the capital so has great museums you can walk to (science and history) a little more shopping than Durham. For hotels, Durham Hotel, 21C and Unscripted are hip, happening and in the middle of everything. Durham is a little edgier, but amazing food and art. Staying at the Carolina Inn would give you the true Carolina Experience.ĭurham and Raleigh both have great downtowns with restaurant and things to do. There is very little dividing Franklin Street and UNC campus.

Chapel Hill's Franklin Street is the smallest, but would be fun for a HS senior and plenty of great places to eat, plus "college" shopping, the Old Well, the planetarium, etc. You wont need much time here but if you are in the area it is well worth stopping by for a few minutes.Īnswer: Assuming you are looking in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, know that all have walkable downtowns.
It is sad to say but while I was here I seen several drugs deals going on. There is a parking lot but I would suggest parking as close to the entrance as possible. Though I would HIGHLY suggest visiting only during daylight hours. The gardens are open 24 hours a day and located only a few minutes from downtown Raleigh. In additional to the statue there is a sculpture that lists more than 2500 donors to the gardens. And when I wrote about this place several years ago on another website, it said plans were underway to expand the gardens to 7 1/2 acres but I don't see where anything has been done. According to the website the state is surrounded by more than 5000 bushes and plants though I would think 500 would be pushing it. The bronzed statue is the only garden devoted to Dr. King gardens are more like a statue to honor the civil rights leader than a garden.
