Bring out the cake because it’s our birthday. This week marks six years of RALtoday, and we’re celebrating by sharing some of our favorite moments since our founding in 2019. Here’s a look back on some special articles chosen by editors past and present.
Thanks to RALtoday, we’ve spent some serious time exploring the 919, including the city core with the helpful downtown ambassadors, city programs + resources with Raleigh Neighborhood College, and hitting the road to Fearrington Village.
Hey foodies — did you know the muscadine is NC’s only indigenous grape? We learned all about scuppernongs, grape hull pies, and NC’s unique agricultural landscape back in September 2020. Still hungry? Learn about Tamasha Modern Indian’s tasty roots with Michelin-recognized chef Bhavin Chhatwani, or harvest something new at Raleigh City Farm, still cultivating community and connection.
We’ve also sat down with some seriously cool people shaping Raleigh, including Sarah Bock from “Severance,” Edge of Urge owner Jessie Williams, and the vintage experts behind secondhand store Pallbearer.
And of course, a lot has changed about Raleigh since we started in 2019. For starters, NC State men’s basketball saw its most successful NCAA tournament run since the ‘80s next to the women’s team, Red Hat Amphitheater secured a vote to stay downtown and move to a permanent venue next door, and while Dreamville celebrated its last year in Raleigh, a new fest is coming in its place.
Psst... Thanks for welcoming us into your inbox every day — we couldn’t do it without you.
