Happy Saturday, Raleigh. It’s been a busy week, but I’m looking forward to spending the weekend trying autumn inspired treats around the 919 and hitting up Jaguar Bolera at Raleigh Iron Works.

📜 Unwritten 919 rules

Whether you’re an Oak City native or a relative newcomer, there are just some things every Raleighite understands to be true.

We asked our readers to share Raleigh’s unwritten rules, from common city knowledge to relatable trends and local lingo. You won’t find these rules in a handbook, but they are undoubtedly absorbed by the community — and if you’re not from the 919, these might be a little difficult to explain.

The unspoken rule everyone knows

“Don’t park in the lower levels of the parking deck at Crabtree when it rains.” — Tracy V.

“Return your cart when grocery shopping.” — Cindy B.

“Snow = everyone preparing for the apocalypse” — @waterw0man

“The State Farmers Market is the superior farmers market (and it’s open seven days a week!)” — @marinarabz

“If you live ITB, going beyond 440 is a big deal. Going past 540 — AKA the ‘wall’ — requires an overnight bag.” — @buck.jeff
