The zodiac signs as Raleigh neighborhoods

One of the most lovable things about Raleigh is the distinct character found in each neighborhood, district, and corner of town. They all have their own personalities and purposes — some would say it was written in the stars. Let’s take a look at how our neighborhoods align with the zodiac signs.
Aquarius: East Raleigh | Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The unique businesses of East Raleigh embody the eclectic nature of an Aquarius. We recommend catching a movie at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and hitting up Little Blue Bakehouse for a sweet denouement.
Pisces: Mordecai | Feb. 19-March 20
Thisquaint neighborhood provides the perfect escapist moment for a Pisces to relax. Not one to boast, but Mordecai House, the oldest home in Raleigh, resides in this historic district. With its nurturing characteristics, it only makes sense that places like Raleigh City Farm and Yellow Dog Bread Co. call this neighborhood home.
Happy Saturday, Raleigh. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make the Christmas Parade this year, but please take plenty of pictures and feel free to send over snapshot memories you take throughout the weekend full of festivities.
