Stomping Grounds carries a wide variety of surfer and beach themed clothing for tweens, teens and 20-30 year olds. Their lines include Roxy, Billabong, Reef, and Paul Frank. Lots of their items are the fun little t-shirts by Paul Frank, Independent Truck Co, and other brands. The staff is very friendly and polite. The dressing rooms are neat, as is the store, and the prices are very reasonable. Besides the clothing lines they carry some shoes, purses, hats and other accessories plus swimsuits and lots of flip flops.

Time After Time is located near the Carrboro side of Franklin Street. It is a small store but it is full of great finds. Although it looks like everything is jumbled into different areas, the store is actually well organized into shoes, dresses, hats, jewelry, handbags, etc. Clothing from the 1920s to now can be found in Time After Time and it is a great place to find nicer quality costumes for Halloween or any costume party. Take time to dig through the racks and try things on - you never know what you might find!

Cat's Cradle plays host to a wide variety of musical acts all throughout the year. I have seen everyone from Edwin McCain to a completely obscure Indy Jazz fusion group there. The venue is large enough to hold a decent size group, but small enough so that all shows feel like you are watching with a hundred of your closest friends. Like most small music venues, it is smoky and loud, it is hard to find a seat sometimes, but all of that does not matter when the music is good and your friends are having a good time.

VisArt has the best selection of movie rentals period. The only thing that comes close in comparison is Netflix. VisArt has all the newest releases as well as completely obscure movies. It is a great location to find the Independent films that are not carried in larger chains, to get a flick for the children or to check out films that the staff recommends. This is one place that needs to expand its locations so that we can have the benefit of a store in Raleigh.

The great thing about Raleighwood is that it covers the dinner and a movie date in one place. Show up at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the movie to ensure getting a seat and possibly the meal before the opening credits roll. The food is good, the service is fairly fast and the theater is clean despite people eating in the dark. Raleighwood is also a good place to attend non-movie showings, such as American Idol when locals make it to the finals or to see political parties battle it out on the big screen.

Swoozie's is the place to find that gift for the person who has everything. The merchandise ranges from monogrammed bags to personalized stationary to very modern home decor. Each section of the store is well designed and very attractively decorated to attract attention but it's not overwhelming. There is an area to correspond to the most recent holiday and an area for more basic gift needs such as plain stationary, cups, gift bags, etc. The staff is exceptionally friendly and they actually enjoy helping people pick out gifts. Since there is so much fun stuff in the store, don't expect to spend 5 minutes running in and back out again! You'll want to check everything out!

Pinna, Johnston and Burwell is a nice law firm that works in various aspects of the law. In my experience the lawyers work with the client to help them understand everything in non-legalese. While writing power of attorneys and wills, I was able to deal with only one lawyer who was easy to contact and more than willing to help me get exactly what I was looking for. Their hourly prices are not astronomical like some law firms and everyone that I had contact with was friendly and approachable.

My first experience with Edward McKay was in Greensboro and I have been hooked ever since. All of their inventory comes from people who trade their books, CDs, and movies in to the store. This is a great place to get lost in the stacks for a few hours and they cater to a large variety of clientele. Everyone from students selling text books to beachgoers unloading their paperbacks from the summer can be found at Ed McKay. There is a plethora of choices to be found and it is worth digging to find them.

Triangle Family Services caters to numerous families and children throughout the Triangle. They hold classes to help men who have been convicted of domestic violence. They also have counseling for domestic violence victims, people with HIV/AIDS, children and many more groups. There is a large outreach to the Hispanic community as well. What caught my attention was that they offered financial counseling and informational classes on finances, which is often overlooked in disenfranchised communities. Anyone looking for a volunteer opportunity would do well to check into Triangle Family Services.
