THE ART OF WANDERING SOLO|RALEIGH
Raleigh required a different kind of wandering; it was kind of suspicious. It made me work for it.

I began at Videri, inside an old brick building where enormous machines turn cacao beans into chocolate while people drink cappuccinos a few feet away, as though this were perfectly normal. I ordered mine with a raspberry-and-cream Danish while watching the machinery. There is something reassuring about seeing how things are made. Perhaps because most things in life arrive without instructions.

Then I drove to Rebus Works, which seems to have been assembled from several unrelated ideas that somehow became friends: grocery store, café, art space, neighborhood eccentric. I bought sardines and a local bag of salt and vinegar chips. I needed neither (or maybe I did!). This is one of the privileges of wandering alone: there is nobody beside you asking why you are buying sardines.

From there I drove without much purpose - when I retired I abandoned the “urgency” of life. Brick walls. Old storefronts. Murals. Alleys. Buildings polished into the present standing beside others that seem perfectly content to remain somewhere around 1957. Raleigh kept changing costumes every few blocks.

Eventually I landed at Heirloom (a totally unexpected OMG culinary gem) and ordered a Laos chicken salad that had no business being as good as it was. By then the day had acquired its own logic: chocolate factory, sardines, murals, Laos.

I came to Raleigh looking for its essence. Honestly, I’m not sure I found it.

But somewhere between a cacao roaster, 3 tins of sardines, old brick walls, a warehouse district that emanates solidarity, a busy downtown under the blue and sunny Carolina skies, and that extraordinary South Asian chicken salad, Raleigh stopped being a place on the map and became one of those cities to remember.
