Over on Goodnight Raleigh:

One hundred years ago, on September 30, 1914, a familiar downtown landmark — Raleigh’s City Market — opened its doors to the public. Join us this week in celebrating the centenary of this historic and venerable market house.

I didn’t really discover City Market until I was in high school, but I was instantly mesmerized; such a unique place in the middle of a lot of normal.
