I'm going to be flying in to Raleigh on Thursday (arriving around 10:30 a.m.) for a conference that doesn't start until Friday morning. Any suggestions from citizens of Raleigh on what to do to pass the time?
Got a tip for us?

Heh born here and lived here my entire life, and yet that question still gives me pause whenever someone asks it. There is always the museums, which are pretty decent. Not TOO much to do here though. Its not that great a place to visit but a wonderful place to live, if you know what I mean.
EDIT: I was going to say "sweat your balls off" but then I figure you're probably use to the weather from Alabama.

I understand. We all do what we have to to increase our post counts.
Sounds a lot like Huntsville, where I live.
Yep, a high of 98 degrees today.DavidLeblond said:
I'll be staying near the Crabtree Valley Mall (I think) but I don't want to just hang out at the mall. Of course, I have a deadline coming up so I should probably just camp out in my hotel room and write.
they've got trees, and lots of it. you can go for some bbq and other southern food. the best hush puppies i've ever had were from north carolina.
For touristy bars/eats, hit Glenwood Ave, and/or Morgan St. Though I think there are better restaurants in Durham.
Fayetteville St. is totally overhyped. There isn't **** to do there.
There's typically some nice music playing at The Progress Energy Center.

actually, I was trying to bump your thread for you,
thanks for the positive comment though.
Stay indoors! Heat is going to be BAD this week. Exploris is an interactive museum with a iMax theater that isn't bad.
the BIG picture exhibition is going on at the NC Museum of Art

Cool. I had seen both of those on the web and wondered if either of those might be good choices. I wish that the NC Zoo in Asheboro wasn't quite so far away -- I think that by the time I drove there (after arriving Thursday morning), I'd only have a couple of hours to spend before the zoo closes at 5 p.m.
