When I asked my husband what was the first word that came to mind when he heard “North Hills” his reply was “expensive”. True, North Hills has its share of boutiques and upscale dining that I would classify as special occasion kind of places, at least as far as the budget goes.

This year is different though because I have found a way to join in the fun without leaving Raleigh, …

Sunday nights starting at 10pm is service industry nights at Fox and Hound. I’m told they give away “beer related” prizes at midnight and all appetizers are half price. Drink specials are $3 magic hat pints and $5 monster bombs. Bartenders and servers are a lot of fun and dress up once a month.
Anyone been to Fox and Hound for this? Would love to hear your thoughts and see some pictures.

**This is a guest post by Lee Odom. Lee recently submitted this recap of The Tams concert from late April. I think it’s a nice look at a typical Thursday night at the 2009 Midtown Music Series (Lee refers to this as the “North Hills Concert Series.” No matter what you want to call it, it’s always a good time.
