My Seven Wonders list reflects places, buildings or objects that have a unique quality and also well represent a larger piece of Raleigh good stuff. The NC State campus is adorned with this fascinating spot, which encompasses architecture, physics, local building materials and a lot of fun. Go sit in one of these matching disks with a partner in the other and you will be able to exchange whispers at a hundred feet. Each disk has a sweet spot which perfectly captures the converged sounds from its opposite. They sit in a grassy lawn just east of the Brickyard, itself an NCSU icon (just behind the library off Hillsborough Street). You can impress anyone from a date to a four year old child with this trick of reflection and resonance. You can also check out the September 11th Oak planted right beside it.
In case you’re counting, My Wonder Number One was the Education Wall and I have proclaimed the Flag Guy as my Number Two. Dorton Arena and the Bridge Over The Beltline are definitely on my list for future posts, but I’m somewhat open on the last couple of spots. Give me a holler if you have an idea.
