Apex will move downtown fire crews. Why residents are fighting to preserve Station 1

More than 150 people attended the Tuesday Town Council meeting, and a petition seeking to keep Station 1 operating as an active firehouse has collected more than 1,300 signatures.

The story looks at why the station matters to former firefighters and longtime residents, what supporters believe would be lost if the engine and crew leave downtown, and why the Town Council is in favor of this move.

Amy Kamm, lead singer of Raleigh alt-country/Americana band New Reveille, dies at 51

Amy Baird Kamm was a Duke nurse before becoming the lead singer of Raleigh band New Reveille. After she died in a house fire in Rolesville, NC, I spoke with her former bandmates about her life, music, and the years they spent performing together.

Sharing here because New Reveille was part of Raleigh's Americana/alt-country scene. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article316833300.html
