Fired Up.
READY TO EAT.
WORDS: CAITLIN RUSSELL | PHOTOS: GUILLERMO DELGADO & CAITLIN RUSSELL The bell sounds right as the crew finishes saying grace for lunch. “The surest way to get a call is to sit down to eat… or get in the shower,” jokes Lieutenant Clint Earp, an 18-year veteran of the City of Raleigh Fire Department and one of two Lieutenants on Ladder 4 at downtown Raleigh’s Station 1. The following scene of covering plates to rush to a call isn’t unusual for one of Raleigh’s busiest fire stations. Built in 1953 on Dawson Street, Station 1 has three trucks: “The Flagship” Engine 1, Engine 13 and Ladder 4, also known as “Precious.” Three platoons, which each have four firefighters per truck and one person to monitor calls, all cover a 24hour shift every other day for three shifts followed by four days off. B Platoon is starting the first shift of a new cycle at 8 a.m. After positioning
their gear and cleaning the station from top to bottom, they head out to get groceries. Today, it’s Engine 1’s turn in the kitchen. “You know, there’s a misconception out there. People get upset when they see the fire truck at the grocery store, like we’re using tax dollars to do our personal shopping,” says Chris “Bubba” Townsend, Lieutenant on Engine 1. “But they don’t realize, we pay for our own “we pay for meals. A lot of people our own don’t know that.”
meals. A lot of
Each shift, every people don’t person contributes know that.” $10 ($130 total for the day) to cover lunch and dinner for the whole platoon. But this mix of limited funds, full-day shifts and a rambunctious crew creates a unique mealtime culture. photo: Caitlin Russell

As Townsend says, “Some of the best times are in the kitchen; we hang out and joke and laugh and just mess around. It’s a lot of fun.”
gets plenty of jokes around the lunch table. (“Man guys, we can’t chip in the extra 80 cents for some Heinz?!” one of the crew laughs.)
By 11 a.m. Ivon Lendl Johnson, a senior firefighter on loan to Engine 1 for the day from Ladder 7 at Station 20, and Aaron Dickson, Engine 1’s newest and youngest firefighter, are busy chopping coleslaw and preparing shrimp for some po’ boys that could rival any of downtown’s top restaurants.
Saving one week, however, can mean a feast the next, maybe even steaks, so the main goals in the kitchen are to not go over budget and to try and mix up the meals.
“We’re lucky; we’re close enough to go the farmer’s market from this station,” say Johnson. “These shrimp were caught Thursday.”
Some station favorites? Spaghetti, hibachi, chicken pot-pie, canned chickens (“Like beer-can chicken, but we can’t have alcohol obviously, so other canned chicken,” says Johnson.), country style steak and other kitchen staples.
But such things are a luxury. Mostly, they plan meals around what’s on sale, coupons and items like massive bottles of off-brand ketchup, something that
“We do a lot of grilling,” adds Jim Pearce, senior firefighter and fire investigator on Engine 1 who has been with the department since 2002. “People are
15
trying to be healthier. Back in the day, we fried something everyday. Now it’s seldom — twice a month maybe.” And thanks to Pearce’s off-hours fishing, Engine 1 is also known for their wild game and fish, a money-saving option for the crew. But it’s not always easy. Dickson says, “We typically haven’t cooked a lot before we come here, but the guys really pass along what they learn.” At noon, the platoon gathers around the massive table, and even the call that beckons Earp and the Ladder 4 team doesn’t stop the liveliness of the bunch. When everyone is finished, Dickson initiates a water fight at the sink, laughing. He smirks, “I get blamed for
16
everything around here.” The scene perfectly captures the spirit of the group. David Carroll, on Engine 13 for the day covering from Station 5 in Cameron Village, sums up the fire department well: “Every station is different, but it’s all about the people you work with. Any station you go to, you’ve got a good crew there. You’re going to have a good time.” The guys at Station 1 may rib each other and crack a lot of jokes, but they’re hard working, selfless and dedicated to serving the community. So the next time you walk by, stop in, say hello and get a tour. They’ll be more than happy to show you around — and for $5 or so, they’ll even share their lunch.
You can find Station 1 in the heart of downtown Raleigh at 20 S Dawson St. More information about Station 1 and the other Raleigh Fire Stations can be found at www.raleighnc.gov

THE WILD SIDE
ALEXIS PRICE WORDS: STACEY WEGER
From behind the bar of downtown Raleigh music venue, Kings, Alexis Price has served many a drink over the past five years as she’s watched revelers young and old mingle with friends, dance to favorite bands and enjoy their libations. From behind the canvas when she paints, Price creates her own versions of people — with a drink in their hand, dressed up for a night on the town or eating the flesh of a fresh kill. You see, Price’s subjects are not exactly people. At least not the ones you’d see ambling down Martin Street. Rather, they are hybrid beings, odd composites of humans and animals that are at once unsettling and beautiful. “I think of the creatures I paint as human,” Price says. “The animal element has become a way to express the mood and emotion for each creature. They represent different sides of a personality, different attitudes.” Most of Price’s paintings depict a delicate female form, petite like Price herself,
20
but with animal heads or appendages. Her subject could be at a party, about to open a bottle of bubbly, head thrown back in laughter. Except the girl’s head is that of a wild dog with flecks of blood “the girl’s dotting the wall near head is that her. Her works feature an array of animals. of a wild dog Lions, bears, foxes, with flecks of crows, owls and others, blood dotting merge with human the wall” figures in a manner that is unsettling primarily because the creatures morph so naturally into one another that they almost seem familiar. “I find myself using animals in my work because they are incredibly expressive,” she says. Price has toyed with this concept for years, going back to her youth. As a child Price wanted to be a veterinarian. “I wore a plastic bunny nose for four or five years straight,” she says. “I just didn’t take it off. Go figure.”

In her art, Price says, “every animal I use is for a reason. I am fascinated with the idea of predator versus prey. Strong versus weak. My paintings have a bit of this intention — the struggle of allowing yourself to be a victim or embracing your own power.” Indeed, there is an element of dominance in her imagery. One may not feel threatened by a dainty woman clad in only her bra and underwear; in fact, one might even see her as vulnerable. But that perspective is altered when she is viewed as a hunter, covered in blood and feasting on her quarry. Price uses the animals “to question the idea of what beauty is and to see it somewhere other than where you expect it.” Although Price always wanted to be an artist, she took a circuitous path to get there. She studied and taught dance for many years, in addition to bartending.
“Dance was something I enjoyed, but it took me a while to realize that I wasn’t passionate about it enough.” Price drew constantly in her younger years. “Whether it was comic book characters or puppies, I was sketching it.” Of her decision to major in dance in college, she says “it was a default choice after being freaked out by the idea of art school. Life decisions are tricky at any age, let alone making them as a teenager.” She does not regret her path because it allowed her to figure out her artistic style on her own. “I like being a selftaught artist,” Price says. While she admits art school may have saved her some time from having to “clumsily figure it out on my own over the past decade,” Price also feels “it’s a constant learning process and the satisfaction of discovering a new technique is incredibly gratifying.”
Those interested in checking out Price’s work can find it currently on display at Garland. She will be showing her art at Morning Times in October, at Reanimator in Winston-Salem in November, and with Peregrine Projects in December. Her paintings are available for purchase at www.alexisprice.com.

AWW, NAIL YEA!!! WORDS: Sharese Hardaway
Pinterest is full of enough nail design tutorials and nail polish life hacks to fuel anyone’s inner do-it-yourself dreams. Unfortunately, these tutorials and life hacks can be a little overwhelming and time-consuming, often ending with disappointing results. So where do you turn if you lack steady hands and the time and patience to create miniature pieces of art on your fingernails? You can try your neighborhood nail salon, or you can book an appointment with Crystal Clark.
“hand painted pop art.”
Clark, owner of Nail Yeah! developed her love for beauty and creativity at a young age while assisting in her mother’s salon. Armed with a degree
in Fashion Marketing and a license in Manicuring, Clark’s began designing nails in 2010 and opened Nail Yeah! in 2013. Inspired by her environment, Clark’s background in art and fashion helps her create what she describes as “hand painted pop art.” Her intricate creations include graphic designs, ornate accents featuring bling/rhinestones and detailed accents featuring line work. Shady Ladies, Clark’s signature design, was featured in NAILgasm: The Nail Art Documentary. Clark’s nail designs have graced the pages of Vogue, Rolling Stone and Vibe magazine and have worked the runway with designers Chado Ralph Rucci,
29
Ecliptica, Farah Angsana and Coco and Breezy. Solange Knowles, Cheri Dennis and DJ Rashida have all sported Clark’s designs. Even with Clark’s impressive resume, she still receives business through word-of-mouth. Kaela Aldridge, one of Clark’s customers, noticed Clark’s work on someone at the movie theater and was automatically drawn to the one-of-
a-kind designs. “It’s actually nail art and not just a place to get your nails done,” Aldridge said. Clark states her versatility is one of the things that makes her stand out from other nail artists. “I can do either simple or elaborate.” Her designs can take up to 3-4 hours and cost between $10$25 with a manicure, depending on the accents, designs and details.
Clark is also a full-time manicurist at The Umstead Hotel & Spa in Cary, NC. Nail Yeah! is located at 16 Glenwood Avenue. Visit nailyeah. com to book an appointment with Crystal. Facebook: www.facebook. com/nailyeah919 Instagram: @nailyeah Pinterest: @nailyeah Twitter: @nailyeah

MET-TECH CORNER POCKET WORDS: JT MOORE | PHOTOs: GUILLERMO DELGADO
In downtown Raleigh, it is easy for us to get caught up in our bubble. It can feel like we have a predominantly Millennial population as we forget about the folks with two and a half kids and white picket fences that live just a few miles down the road from Fayetteville Street. It’s easy to get judgemental of the people who question you about that new restaurant that “Met-Tech is opened three years ago.
the oldest handcrafted billiards maker in NC.”
If you think about our city’s evolution, it’s difficult not to look back a decade and see the good old days. With Raleigh’s rapid growth, if you’ve been here any amount of time, It’s easy to get caught up thinking of yourself as an old-timer. But spending some time with Mike and Iris Mettrey puts things back in perspective.
“I’ve seen a lot of change — for the good and the bad,” said Mike Mettrey. “In the 80s and 90s, you could step outside on a Saturday and not see a single person.” But while he enjoys the increase in people, as a business owner Mettrey worries that downtown is becoming one-dimensional with its density of restaurants. “I’m happy to see that Briggs Hardware is coming back,” He says, reminiscing about a time few of us know. He jokes, “I remember when the best food in downtown was at Hudson Belk. They had a cafe on the top floor.” Mettrey was born and raised in Raleigh. During the 1960s, he was an engineering professor at North Carolina State University, and he’s had a business on Wilmington Street for more than 40 years. You’ve probably walked past it, as many of us have, and wondered how a billiards company could hold such prime downtown real estate.
35
Met-Tech is the oldest handcrafted billiards maker in North Carolina. Mettrey’s family originally founded the company in 1943 as a billiards table retailer. Having grown up around the business, he eventually decided he could apply his engineering education to the custom table manufacturing process, building some of Met-Tech’s original custom tables in his garage. Today, Met-Tech produces as many as 1000 handcrafted, custom tables in a single year. Mettrey recently completed tables for Circa 1888, a new pool hall, and The Lincoln apartments. While the high-end luxury home market has always been a part of their business, the commercial market has shown the most
growth. Developers incorporate custom tables that match the other furniture they use. For Met-Tech, this typically means creating new contemporary tables to complement the design aesthetics of the apartment and condo complexes that are sprouting up across the country. While we applaud the new restaurants and breweries that continue to open in downtown, we don’t give enough credit to people like Mettrey and business like Met-Techs, which have stayed with downtown through the good times and the bad. They are downtown Raleigh more than most of us.
Check out more from Met-Tech at met-techbilliards.com or swing by the shop at 105 S. Wilmington Street. See the tables in person and play a few rounds in Circa 1888 located at 412 W Davie St.

NAPOLEON wright ii WORDS: HEATHER LEAH | PHOTOS: SPCLGST
Raleigh is at a unique stage in its development as a city. We’re still small enough to have a closely-forged sense of community; however, our rapid growth creates opportunity for artists, entrepreneurs and visionaries to actively build Raleigh’s future. Napoleon Wright II seized this opportunity when he established Pan II Creative, a full service graphic design, videography, animation and music company. Now, he makes a living by making art for the city he calls home. “Raleigh’s not a big, pre-established city that doesn’t really care if you’re here or not. As I grew my professional career, my city was also growing,” Wright shares, citing Raleigh as an ideal place for people with entrepreneurial dreams. “If you have an idea to do something, you can do it. Raleigh’s just growing up, and the people can really help Raleigh grow.”
40
Breaking the corporate grind makes Wright feel alive, although he did his time at a few agencies. “I got this itch. Something kept pulling at me, telling me to create something on my own. Once I made the leap, I was able to get more involved in the community. I wasn’t in an office building from 9 to 5. I was interacting with the world on a daily basis.” Starting your own company can be daunting, and Wright admittedly subsisted on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a little while. Fortunately, Raleigh’s culture and cost of living are temperate — ideal for small business owners. “You can live, buy food and clothes, and still have time and money to just create,” he explains. “There’s a balance of creativity and quality of life. Those two things are more in harmony here — doesn’t take 90 percent of your check to put a roof over your head.”
41
While entrepreneurship wasn’t as stable as a corporate job, simply being able to survive entirely on his own work was enough. “I never knew if I’d get more work tomorrow. But the cool thing was, I didn’t realize it, but as I was doing the work and talking to people, a cycle was continuing in the background. I’d complete work, put it out there in the world, and it would still exist while I was building my business.” That growing body of work, personal connections and spreading word of mouth was quietly turning Pan II Creative into a successful company. He says, “Nothing beats a genuine connection you make with another person when you do something for them.”
Wright hasn’t stopped building dreams for his city. He has high hopes for the local bboy and breakdance scene, of which he’s an avid participant. He adds, “I’d love to create a place where people could just dance. Like a coffee shop with some dope bboy music going and a stage.” The truth is: The people of Raleigh can shape this growing city however we want. “The best part is completing something and seeing it out in the world, how it impacts others,” Wright says. “Be good to people and just keep believing in yourself.”

THE PINK BUILDING WORDS & PHOTOS: RAYMOND GOODMAN
Located just east of downtown sits a low slung, single-story, brick building on the northeast corner of East and Davie Streets. It once housed a neighborhood dentist office, and then it was home to The Carolinian, a community newspaper. Now, it’s the working studio and do-it-yourself gallery aptly named The Pink Building. The building is actually pink, painted with two tones to be precise. There’s an urban legend about why the building was painted this way, but that’s a story for another day. Recently acquired by James Goodnight, the building’s place within the community continues. While exploring a series of avenues to show her works of art, Shelley Smith found herself with a year lease and an ally offering her a great possibility to explore artistically. Smith joined The Pink Building Project to support the arts the arts in the closely knit Raleigh neighborhood just west of Hunter Elementary School. She sees
in the building the potential to become a defining piece of outreach in the community. In fact, reaching into the community is something that Smith and the other artists in The Pink Building seem determined towards. Together, they work with ancient and modern methods of cutting, sewing and quilting. Their work echoes the world around them. Planning, patience and persistence will make a quilt, and the same is what a makes a vibrant neighborhood thrive. Four artists who met while in college have been working in the studios at the Pink Building since mid July 2015. One of their common threads was being in the same graduate school program at North Carolina State University together. In the large communal working space in the north end of the building, recent graduate Kelly Kye, is pinning together the pieces of an heirloom quilt while

congregation. Smith, a Raleigh native, and her studio mates bring with them a desire to be a part of their neighborhood and look forward to learning about and becoming a piece of the rich cultural fabric that is now their backyard.
The other studio artist, Mackenzie Bullard, develops work rooted in ancient methods of natural dyeing fiber and weaving. Together they are of the ages, but all of it rings from a similar source, textiles. There is an energy coming from these artists here, as they move forward, together. Earlier this summer Smith visited a fish fry across the street at Smith Temple: FWB Church where she met Pastor Holland. He has been the Pastor at the church for three years and has a vibrant
