Top 10 Ways to Beat the Raleigh Heat

Written by J. Chavis and filed under Top 10, Other 

PenguinTemperatures in Raleigh continue to rise, but that doesn’t mean that you have to suffer. Below we offer a few serious, and a few tongue-in-cheek suggestions to help you battle the triple digit heat:

  1. Fishbowl margaritas from El Rodeo
  2. Slip-n-slide across the Meredith campus lawn
  3. Stand shoulder to shoulder with someone in any Raleigh public pool
  4. Pop open a fire hydrant on (insert your street name here)
  5. Befriend your annoying co-worker from Cary – join them in moving back to wherever it is they came from ;)
  6. Lock yourself in the meat freezer at the Angus Barn
  7. Lay beneath the peeing statue in the Rose Garden
  8. Play golf at RGA with only one ball – aim only for the water hazards
  9. Hijack one of Raleigh’s many annoying Ice Cream trucks, eat your fill, and then run it into Lake Johnson
  10. Help us finish off the list with some of your own ideas…

    Make a date night at the Raleigh IcePlex…

    Hang out in Ben & Jerry’s – sampling all of their flavors!

    Park yourself in a couch at Cream eating a large soft serve ice cream with cheesecake chunks.

    Get an Iced Coffee from Morning Times and chill out upstairs with your laptop.

    Browse flowers in the walk-in cooler at Harris Teeter.

    Move water-cheating neighbor’s sprinkler to edge of his yard. Aim it at your yard. Get much wet in the process. Wait one hour. Call water cops to report neighbor.
