The Stranger's Almanac is a blog covering music, politics, and education in and around Raleigh, North Carolina (and sometimes beyond).

The main author, an Arkansas expat, having moved a generous number of times throughout his life, constantly feels like a stranger, and more often than not compares how *they* do things in his current town based on how things were done in his previous towns; be it music, politics, or education. So you’ll see posts mentioning Arkansas, Richmond, Virginia, Frederick, Maryland, and elsewhere. Just roll with it, k?

Why the pseudonym "The Rank Stranger?" Meh. Why not?
