Raleigh, incorporated in 1792, was named after Sir Walter Raleigh, the British Renaissance courtier, explorer, poet . . . and well known cigar connosieur. Raleigh sits in the widely revered Research Triangle, filled with high tech, research, and pharmaceutical companies, but it still maintains its genteel Southern charm. The city is teeming with history, and it was a well-known getaway for legendary lawman Bernard P. Fife. When Barney came to Raleigh it was "go, go, go" from the minute he got there. Sometimes he had so much fun at the Arcade playing Skeeball that his head would not hit the pillow until 11:15 p.m. The lure of the big city finally brought Barney to Raleigh full time when he took a job with the Police Department handling the fingerprint files - N through R . . . . The 1999 movie Corndog Man was a psychological thriller, starring Noble Willingham whose other credits include City Slickers and Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
