Realized and developed by Willie York and Raymond Bryan, Cameron Village grew into a shopping mecca and residential neighborhood, offering the first air conditioned homes for sale in the state.

Abstract:

From 1974 to 1984, the \"Underground,\" a space near the back of Cameron Village in Raleigh, was the sight for retailers, restaurants, and music clubs. Many bands--local and famous--performed in the \"Underground,\" including R.E.M., The Connells, the Fabulous Knobs, and Iggy Pop. After receiving some press in 2013, an outdoor concert and charity fundraiser, \"The Underground Rises,\" took place, and this year, tickets were sold to a pricey event in the Underground itself--a celebration of the space before it disappears forever.
