Lumberton, NC
Vintage Americana right here. The Dixie Drive-In opened in the 1960s and is still serving customers in Lumberton, a small(ish) city in North Carolina.
Here's a snippet from an excellent article about the Dixie that Andrew Kenney wrote for the Our State web site:
"Practically speaking, the Dixie has to be a drive-in. With just six booths, 15 stools, and a bathroom around back, the building is too small for many diners to eat inside.
This is the way Howard and Edith Stevens, the Dixie’s founders, imagined the place. Howard had worked nights on the short-order line at a drive-in after spending the day laboring on the family farm outside Whiteville. When he and Edith decided to sell the farm and open the Dixie in 1963, their sons — George, Steve, and Tony — were nearly grown.
Older patrons can tell you how they remember the husband-and-wife team: Edith cooking fries while Howard worked the grill in a long-sleeve shirt and dress shoes. They claim they never saw a stain of mustard or ketchup on Howard.
They also remember how the sons came in after school and worked shifts. Now those shifts have turned into careers: George has never worked anywhere else; Steve came back after serving in the Air Force; and Tony, a Baptist preacher on the side, found his way home after attending Bible college.
“You do what your daddy says,” Steve says with a laugh. “I pretty much knew I was going to come back.”
Generations of customers — the children and grandchildren of the mechanics and lawyers and farmhands in Robeson County — come back, too. They come back for the same burger, fixed the same way. It only costs a little more than it used to."

***************************************************************************
The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. They are extremely agile.

Hayseed Dixie are a satirical hillbilly rockband from Tennessee. They initially started out doing hillbilly covers of ACDC (hence the name). Later they began to cover all kinds of stuff and do their own numbers too. Hilarious to watch but all great musicians.
From 3/29/1986: one of the B&O's "Dixie" trains, likely 99, rolls south by Sharp Road at Swanders north of Sidney. Number one in seniority engineer Lucius "Sackhead" Eyler is hamming it up for the camera. He got his nickname by running with the windows open in the steam days with a bag over his head. He may be best known for running Ronald Reagan's campaign train up the Toledo Sub in 1984. (Photo by Brad McClelland, re-posted with permission.)

two of the pullets, proudly perching on a log in the coop -- shot on a hot afternoon (over 80°F) in the shade, no shielding, stored in the film box to develop
very washed out, not sure if that's due to the heat or the very bright ambient/background light? inside the coop is shaded but very harsh sun just outside...

The Dixie Cup factory in Easton, Pennsylvania is 100 years old this year. Happy birthday! The factory was abandoned decades ago for a more modern facility (which itself is being shut down later this year). The giant Dixie Cup is, as you might guess, the water tower for the plant. Given the rust stains I assume the giant cup is not made of coated paper.
