... with all of the folderol of pretentious eating joints? I have. You know what I mean, the joints with huge signs, creative lighting, fancy landscaping, and located on prime property.
Gimme a place with no tablecloths, no valet parking, no French accents, and no photos of movie stars on the walls.
What I want is a surprising experience. So, when we rode past this eatery last Saturday I said to my wife, "This joint is worth a shot. Are you in?"
"Of course."
We went in, met Brittany [our server], ordered a large pizza, and ate the WHOOOOLE thing. It was really good. So good, we entered NO NAME PIZZA into our laptop as a reminder on our next trip to the New Bern region.

“Singing is such an excellent thing, that I wish all people would sing” ~ Richard Byrd
How appropriate that Mr Byrd would write such a quote.
On the trip down to Knoxville, one of the many things Karen and I squealed with delight over was the idea of visiting the Colonel Sanders Museum. Then we noticed there was a Museum of Appalachia. There were choices to be made, for we knew we could hit at least one of these tourist wonderlands on our way back up North. So, research was done and the Colonel Sanders Museum won out, due to it's low low price (free) and it's guaranteed finger lickin' goodness. With the promise of eleven herbs and spices you can't go wrong!

Sign for a closed phone company on Sheffield, occupying what was once a drive-through bank branch. There's no one there to turn you on, I'm sad to say.
Flickr seems to have some trouble figuring out where the state line is. This was definitely shot in Hammond, Indiana, albeit quite close to the border. Take the city information with a grain of salt for all the photos from this trip; when in doubt, just look at the map, which is correct.

They tore down the Liberty Tobacco Warehouse last year, the last one in Durham. All that's left of it is this wall on the northeast corner, that supposedly will be integrated into the new complex being built in its place. Bull Durham is disappearing fast...

Silas Wright, Jr. (May 24, 1795 – August 27, 1847) was an American Democratic politician. Wright was born in Amherst, Massachusetts and moved with his father to Weybridge, Vermont in 1796. He graduated from Middlebury College in 1815 and moved to Sandy Hill, New York, the next year, where he studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1819. Wright commenced practice in Canton, New York. He served as surrogate of St. Lawrence County 1821-1824 and then as a member of the New York State senate from 1824 to 1827. Wright was appointed brigadier general of the state militia in 1827.
In 1826, he was elected to the Twentieth Congress and served from March 4, 1827, to February 16, 1829, when he resigned. He successfully contested the election of George Fisher to the Twenty-first Congress, but declined to qualify. Wright served as Comptroller of the State of New York from 1829 to 1833, in which post he became a prominent follower of Martin Van Buren and a member of the Albany Regency that ran the state for the Democratic Party in this period. Wright was elected to the United States Senate in 1833 as a Democrat to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of William L. Marcy. He was reelected in 1837 and served from January 4, 1833, to November 26, 1844. In the Senate, he served as Chairman of the Finance Committee from 1836 to 1841.
Wright was offered the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 1844, as a sop to followers of Van Buren, who had been disappointed in his hopes for renomination, but declined instead running for the position of Governor of New York. He served as Governor from 1845 to 1846, and was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection, being defeated by the Whig candidate John Young.
Wright died soon after, aged 52, in Canton, on August 27, 1847 and is interred in Old Canton Cemetery.

i was contacted by La Tempestad Arts Magazine www.latempestad.com.mx/ in Mexico City and asked if they could use this photo of mine for editorial purposes. This is a photo I took in Aracataca, Colombia, the birth place and hometown of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who called the town Macondo in his novel A Hundred Years of Solitude. As a former resident of Mexico City it is an honor to have my photo in their magazine.
