Cool. Rocky Mount, NC is only about 30 minutes from here! In fact, the company I work for has a store there that I have to call from time to time. That's really cool! ~Randy
Alan, it's still there, but I have a feeling it doesn't quite have the same appeal. Maybe Randy can drive by and take a picture for us. I do know that someone was murdered in one of their rooms in 2008. The victim lived there and was murdered by his brother. There are absolutely no reviews on any travel websites, so that makes me think they only rent by the week or month.
I'll check into it. Either me or Anna at Chickens in the Basement. She's lives in the Raleigh area, but is from Nashville, which is only 10 min or so from there. I wasn't aware of the murder, but I'm not surprised. Rocky Mount tends to be one of our higher crime cities. ~Randy
A heartfelt thanks and farewell to my readers. My last post (the thousand and first!) will be on November 7, 2012. The blog will remain online, but there won't be any new posts as I need to make time for other things. There is a chance I'll be back, but if so it won't be for awhile. I hope you'll take the time to peruse the archives.
How To Find Things
There's treasure in the archives, so here's how to browse and find what you want:
1. Enter a search word or phrase in the box below - anything from Princess Grace to Prohibition or Graf Zeppelin.
2. Or, go down to the bottom of the page and browse the "Cloud of Tags". The number next to the tag indicates how many posts have that tag. Clicking on it will bring up all of them. (I realize now that it doesn't always bring up all of them. If there are a lot, then it will only bring up the most recent ones, but if you click on older posts at the bottom then it will bring up more.)
3. You can also go through the archives by date. Just click on the triangle next to the year or month to open the list.
I love antique postcards because they preserve evidence of everyday life as well as celebrations and sad events. Looking at an old postcard is like holding a single piece of a puzzle; we have to imagine the rest.
I will try to put up a postcard every day. If you have a special request for a particular city or place, let me know!
ooh. sweet MC architecture.
ReplyDeleteI like it, too.

I know what you mean : there is an innocence about the architecture that, in itself, is attractive. I wonder if it is still standing 60 years on?
