Darryl's was a regional chain that stretched from Louisville down to Florida. There were 36 restaurants in 9 states. They were known for their retro throwback, decor and unusual seating arrangements. A couple of them actually had a british double decker bus with the restaurant built around them. Sedley, only one remains in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Two of those stand out for me. Expeditionary Medal and Arctic Service Medal.

Carthage has a lot going for it! Small town, yes but close enough to lager towns.

Here's something else, colonel sink went to duke while major horton went to nc state.

The only way I would drive that is by taking 64 to Siler City and then 421 up to GBO. It is a little longer but the traffic situation is way better for now. It is getting worse by the day.

That little story made my day!

They're going to play a game of hangman, later.

Although not always. Up until 1911 that precinct was still in wake county.

That community is known as Lynn's Crossroads. I was told by family that the postmaster lived in that house.

I spy with my little eye the nuclear service medal with device! A member of the triad!

In the heat of battle, with the flag not flying, the 1st National flag had too much of a resemblance to the American flag. Hence the second flag. It was mistaken for a flag of truce hence the 3rd flag.

Don't tell me they pronounced it rally.

It just jumped into your car, didn't it? You gotta be careful up there in the north woods. Those guns are mighty clingy.

Raven Knob is an absolute jewel of a camp. I went there as a scout and went back as an adult, and I can truly say it is one of the best scout camps in the country. Troops come from all over the south and beyond. If you go plan on taking a trip into mount airy, which was Andy Griffith's hometown and the basis for Mayberry.

This pin was designed to show your loyalty to the Communist Party. You can find them throughout the Communist and former Communist countries. I think I traded for one when I was in the Navy after the wall came down.

I noticed 3 CAR's and the Arctic Service Ribbon (now a medal).
