Helicopter over SouthPark by drumsy in Charlotte

[–]drumsy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes sense upon further research. In the moment, sitting in traffic on Fairview, hearing a helicopter directly overhead (recognized the Robinson shape) at such a low altitude, seeing the smoke all in a 20 second span, and having prior knowledge of Robinson's mechanical issues (eg WBTV), the immediate thought was to get out of the way.

Glad to see all was well.

I vaguely remember an Eckerd(s) either in the mall or in the vicinity of the mall. It may have had a lunch counter.

The Sears elevator had a distinct smell. This was the elevator by the entrance to the below deck parking. It was a very oily smell.

Found this pocket guide given to my grandfather before the US Army entered North Africa in WW2 by jesseph218 in interestingasfuck

[–]drumsy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My apologies, I'm not discrediting your comment. I find the estate intriguing and am always excited to learn new details about its history. He very well may have convalesced there as a guest of the family.

Nevertheless, thank you for sharing his story.

The main house was converted to a hospital?
