When you looked on line, did you look along White Street? That's the

I didn't look carefully, just at the block with the Hardee's
and the CVS, It looked altogether too commercial 20th
century for my taste.

We should have given you a tour of that area in daylight--you would have

Daylight, nighttime, wouldn't have made all that much
difference to me, though we're all of an age where
daylife is more relevant than nightlife.

seen that White St. looks more late 50s/early 60s.

So even that's less than worth the zoning board losing
sleep over. In any case, how much I actually saw would
be hardly worth that effort; the others might have
enjoyed it.

Maybe next time!

We can try to remember it.

We have the de facto archivist who can remind

Heh. Four words - hungry palate-dead college students.

That's 5 words. (G) Another hot dog place (actually ended up as a chain
of 5--4 in Raleigh, one in Cary--Snoopy's, started in 1978. The original owner just passed away a few days ago; I think he'd closed all but the original stand some years ago. He started it in a converted gas station.
It's another place we've not tried.

I've not heard of it. But then to me a 50 Best Hamburgers
article would be interesting, but I'd most likely read right
past a 50 Best Hot Dogs one. For me, once you get beyond
plump, snappy casing, enough garlic, and not too much salt,
the rest is pretty irrelevant. I can do without that other
stuff, ketchup, mustard, onions, or chili, or dill pickle,
neon relish, and celery salt.

More like coffee shops now--there are at least 2 in the downtown

What a pity! Shows how up-to-date I am.

We don't frequent the coffee places either. Did stop in at one
occaisionally one semester as one of Steve's classes that met at night "adjurned" to the place after class was officially over. I had a class
that night also but we dispersed afterward. After that semester we
stopped even the occaisional coffee shop visits.

Pnce in a while I've received coffeehouse cards in some
kind of promotion or other, but I've always given them
away. Once or twice one of the fancy drinks has caught
my eye, but I've always resisted.

I do enjoy architecture, but only if I can see it.

A walking tour might be better in that case.

In any case. But we can cross that sidewalk when we
get to it.

instead.

Marriage adds another dimension.

We also had been living in military housing for the past 25 years or so, wanted to be in more of a neighborhood. We were within walking distance
of the school and downtown, which we'd not have been in some of the
seminary housing.

As some of us would say, indeed; but think how great
shape your legs would have been in.
