thanks for dropping by to leave us a message. This area is beautiful. Glad you still go through here from time to time. We have been living here 7 years and things are really changing. Tourism means money but we hope the area still stays small town like it is.

Saw your comment on members blog on trip through the Carolinas. We lived in Newport, NC early in our marriage from 1961 through 1964. We often travel through on our way to FLA. and try to meet old friends. Sadly many have passed on or moved away.

We first lived in the first house right off Hwy70 on the Loop Rd. ($55./Mo). First born son was born in an old school that was made into a tiny hospital. It was right on the water in Morehead City. The doctor was appropriately named "Dr. Sam Hatcher".

Will likely stop in the area again in Feb on our way south. Need a couple of meals from "Captain Bill's" and "The Sanitary Fish Market". Love your area and the memories of our young years there.

Best regards,
