Swinging Bridge of Sunset Beach, NC

On our way over to the beach this morning, we got stuck for a bridge opening. I decided that I needed to document a piece of history.

This is the last swinging bridge on the East Coast of the United States. There isn’t another one like it. As you can see in the background, they’re building a new high rise bridge over to the island. Soon this bridge will become a part of history.

Charlotte may get Hall of Fame

Atlanta and Daytona Beach still feel good about their chances to land NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, even though a report from Charlotte said that city has already locked up a deal to build the shrine to stock-car racing.

This is where I thought the NASCAR Hall of Fame belonged from the beginning. The majority of the racing teams have their head quarters near the Charlotte Motor Speedway and it only makes sense to put the museum near them.
