We ate at Hartman's when we first moved to a neighborhood near here (More on Hartman's at Endangered Durham).

I'm glad we had a chance to take pictures and play on this one more time last summer. Last week, as reported in the Herald-Sun's article, Destroyed iconic playground equipment vexes residents, it was taken down and destroyed, even though the neighborhood was told that they could have it to reuse parts. All three of my kids and their friends enjoyed playing on it over the years. [ML]

The Book Exchange

I took this picture when we went there one of the last weekends before it closed. I started going there in college - back in the 1980's. It was amazing what you could find in some corner...

Obviously, there's no website, but the Independent has a good article about it on their website.

Picnic shelter ceiling

I still vividly remember when the picnic shelter at the NC Museum of Life and Science was totally enclosed and contained the space exhibit.
