Below: Lee and Karen Duquette could not get to the other
side of the water tower to see what is said. |

Lee and Karen Duquette came to
Sweet Caroline's Restaurant
and stopped to eat. To learn about the restaurant, click
here. There will be a link at the bottom of that page to take you
back here.
IF you are NOT interested in the restaurant, continue scrolling down
for a few photos in Blacksburg, SC. |

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette
passed a car with a South Carolina plate. The car was noticeable for
two reasons -
(1) The roof was hard-sided with a convertible top,
which was down at the time.
(2) It must be a foreign car because the steering wheel was on the RIGHT-hand
side of the car. |

Below: As Lee and Karen Duquette
drove through Gaffney South Carolina, Karen Duquette noticed that one
of the city's flags was hung upside-down. |
 |
Below: Karen Duquette also
noticed a nice mural by the corners of North Shelby and East Church
Street in Blacksburg, South Carolina so she got out of the car to take
a photo. The sidewalk was very narrow and a police car was parked right
there, so Karen could not get a photo facing "straight on".
So she had to settle for the best photo she could get from an angle.
There was not any traffic, but even if Karen had stood in the street
to take the photo (which she did not), the police car would have blocked
part of the photograph. |
 |
Below: Eagle-eyed Lee Duquette
noticed that the building in the above mural is the same building that
was right across the street, (which currently has an addition off to
the side). It is the Police Department building for the city of Blacksburg,
located at 101 S. Shelby Street. They have to wonder if it will every
re-open and what it might become. |
 |
Below: Continuing on, Lee and Karen Duquette noticed a big, empty, Castle, so Karen Duquette took
a photo. A beheaded statue stood to the side of the doorway, partially
hidden behind the tree.
They are not exactly sure where the Castle is located, but it was
just before they got on the highway I-85 near North Carolina and South
Carolina border. It was all closed up. |
