We were originally planning on going to Topsail Beach on the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, but on my way to Goldsboro, had heard that the Embers were going to be playing at the Goldsboro Center Street Jam on Thursday. This band has been around since at least the 60s and is considered to be one of the best Beach Bands around. I was more than happy to stay.
Ate at my first-ever Zaxby's on Wednesday and found the food to be excellent. Went shopping to various places the next two days, including the local K-Mart since we don't have any of those near us anymore in Illinois.
My brother and I drove out to Bentonville Battlefield, about twenty miles from Goldsboro to see what was going on in the several years since we last went there. This was on Thursday, a day when the skies let loose deluge after deluge of rain, making any battlefield drive too difficult. We did tour the small museum and saw an excellent short film about the Civil War and Sherman's Carolina's Campaign which led to Johnston's surrender at Bennett Place, near Durham, North Carolina.
Sadly, the rain caused the Embers show to be cancelled.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
