We then drove the short distance to Kure Beach, past Big Daddy's Seafood Restaurant which has been there since at least the 1950s and home of some great seafood. They have a marker in front of it by US-421 saying it was the site where Union forces came ashore for the attack on Fort Fisher a few miles southward.
Kure Beach has a really small "downtown" area and a pier. We took a ride along their road going north from the downtown (one way heading north) and saw the cottage that looks like my grandparents' cottage that was destroyed by Hurricane Hazel. We have often considered renting it to see of the inside is somewhat like the one we lost. Of course, in the ensuing 60 years, there would have been a lot of renovation.

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.
