I appreciate that. I'm slowly getting better. The best thing to do is to continue taking pictures and never stop. Thanks, Tony. I appreciate that. I’m slowly getting better.

As far as "straightening" Wilmington St, it looks like from the site plan they are actually going to realign it to its original configuration. (It will be great to have the vista down Wilmington St to Peace College back.) When the Wilmington/Salisbury connector was put in 30 years ago the northen stump of Wilmington St was turned into the parking lot there now, and the northern stump of Salisbury was renamed and converted into an entrance to the state gov't parking deck. Halifax St, which ran between Wilmingto/Salisbury was completely obliterated by the state gov't mall. I'm afraid we're stuck with the curve. BTW, the NC AIA plans to build its headquartes on that triangle of land formed by the connector, Peace and Wilmington. Great shot of the Merrimon-Wynn house, Leo.
