The history of North Carolina goes back to our country's founding days.
Also found a town called Apex. Given Webster’s definition of apex, this would have to be high point of North Carolina. Works for me, looks like a nice place to live.
Wednesday morning my client and I flew out of Raleigh – Durham to Indianapolis Indiana on Northwest Airlines. I was surprised to see so few people at the airport and my flight was only half full. It may have been that it was a mid morning flight and the crowd took the early flights. But it was the first time in a long time to have a whole row of seats to myself. Here is a picture as we flew over the Appalachian mountains.
Bedford Indiana is known as the limestone capital of the world, and is surrounded by limestone quarries, many of which are dangerously used by the residents for swimming. Much of the limestone used in the construction of various Washington, D.C. monuments was quarried in the Bedford area. Stone from the "Empire Quarry", was used to build the Empire State Building in New York City.
Something else interesting in Indiana, the pawpaw tree grows across most of the eastern United States as a native tree. Mature pawpaw trees produce fruits 2" wide by 10" long, looking and tasting very much like a banana. The fruit is liked immensely by most people and may be purchased at many outdoor markets in West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. The pawpaw pulp has the consistency of creamy custard and may be eaten raw, baked, or used as a pie filling. The trees grow about 15' tall and have been known to produce as much as 60 pounds of pawpaws per tree. Some individual pawpaws weigh up to a pound each.
