"By the way for some great NC barbecue/chicken/shrimp check out Smithfields BBQ on Western Blvd. It's on your left going from NC 24 toward US 17. :-)"

Oysters and hush puppies also on the menu? I've been away from the east coast for 40 years and miss it mucho.

Settled for Hardee’s after my hands thawed out enough to hit their drive thru. Gosh it was COLD, RAINY and I am still frozen 35 min later.

We had 100+ at any one given time and probably another 50 or so heading back and forth to cars to keep warm. There were plenty of interviews, camera’s and a visit from the Sheriff in the parking lot while we were out. Lots of Horn Honking etc. Some went down to check out the WBC (UG’s - Uninvited Guest) and said YES they were there.....but, police had streets closed and with the rain were talking mostly to themselves.

I am sure there will be highlights in papers and on tv news soon. Got to get warm ;)

Hush puppies, yes. Oysters, no. Their focus is BBQ but many of us like shrimp or chicken with it. :-)
