Praise for the I-95 corridor wildflowers in North Carolina

NEAR WILSON, N.C. — Driving down Interstate 95 south of Washington D.C. and especially Richmond, Va. isn’t the most scenic ride.* The land is generally flat, the road barely curves, every interchange looks the same and there are no sizable towns. I was not relishing the North Carolina portion of our drive to the South [...]

Restaurant Review: Parker’s barbecue

WILSON, N.C. — I took the advice of commenter Sean and John T. (who emailed me) and visited Parker’s Barbecue last Friday. I enjoy Carolina-style barbecued pork and was eager to try some from an authentic Carolina restaurant.
Parker’s is on the side of US 301 in an unassuming building. Upon entering the restaurant, diners [...]
