RoadDog Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I came across the description of something you might see while cruisin' down those two lane roads. Does anyone have an idea what it might be? I'd never heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Reese Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Could that be the historical markers along the highways that are about 5 ot 6 feet high with something like "On this site in 1765, Mabel Johnson made the first Shoo-fly pie in the state of Delaware"? How was the phrase used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Could that be the historical markers along the highways that are about 5 ot 6 feet high with something like "On this site in 1765, Mabel Johnson made the first Shoo-fly pie in the state of Delaware"? How was the phrase used? I think Dave Wins the Best Answer Prize! Here is a quote from the Topix site that tends to confirm his answer: "The North Carolina Highway Historical Marker Program, aka "history on a stick," recognizes Pender County history as far back as 1663. via StarNewsOnline.com" Is this forum the source for all road knowledge, or what!!?

RoadDog Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Boy are you guys sharp, and that was the article where I got the information. Of interest, if anyone ever gets out to Topsail Beach, NC, you will see the observation towers used when the US was developing our early missile program. Some of them have been turned into residences. There is an excellent museum there and a place that saves sea turtles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
