& white band painted around the pole.
The Pink Palace had a shrunken head, a log with
holes you stuck your hand into to try to decide what
things were, and stuffed big game on the walls shot
by Barry Brooks (whose estate was on the south side
of Scenic Highway in Raleigh).

the PA system, apparently some sort of code for
security and other staff.
The Memphis Belle was on Central.
Riding the Pippin and The Old Mill at the
Fairgrounds. Outside the Fairgrounds was a
locomotive you could climb on.
