ok so the rock quarry crap got me thinkin about cool things you did as a high schooler or even now that would be worth checking out

for instance

the old wendell rock quarry
acid park down near Wilson
steam tunnels at State
hopping on the slow moving trains down town
the crabtree creek challenge


feel free to add to the list, legal or illegal, doesnt matter

That's the Ligon family cemetary. I think I do remember seeing some 100 year old graves out there, but not much older, though there are plenty that aren't marked.

The Method community is old though. Meredith College was a slave plantation, and after emancipation, Method became a community of those freed slaves. It was as big as Cary at one point, and appeared on maps alongside Cary in the same size font.

When they were building #1/The Beltline, I guaranfuckingtee they chose the location because it was a black community and they could take the land/move graves/etc without much fuss.

Also, there's a house beside Hillsborough street and the railroad tracks, across from Meredith College, that dates to 1850. It could have been part of that plantation, I haven't really had time to look into it.

7/23/2008 12:04:50 AM

where exactly are the steam tunnels?

9/28/2008 10:02:21 PM

^there are several entrances to them. one is right across from the tunnel C-store. one is inside the free expression tunnel. to my knowledge, those have been locked. the entrance we always used was across from the coliseum deck.. it's a manhole hidden in the bushes. the tunnels run underneath campus. this was 4+ years ago, though, so who knows if you can get in them at all anymore.
