Reidsville, NC is home to this old 19th century building from what once was clearly the Reidsville Grocery Company, probably a distributor long ago. 04-08

The old building seen here was located in McBee, SC. The sign overhead said Hoffman's Grocery but the faded letters got bleached out in this picture. I had to check this place out and found cases of old soda bottles, probably from the 1970's, inside as well as some empty boxes of all different products long sold still on the shelves. Hoffman's is defiantly a long forgotten roadside relic. 04-08

Danville, VA appears to be a tobacco city with a gigantic ancient complex of Camel and RJ Reynolds factory buildings, some of which were beginning to be restored for other uses.The entire area is probably not much changed since the nineteenth century. Here you see the RJ Reynolds smoke stack (Identical to the one in Durham, NC) from this complex . 04-08

Here is another Coca-Cola bottling plant, this one in the town of Wilson, NC. This was a much large facility, the others being a two story affair yet of a similar style. 05-08

Here's an old textile mill in Augusta, GA that has not been put out of business like so many others in the area. 05-08

Augusta, GA is home to the Confederate Powder Works monument. This place was a gun powder factory during the Civil War and was built in 1862. After the war ended, the chimney stands as a monument to the Civil War as it remained as the only permanent structure built by the Confederate States of America. 05-08
