Nah, never lived there, just went over there quite a bit w/my dad when I was a kid. Had some friends whose daughters went to Salem. I remember the guy what owned Staley's had a Rolls & would park it as square in the door as he could...Kinda an "Up Yers !" I thought to all of his customers...Remember the summer the dude jumped off the Wachovia bldg ? The son of one of the guys my dad went over there to see was a year younger than me,we were just at the age to be REAL impressed w/something like that, 10-11 or so. There was a clothing store, Norman Stockton's that my dad went to, & I got drug there, too. But there was a guy there who Dad hit it off with, Chuck, I think was his name, he was a kid working his way thru Wake, he was a Long-Haired Hippie, complete w/moustache, but he & Daddy clicked, Henry bought LOTS of clothes from him over the years, Chuck stayed & ended up owning/running that store...Funny how you remember stuff like that....That's been 35-40 years ago now....
