Just before crossing the North Carolina line, stopped at the long-time tourist trap known as "South of the Border." I couldn't resist after all those funny billboards along I-95. Found a geocache on the pedestrian bridge, then snapped this photo of Pedro.
I spent the evening in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a big military town with Fort Bragg nearby. The old downtown area has some historic buildings, the most significant of which is the Market House. Built in 1832-33, the structure's upper level was the town hall, while the bottom level served as an open-air market until 1906. There was a skirmish around the building as Sherman's army moved through the area late in the Civil War. Today, the Market House sits in the middle of a roundabout on the east end of old downtown, and it is still used as a meeting place.
