Marker minute
All around North Carolina there are historical markers by the side of the road celebrating an event or person. Officially called the 'North Carolina Highway Historical Marker Program' which has the somewhat bizarre slogan of 'history on a stick'. It does makes it fun on long drives to read them out and interestingly there are many markers to be found all around the city. Take for example the marker near the bridge to Wrightsville beach: BABIES HOSPITAL: D-94; Pioneer pediatric hospital opened here in 1920 by Dr. J. Buren Sidbury. Also provided training of nurses. Closed 1978. US 74 at Summer Street west of Wrightsville Beach.
