WOW, North Carolina used to be the place with no tobacco taxes. For hundreds of miles along the highways leading to it were huge billboards telling you to stock up in North Carolina. I remember $1.85 a carton at a time when gasoline was 27 cents a gallon. What are they taxing these days?

I found it interesting that the fellow in the center was sitting closer to the stranger behind him than he was to his wife.

Traveling Floridians. 🙄

Nah. But, the notion of turning I-95 in the state into a toll road is floated on occasion and not laughed at.

We've got a state income tax and a sales tax meted out at county level. Some places have additional taxes to pay for local efforts. E.g., Charlotte has a tax to fund light rail. The governor wanted to boost the cigarette tax to $1.35 per pack. That didn't pass, but defeat wasn't a sure thing. The current rate is 45 cents.

The demographics of this place have changed, and are changing.

And where is the smoke? Maybe I think about something different when I hear "coffee shop" 🙂
But nice pictures so far.

Amsterdam perhaps? 😀 Need a little cake to go with the coffee?

Great picture--it could easily have been taken 40 years ago, what with her retro style.

Thanks for that early in the morning. Almost as good as coffee. I almost clicked it off, but decided to stay for the music (that was neat blues). Then came the fun photographs.

Memphis, you might like the music as well.
