Happened to run over to Kings Mountain today (link added)
No doubt you’ve heard about the new mega casino under construction there. 12-story luxury hotel, a number of restaurants, etc, etc. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 6/11/2026, 4:23:59 PM ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 6/11/2026, 4:24:43 PM

I bet a lot of it hasn't changed at all. The casino is a tribal affair.

Don’t you feel like you’re cheating on your SLR 😀?

I don't keep it in my car - never did. It's safely tucked away in
its old camera bag in the corner of my office. Has only been used once in the last four years. I did all that for a long time - nearly 50 if you include my early days in the 'burg before I moved here. I had a helluva ride but I don't miss it. Much.

Here’s my current photo bag, bought before we visited London in 2001. My
first bag was a Kiwi, bought in 1983. I used the tripod straps to hang it from my backpack. Actually kept that bag until a few years ago, until all those foam dividers disintegrated. So the PC lens case could use some leather oil or outright replacement. Check out the wheels- the outer casing completed fractured. I only discovered it this morning when trying to roll. No way i can lug that, plus a tripod bag, around on my next trip.
