It has all the necessities, as do Exits 104 and 102, but after that is nothing for eight miles save for the Interstate 16 interchange at Exit 99. The Georgia welcome center is a beautiful rest stop located two miles north of Exit 109 (the first one to Savannah). Good news: you have three lanes each direction now through Florida, and you're in Georgia less than an hour and a half! Bad news: there are few exits amid large gaps. Georgia gas, food and lodging apart from the welcome center don't start until four miles inside the border, so take Exit 8 or 5 if you can't wait. If you must stop before then, do Santee at Exit 98. Then it's 13 miles until more at Exits 8 and 5 and finally the Georgia border.īottom line: Load up around Florence, then drive until Georgia. After a rest area at Exit 47, there's nothing until essentials can be found at Exits 38, 33, 28 and 22. You'll find relief at Exits 82 and 77, then there's essentially a 20-mile gap until more options at Exits 57 and 53. Next you'll endure basically 16 miles of nothing except the Interstate 26 intersection at Exit 86, where traffic can build up. The last is best because it's Santee near scenic Lake Marion, so it's a pleasant view on a highway sorely lacking interesting sights. Then over a 21-mile stretch, Exits 119, 115, 108, 102 and 98 have lots of stuff. Exit 135 offers everything, but then it's basically barren for 16 miles. 52) is popular with dozens of options, but it can be crowded getting around there.įrom Exit 157, there's no food for 22 miles save a rest area at Exit 139 and just a few gas stations and hotels. I'm partial to Exit 169 (TV Road), with two clean travel plazas with little traffic. As I-95 widens to six lanes for 10 miles, five exits with many amenities off each lie in the Florence area through Exits 160A/B (the Interstate 20 interchange). 38, Oak Grove) and a rest area at Exit 172. From there, it's 20 miles of nothing except multiple restaurant/gas station combos and one hotel at Exit 181 (S.C. ![]() If needed, take the welcome center at Exit 195 or the stops at Exit 193 or 190, both in Dillon (there are no hotels at 190). Avoid this tourist trap unless you must stop for food, gas or lodging.īottom line: Either plan stops in Roanoke Rapids and Lumberton, or if you've filled up in southern Virginia, aim for Selma or Smithfield and plan to stop in South Carolina. After that is nothing until South of the Border at Exit 1. Pauls/Raeford).Try to wait until Lumberton, which has a good selection at its Exits 22 (the first hotels since Exit 49), 20 (Fuller's BBQ) and 17. Then it's a desert for anything except gas until Exit 31 (St. Options are slim again until Exits 61 (Wade) and 49 (Fayetteville) and a nice rest area at Exit 48. Six exits within 10 miles after the Interstate 40 interchange at Exit 81 provide plenty of choices off each. 264, Wilson), 107 and 106 (both Kenly), 97 (Selma) and 95 (Smithfield) and no gas for 11 miles after Exit 90. For the next 66 miles after that, there's just two rest areas (Exits 142 and 99) only more than one restaurant and hotel available at Exits 121 (U.S. In particular, after Exit 173 at Roanoke Rapids with the popular Ralph's Barbecue and other offerings, you have a single place to eat or relax (if that) until Exit 145 (Battleboro). Get what you need 10 miles or so into the Old North State, or you'll run into trouble. With that in mind, here are my overviews and recommendations on where to stop going south on I-95 with the least amount of hassle. Even a speed limit of 70 mph can seem like an eternity when you consider there are at least 34 gaps of seven miles between exits for these essentials in these four states, by my calculations. 17 while I-95 remained under construction - plan where to get food, gas and lodging in advance to reduce your headaches. Take it from someone who's been going this route to Walt Disney World since the early 1970s, when you had to use U.S. It doesn't get much better in Georgia and Florida either.

Not to be confused with Eagle, Thunderbird is identified by an exaggerated crooked beak and prominent horns. It is sometimes suggested to epitomize power and strength. Others recount that this supernatural figure creates the boom of thunder as he flaps his wings in flight and is said to shoot lightning snakes from his eyes. Some oral traditions suggest that Thunderbird preys on Killer Whales and lives in the peaks of the coastal mountains. Thunderbird is not a primary crest figure amongst Northern Nations, instead being associated with Southern nations like the Nuu-chah-nulth, Salish, and Kwakwaka’wakw.

Auble seconded Fang’s worries that a blanket ban would have exploitable loopholes that could allow unregistered “shadow lobbying” to thrive, and argued more extensive transparency measures would need to be included. “Instead of a ban - Congress should expand enforcement powers to DOJ, the GAO and OCE to crack down on unregistered lobbying, tighten the definition of lobbyist per ABA suggestions, & have lobbyists wear name tags w/client list when they meet with lawmakers/staff,” tweeted Fang.ĭan Auble, a senior researcher with OpenSecrets, spoke to Vox about the importance of insider knowledge for lobbying firm’s success. The progressive journalist then proceeded to list actions he thought would be more effective in reducing corporate influence on public policy. “The only thing the ban accomplishes in Crowley’s case is that we don’t know his full client list,” Fang argued. Crowley evaded the year-long ban former lawmakers are supposed to honor after finishing their service by calling himself a “strategic consultant,” and now works for Squire Patton Boggs, DC’s largest lobbying firm. Very strong case that registered lobbying bans simply reduce transparency and little else,” Fang tweeted.įang used the prominent centrist Democrat Joe Crowley, who was defeated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in November, as an example. “Most lobbyists are unregistered and the ban don’t have any impact on the industry or influence peddling.

Recently, architectural historian Jim Wolf dug into the mystery of who actually created them, and he landed on the answer that it was actually glassworker John Mallon. This discovery confirmed something that many historians had a hunch about: the true artisan who made its impeccable stained glass windows. According to the Times Union, workers were removing parts of the wall when they noticed something peculiar: a beautifully preserved envelope tucked inside from 100 years ago from the Pacific American Decorative Company. In September 2019, one of the many mysteries of the Winchester House, as the National Registry of Historic Places refers to it, was solved during restoration work in one of its many dining rooms. Courtesy Winchester Mystery House Ongoing Renovations ![]() The home was designated a historic landmark in 1974, and it's listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. The couple opened the house up to the public in 1923 and eventually bought the property (which is now owned by a privately held company that represents their descendants). It was then leased to John and Mayme Brown for a 10-year period. The rumors only grew after her death, when the property sold at auction to a private investor for around $135,000-today just north of $2 million. She later subscribed to many magazines and journals on the subjects and taught herself the craft. And, of course, the truth is likely bit simpler: Sarah's father had been a carpenter during the height of the Victorian period, and so she grew up loving design and architecture. Historians have never been able to corroborate the visit with the medium, and many of Sarah's longtime employees and friends denied the story both during and after her lifetime. Unfortunately for her, the ghosts followed her to California, so she tried to outsmart them by building a rambling home with a tangle of hallways. Other versions of the story purport that Sarah was driven west because she was being haunted in the family mansion in New Haven. According to folklore, Sarah was motivated to build a home with such odd features because a medium told her that the ghosts of those killed by the Winchester rifle would haunt her until the day she died unless she went out west to build a house with room for all of them. In order to make sense of this perceived monstrosity in what was then a rural community, rumors began to swirl about her motivations.
