Abstract:
The Do Drop In was established in 1947 in Winterville, North Carolina, by Wilbur Hardee. A year later he opened another restaurant at Port Terminal, near Greenville, and in 1954, Hardee purchased a building in Greenville known as the Three Steers. At a McDonald's Fast Food restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina, Hardee noticed that their hamburgers were grilled and thought charcoaled hamburgers would be better. To prepare hamburgers this way, he opened the original Wilbur Hardee Restaurant in Greenville in 1960. Hardee sold out to Jim Gardner the same year and by 1986 there were more than 1,500 Hardees in the southeast.

Abstract:
General Bryan Grimes had seven horses shot out from underneath him in the Civil War, but he was not killed in battle. In 1880 William Parker assassinated Grimes four miles outside his plantation in Pitt County. Grimes's neighbor Howell Paramour had paid Parker to commit the murder as an act of revenge. After a mistrial, the case was moved to Williamston, and the accused were set free. Parker was later lynched after bragging about getting away with the crime.

Abstract:
For Southerners like James and Patty Massey, the War between the States left its presence in stories of what the South had been like before the Yankee invasion. It left ghosts and ghost stories, which proved hauntings happened in ways beyond the War’s decades’ strong aftermath.
