Carolina Lost - Miscellaneous

Carolina Lost: Miscellaneous

There are countless amounts of lost things throughout North Carolina. From the large cities of Charlotte and Raleigh, to the small towns of Lincolnton or Zebulon, or any of the many rural crossroads in the state, there are old billboards, abandoned sheds, or buildings that once were the hot spot of the county. For now, this is a catch all page,. As a category grows, they will spin off and move from here. If you have any suggestions or photos to add to Carolina Lost, please e-mail me .

Billboards: Go to any small town in North Carolina and you are bound to find a faded billboard on the exterior brick of a building.

General Stores: Throughout rural North Carolina - whether it is the mountains or the coast - General Merchandise stores are a dying breed.
