This is an awesome little used book store that's been around forever. You can trade in books for store credit and "pennies are more work than they're worth." Great little place! They usual have the book I'm looking for too.

There's a beautiful view of this lake from the top of James B. Hunt Library on Centennial Campus. They allow fishing on this lake too
I finally got a DSLR camera and got this shot after a rainy day at Yates Mill. This is actually a small groove between some rocks at the mill, but the picture makes it look a little more spectacular. I'll take tips from any of you pros out there!
After heavy rains in the area I hoped for more water coming over the wall but nope. Anyway I decided to try and be different, not shoot the same scene as everyone else. Here it is!!!

This is a really unique bar that just opened down town. You can poor yourself as much beer as you want of each beer and you pay by the ounce. They're constantly changing the taps out too. They have a pretty good sized menu, but the food isn't spectacular.
