NC Transportation Museum
The Back Shop is the largest building on the grounds of the North Carolina Transportation Museum. When it was constructed in 1905 for Spencer Shops, it was the largest industrial building in the state. It was used for the complete overhaul of steam locomotives. The North Carolina Transportation Museum is located in Spencer, North Carolina. It is a great place to visit for “Kids” of all ages. Coleman enjoyed it when he was only two.

Rauch and Lang BX-7 Brougham
The 1918 Electric Rauch & Lang BX-7 Brougham was built by Rauch & Lang of Cleveland, Ohio, with a Brougham body style. A Brougham was a carriage with an outside chauffer’s seat, a design also popular with early electric cars. Rauch & Lang started as a wagon company in 1884 and built its first electric vehicle in 1905. It ceased building cars in 1928.
The Rauch & Lang Carriage Company was incorporated in 1884, by Jacob Rauch and Charles E. J. Lang. Producing some of the best known and expensive carriages in Cleveland.
According to an advertisement in January 1911, Rauch & Lang Electrics could be procured with shaft or enclosed chain drive. No matter your preference, you could still have the exquisite finish and style which distinguishes all Rauch & Lang cars. Both drives are noiseless, efficient and strong. The Rauch & Lang Carriage Company stood behind all the cars.

Hiking along Steele Creek Trail at Anne Springs Close Greenway, Coleman and I stopped to pay a visit to the Hobbit’s Homes before continuing on our way. If you’re not looking carefully you could miss seeing the Hobbit’s Homes hidden within the tree.

Doors of Hearst Castle
Hearst Castle, known formally as La Cuesta Encantada (Spanish for “The Enchanted Hill”), is a historic estate in San Simeon, located on the Central Coast of California.
Conceived by William Randolph Hearst, the publishing tycoon, and his architect Julia Morgan, the castle was built between 1919 and 1947.
Currently, Hearst Castle is a museum open to the public as a California State Park and registered as a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark.
Interestingly, Hearst, his castle and his lifestyle were satirized by Orson Welles in his 1941 film Citizen Kane. Hearst sought to suppress this film and Welles’ allusions to his art collections ( paintings, statues, pictures, etc) and his references to acquiring so many acquisitions to equal enough for ten museums being the loot of the world.

Decorations on Doors can be interesting and insightful this time of the year. Some choose to keep it simple; others minimalistic, and still others go all out in their decorations for Halloween. Whether you choose to decorate for Autumn or for Halloween is entirely up to you. Not everyone chooses to decorate their doors or their yards to coincide with the holidays/seasons. That is perfectly okay. Me, myself, I choose not to decorate the outside of our apartment for Halloween. It is a holiday I celebrated as a child, but as an adult I no longer do. These are a few doors I seen lately displaying Autumn/Halloween decorations.

While taking a long walk through the neighborhood; we noticed several houses that were decorated with fall decorations. Some of the houses were decorated with Autumn decorations while others were already decorated with Halloween decorations. These are a few of the decorations we saw on our walk.
