Latta Place

Latta Place (formerly Latta Plantation), also known as Latta House, is a historic house located in Huntersville, North Carolina near Mountain Island Lake. Built in about 1800 in a Federal style, the plantation also contains some elements of Georgian design, including the house's main staircase. The house and its environs are currently used as a living history exhibit and museum dedicated to exhibiting the facets of daily life in the antebellum North Carolina Piedmont. Historic Latta Plantation hosts a variety of living history events throughout the year, including battle reenactments, summer camps, and homeschool programs. The site was formerly operated by a nonprofit corporation, but the land is owned by Mecklenburg County, and maintained by the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation department. The property also houses the Ezekiel Alexander Log Home, a log building built between 1760 and 1790, that formerly sat in nearby Charlotte. In 2021 the Plantation was temporarily closed and an event cancelled after a controversial description of an upcoming Juneteenth event was posted online. The post was condemned by the county, town of Huntersville, and the mayor of nearby Charlotte. The post, which referred to "the massa himself" and "white refugees" that would appear in the event, was defended by the site manager Ian Campbell who is black. Mecklenburg County staff are currently working to renovate the site before reopening it. The site's new mission and vision communicates a commitment to "Truth, Transparency, Compassion, Transformation and Unity." It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

Marbles Kids Museum

Marbles Kids Museum is a nonprofit children's museum located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina in the Moore Square Historic District. Marbles was founded in 2007 as a result of the merger between Exploris, an interactive global learning center, and Playspace, a children's museum aimed at preschool through early elementary age children. Marbles mission is to "…spark imagination, discovery and learning through play." Exhibits The museum has several permanent, play-based exhibits that align with five core initiatives: Ready Set Learn. Be Healthy, Be Active. Create, Innovate. Explore, Experiment. Connect. IMAX theater Marbles has an IMAX theater on its campus that plays first-run Hollywood features and 45-minute documentary movies. The screen is the largest conventional IMAX in the state, measuring 52 x 70 ft (16.1 x 21.3 m). History The museum's predecessor, Exploris, opened in 1999 as a $39.5 million state-of-the-art interactive global learning center. Playspace was an interactive children's museum aimed at preschool through early elementary age children. It was originally located in City Market and would remain there until the late 1990s, when it moved to 410 Glenwood Avenue in a former dairy building. Though some funding was provided by Wake County, the non-profit museum was mostly financed through corporate sponsorship of individual exhibits as well as the $5-per-person admission price (in addition to memberships). In the summer of 2007, the two museums closed. Playspace would then be moved into Exploris' building, and a new name for the combined museums was chosen. The new name, Marbles, was selected to reflect the new museum's unique two-story stainless steel wall grid inset with over 1.2 million marbles. It was revealed to the public that same year on opening day, September 29. On September 16, 2024, Wake County approved a $6.14 million expansion and renovation, for which the county would contribute $2.7 million. 2,600 square feet each will be added on the first and second floors along with a new stairway and a rooftop courtyard, and the Northwest section will be renovated. The expansion will include an exhibit called "Workforce of the Future". Construction is expected in Fall 2025. References External links Kids Museum
Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point

Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU) is one of the largest military terminals in the world. It serves as a transfer point between rail, trucks, and ships for the import and export of weapons, ammunition, explosives and military equipment for the United States Army and is operated by the 596th Transportation Brigade. Facility description The terminal lies between the small town of Boiling Spring Lakes, North Carolina, and the Cape Fear River a few miles upstream of Fort Johnston (North Carolina) and the small city of Southport, North Carolina. Built in 1951 and opened in 1955, the facility is situated on an Army-owned 8,500-acre (34 km2) site on the banks of the Cape Fear River in Brunswick and New Hanover counties of North Carolina approximately 16 miles (26 km) south of Wilmington, North Carolina. An additional 2,100 acres (8.5 km2) was set aside on Pleasure Island (location of Carolina, Kure, and Fort Fisher beaches) as a buffer zone around the facility. The terminal is not an open post and access is restricted. The wharfs are also restricted and not accessible to the public (no landing or docking). The Cape Fear River directly in front of the wharfs is restricted and non-military traffic is restricted to transit only (no anchoring). The port can handle up to 6 ships simultaneously and features large cranes for loading and unloading vessels. A network of 62 miles (100 km) of railroad tracks move munitions and supplies around the facility. History The earliest known use of the area dates to 1725 when George Burrington operated a plantation following his first term as colonial governor of the then Province of North Carolina. It later was known as Snows Point when owned by rice planter Robert Snow. During the Civil War, the area hosted an artillery battery protecting the Cape Fear River. Its isolation, few structures and access to deep water made it an ideal location as an ammunition transfer point. Sunny Point military logistics center was built in 1951 and opened in 1955. The port has transferred munitions to every major armed conflict since it was established. The facility was especially active during the Vietnam War with up to six ships being simultaneously loaded. 466,000 tons of cargo was transferred through MOTSU during the Persian Gulf War.

Военный морской терминал Санни-Пойнт

Военный морской терминал Санни-Пойнт (англ. аббревиатура MOTSU) — крупнейший военный портовый терминал в мире, ключевой пункт доставки военных грузов на атлантическом побережье США, основной глубоководный порт сухопутных войск на восточном побережье и один из немногих терминалов Министерства обороны США, оборудованных для обработки боеприпасов в контейнерах. Он служит перевалочным пунктом между железной дорогой, грузовиками и морскими судами для импорта и экспорта оружия, боеприпасов, взрывчатых веществ и военной техники для армии США и обслуживается 596-й транспортной бригадой, находящейся в ведении Командования военного наземного развёртывания и распределения (США). Описание Терминал находится в штате Северная Каролина, между населённым пунктом Бойлинг-Спринг-Лейкс, и рекой Кейп-Фир, в нескольких километрах вверх по течению от Форт-Джонстона и города Саутпорт. Объект начали строить в 1951 году и запустили в эксплуатацию в 1955 году. Он расположен на принадлежащем армии участке площадью 34 км 2 на берегу реки Кейп-Фир в округах Брансуик и Нью-Ганновер в Северной Каролине примерно в 26 км к югу от Уилмингтона. Также 8,5 км 2 занимает буферная зона вокруг объекта острове Удовольствий. Порт может принимать до 6 судов одновременно и оснащен большими кранами для погрузки и разгрузки. Для перемещения грузов по объекту построена сеть железных дорог общей протяжённостью 100 км. Сухопутная логистика Основными (85% от общего грузопотока через порт) поставщиками военных грузов для порта являются: Военный склад Хортон Завод боеприпасов в Маккалистере Военный склад Ред-Ривер Завод боеприпасов Крейн Военный склад Блу-Грасс Армейское депо Энистон Обеспечение военных конфликтов Через терминал Санни-Пойнт прошло 85% военных грузов для обеспечения войны во Вьетнаме, 90% грузов для обеспечения войны в Ираке ("Щит пустыни"/"Буря в пустыне"), 90% грузов для обеспечения войны в Афганистане ("Несокрушимая Свобода)". Резко увеличился трафик между терминалом Санни-Пойнт и Европой в мае 2022 года. Многие[кто?] аналитики связывают это с обширными военными поставками из США на Украину, однако официальные лица США[кто?] никак не комментируют данный факт. Работа с радиоактивными веществами и химическими боеприпасами Официально известно о следующих фактах: В 1970 году с терминала отбыло впоследствии затопленное в 500 км от побережья Флориды судно, на борту которого находилось 68 тонн нервно-паралитического газа (зарина), в 418 бетонных контейнерах. В 1994 году в MOTSU из Европы прибыла партия отработавших топливных стержней для захоронения в хранилище ядерных отходов Саванна-Ривер-Сайт в Южной Каролине. Примечания
Moores Creek National Battlefield

Moores Creek National Battlefield is a battlefield managed by the U.S. National Park Service. The park commemorates the 1776 victory of a thousand patriots over about eight hundred loyalists at Moore's Creek. The battle dashed the hopes of British provincial governor Josiah Martin for regaining control of North Carolina for the Crown. The loyalist defeat simultaneously ended British plans for an invasionary force to land in Brunswick Town. The Second Continental Congress voted to declare independence from the British on July 4, 1776, shortly after the battle; which took place in the Wilmington area near Currie in Pender County in southeastern North Carolina. The national military park was established on June 2, 1926, and was redesignated as a national battlefield on September 8, 1980. Background Loyalists, mostly Scottish Highlanders, many of whom did not have muskets and were wielding broadswords, expected to find only a small Patriot force on February 27, 1776. Before the arrival of the Loyalists, the Patriots removed the planks from the bridge that crossed Moore's Creek. After removing the planks of wood, they smeared the remaining crossing beams with lard. This forced the Loyalists to cross the bridge in single file. As the Loyalists advanced across the bridge, Patriot shots rang out and dozens of Loyalists fell into the creek below, including their commanders. At the time, the creek was an estimated six feet deep. One commander, Lieutenant Colonel Donald McLeod, died in the battle. Another commander was Colonel Allan MacDonald, the husband of Flora MacDonald of Highland lore who aided Bonnie Prince Charlie following the Jacobite defeat at Culloden Moor in 1746. Stunned, outgunned and leaderless, the Loyalists either surrendered or retreated in confusion. Wagons, weapons and British Pound sterling worth more than $1 million by today's value were seized by the Patriots in the days following the battle. This dramatic victory ended British authority in the colony and greatly influenced North Carolina to be the first colony to vote for independence. The Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, coupled with the Battle of Sullivan's Island near Charleston, South Carolina, a few months later, were the first open conflicts of the American Revolution. Both ultimately led the Thirteen Colonies to declare independence on July 4, 1776. Description and administrative history The central Moores Creek most likely was named in honor of Elizabeth Moore, a pioneer settler. Throughout the park, there are remnants of the 1776 road traveled by Patriot and Loyalist forces. A 1-mile (1.6-km) trail with wayside exhibits leads through the battlefield and across Moores Creek. The historic bridge site is located along the trail. The park, located in a rural area, offers a visitor center with exhibits and audio-visual program, a 0.3-mile (500 m) colonial forest trail, and a picnic area.

PNC Plaza (Raleigh)

PNC Plaza, formerly known as RBC Plaza, is the largest and tallest skyscraper in the city of Raleigh, North Carolina, United States. The 33-story tower rises to a height of 538 feet (164 m) and is situated on a 0.83-acre (3,400 m2) lot housing approximately 730,000 square feet (68,000 m2) of office and retail space, parking and residential condominiums. Location and original purpose The building is at the corner of Fayetteville Street, Martin Street, and Wilmington Street served as corporate headquarters for RBC Bank (formerly RBC Centura), the U.S. banking arm of Royal Bank of Canada, before being bought by PNC Financial Services in 2011. Subsequently, it was renamed as PNC Plaza in early 2012. This is also the tallest tower in North Carolina outside of Charlotte, the largest city in the state. RBC Centura had been courted for years by cities across the East Coast to move its headquarters from Rocky Mount, and in August 2005, CEO Scott Custer announced the bank's intentions to relocate to downtown Raleigh. RBC wanted a tall building that would add to the Raleigh skyline, but the bank needed only 130,000 square feet (12,000 m2) of office space, enough to fill about five floors of an office building. So, Highwoods partnered with Dominion Partners of Raleigh to build 139 residential condos on top of the office building, enough to stretch the building to 33 floors and make it taller than any other office building in the Triangle. Building use and facilities All of the PNC Plaza condominiums sold out in August 2008, less than three months after Dominion started taking non-refundable deposits on the units, which ranged in price from $230,000 to $800,000. There are separate lobbies for the office tenants and the residential tenants, a rooftop swimming pool for residents, and a second parking garage with 1,050 spaces across the street. The building has a floor area of 278,208 square feet (25,846.4 m2) of office space on 11 floors, of which 65 percent is leased to RBC Centura and Raleigh law firm Poyner & Spruill. In September 2009, the Raleigh office of the Williams Mullen law firm moved into 62,500 square feet (5,810 m2) of office space, located on floors 15, 16 and 17 of the RBC Plaza. The facility also has 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) of street-level retail and seven floors of parking.

Two Hannover Square

Two Hannover Square is a 29-story 431.01 ft (131.37 m) skyscraper at 434 Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, North Carolina with 433,900 square feet (40,310 m2) of office space. Its major tenant is Truist bank. From its opening in 1991 until the completion of RBC Plaza in 2008, it was Raleigh's tallest building. History Two Hannover Square, built by the same company as nearby One Hannover Square, opened in 1991 as one of the two tallest buildings in Raleigh, the other being First Union Capitol Center. Because both buildings added so much office space to downtown Raleigh at about the same time, the owners had a hard time finding tenants, and in the case of Two Hannover Plaza, the result was bankruptcy. Phoenix Limited Partnership bought Two Hannover Plaza in 1993 for $18.5 million. In late 2021, the building's iconic BB&T logo was replaced with that Truist Financial, the company that formed from the merger of BB&T and SunTrust Bank.
