The perfect spot to watch takeoffs and landings at Charlotte-Douglas International was an underappreciated place. It was also where Bill and Annette Grier fell in love, and came to work on their marriage.
What a wonderful, lovely story! Makes my heart happy. They’re probably associated with Brown Grier road too. And that Dixie neighborhood? I believe that’s where the old Byrum’s General Store was. My grandparents lived in Steele Creek. My grandmother took me to Byrum’s once to buy seeds for the massive garden. I saw a pack for Morning Glory vines, which I spent many hours removing from said garden. I couldn’t believe that someone bought them ON PURPOSE! Love your stories!

What a grand story! Worth the 6 year wait Id say.
I adore the story. So many times I have wanted to write down and publish conversations just like this.
