We need to take up a collection and buy Dr. Morrill a new microphone. LOL

Jack Pentes is someone I’d love to learn more about and I.could listen to Dan Morrill talk for hours. Thanks for posting the videos! If only I’d had history teachers as good as him!

This was great. I learned something new today.

My family came from that area trying to find out who they were.Bowen

Good video. If you add the word Charlotte your video title would pop up on more searches.

awesome video !

I am from the Steele Creek area....originally. Do you have any information on that area? Would love to hear about it. I have enjoyed listening to y'all!

I would like for Andre kerns to contact me.

Thanks for sharing this interesting, important and, all too often, overlooked part of local history!

Thank you Andre, way to go! Granville County N.C. Black Indians Yay!

It's great to hear from a guest! Thanks for sharing your story, Andre!

It's great that PMI found a way to save the McNinch House. I'm interested to see what happens to the Brantley House in Iredell. Great work, PMI!

"Beads on a string" -- Great stuff!

“JAMES KNOX POLK!” Love it!

Excellent. Thanks for your historical perspective... good to hear and see your vigor and knowledge. Much enjoyed

Thanks for the insights on kulturkampf & appreciating "Young Hickory", James Knox Polk! You da man!

"No bacon without de Soto". Classic Dr. Dan.

18:02 (Hernando de Soto) -- There was a Spanish Lost Colony near present day Georgetown SC (San Miguel de Gualdape) founded by Lucas Vazquez de Ayllon in 1526. The survivors of the colony may have joined local tribes.

The top of my personal list for lost Charlotte places is Durwood Drive in Dilworth. My maternal grandparents lived there for two generations until CMC needed a new parking deck.

This was an excellent presentation. Thank you.

Excellent information as always.

Hi Dan, Thank you for all of these videos! I'm the grandson of Charles Bates and currently live here in Charlotte so was very happy to hear you discuss my grandfather's work! About a year ago, we had my grandfather (who lived down in Charleston before his death this June) come visit and we were able to go inside the Holy Comforter Church in Belmont with him. What a joy it was to hear his stories about the church! Thanks, Bates Adair

There is an old service station at 4732 Central Ave that looks like the Phillips service stations in the photos. I don't know the history of it, but it looks very similar to those other mid-century moderns. A business called International Auto Care is located there now.

The house on Crescent Avenue being discussed at the 3:12 mark was Katie Holliday's (my old babysitter's house). She's now a practicing family attorney in Charlotte.

Brilliant & fearless! Thank you, Dr. Dan L. Morrill. Your dedication to history of my hometown gives me great peace.

Please keep these coming! Rarely taking that part of Queens I had never noticed the entryway in to Myers Park and all of these videos are making me fascinated with Charlotte's history. Thanks for making them!

He is right. The old station in Donalds is used as storage for an antique shop. www.scpictureproject.org/abbeville-county/donalds-train-station.html

Great stories. I love your Dad. I remember him from my child hood days playing with Linda in Middleton Drive. Quick question: what you mean by trying to save the house on Sharon Lane? Is it empty? For sale?

Dr. Morrill-- wonderful podcast. I'm so happy to be able to subscribe. I live in a listed property in North Mecklenburg in a house presumed to have been built in 1835 and remodeled extensively in 1890. There is a forest of periwinkle in the adjoining woods, now slated for development as townhomes. I'm so glad to have watched this. When winter comes and the wisteria dies back I hope to go looking for evidence of a cemetery.

Interesting. I grew up in Eastover. My mother was born here in 1921 and died at 96 just two years ago. My grandmother lived on Cottage, which interesting, my grandmother referred to as the poor housing, so she must have known about the history of tenant ownership. I owned a house on Middleton in my adulthood. I lived with my parents on Granville Road in Myers Park in a truly beautiful house designed by CCHook. I live now across the creek. Considering the current events, it might be honest to remind the public that the deeds on houses in Eastover restricted black ownership. Racist from the beginning. We, as Charlotteans, need to talk about it, and humbly take responsibility for the roots of the housing inequity that exists here today because of the history of Eastover and those laws.

Great job, I like history

You two make a good team.

Totally enjoyed it. Thanks so much. I come from a long line of native Charlotteans - I think even have ancestors in the settlers' cemetery. My grandparents died young! So, a lot has been lost, but I find the history of this city fascinating.Thanks for sharing what you know. We want to hear it!

You did a good job. You got it on here, girl!

Thanks for sharing this information. Dan is such a wealth of local knowledge that has largely been forgotten.

Very informative, love these videos!
