The inscription reads, "One of the guns used in the defence of Fort Sumter."
No particular story here. I've got two Facebook friends who would appreciate the inherent humor of a "fossilized 'phage" (yeah, we're paleo-/bio- geeks. Sod off) so in a sudden burst of inspiration and energy I grabbed my camera and headed east on Grove and wound up playing tourist, snapping pics all the way to the Boulevard. We won't talk about how many gallons of sweat I lost on this little expedition; let's just say no one stood close to me in line at the 7-11 when I purchased a Diet Peach Snapple.

Funny you should mention it. I went for my Sunday morning constitutional and realized I had my own little phone/camera and could take pictures as I went. The concept really makes one more observant. I took some pics of the old cemetary behind The Centre for Shopping (sorry, Willow Oak Plaza)and meant to snap a few of the old Wilson Trucking site, which has been rendered a nice grassy knoll (put 'n' par anyone?). I s'pose great minds think alike.
On your next walk you should head to the “Reynolds Aluminum Museum” to check this out:
