Fried flounder, lemon meringue pie and 80 years of family history at this North Carolina restaurant

A time-worn menu from 1946 still hangs inside Riverview Café , a wooden building just feet from the New River in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina. Jimmy Lewis opened the place that year as an oyster bar, and four generations of his family have run it since. Johnny Terwilliger, Lewis’s grandson, washed dishes here as a sixth grader, then bought the business from his uncle in 1987 at age 23. The kitchen still fries shrimp and Stump Sound oysters, and the pies trace back to the original baker Janice Terwilliger, Lewis’s daughter and the namesake of the family's shrimp trawler, Miss Janice. The food itself, which is all prepared from scratch, is a draw, but so is the restaurant’s history. Some diners return to revisit memories of childhood special-occasion dinners, and waitresses have been known to remember a regular's usual order. Ask for a back table by the window for river views looking toward Camp Lejeune. Start with crowd favorites like flounder (fried or broiled), collard greens and hush puppies, then finish with a slice of lemon, Key lime or coconut cream pie. Whatever you order, it's going to be fresh. "I have been cleaning fish that were literally swimming an

Pender County asks residents to help locate undocumented graves

Hundreds of unverified, or even forgotten, graves may be scattered across Pender County, officials believe. Now, the county is asking residents to help find them. Pender County has launched an effort to locate burial grounds that may be missing from county maps. The goal is to reduce conflict between historical perseveration and future development , as well as share that information with the public. The county already has mapped over 450 cemeteries and graveyards, but officials believe there are more to locate. The county has asked residents to share information --including locations, historical details, and photographs -- about burial grounds that may be unmapped. The campaign is already yielding results. However, accessing some of the cemeteries could provide a challenge of its own. Why locate cemeteries? Pender County has been mapping cemeteries through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for 15 years. According to the committee overseeing the cemetery identification project, this newest effort aims to take advantage of newer technologies in mapping. The county’s maps, which will be updated with the new burial grounds once verified by the committee, are accessible online to the public. “The new reporting method is expected to reduce future conflicts with development and historical preservation,” the
