Lane's Family Bar-B-Q: Open Sunday night

Helpfulness
The restaurant has a small wine & beer retail shop in the waiting area that carries a variety of imported beers. We didn't sample any of their wares, but we walked through the area on the way to the bathroom

Helpfulness
In my home area, we have overlapping area codes, so we have to dial the area code plus the phone number all the time.
However in other areas, even in quite big cities, I find that the area code is not necessary.
Usually if you dial the number with the area code, the call will go through whether you need it or not. If you don't dial the area code and it is needed, it would not go through.
However when I asked the hotel clerk whether my local access number in Elizabeth City was long distance she said no, but forgot to warn me that if I dialed the AC, the switchboard would charge as if it was REALLY a long distance call.
I ended up with 48 minutes of internet time that cost $180.

Helpfulness
We had read about Edenton's free docks - similar to Elizabeth City's free docks, but without the Rose Buddy's and with electricity. So when we were on our way down to visit our son for Thanksgiving by car, we checked them out and we also wanted to see if we could get under the bridge that's over the Albemarle sound and to the Edenton slips.
Edenton has 5 or 10 free slips at the municipal docks for cruising boats - it is right downtown near the police station and the playground (photo 2) (with bathrooms) in the waterfront park. Picnic tables are also available in the park.
Equipment: After 2 free nights, dockage is $1/ft, electricity is $3 and pumpout is $5.
I have been warned that although the town docks have a breakwater, it only blocks short chop. It doesn't prevent slightly longer waves from entering the marina area, which appear to flow almost unimpeded under the breakwater. The result is a lot of rocking in the marina, because the fetch from the south is long.
