If you grew up, or lived for just a little while, in Wilmington, NC, then you&#8217;ve probably heard the name Hugh Macrae &#8211; at the very least you&#8217;ve been by Hugh Macrae Park for a stroll around the pond once or twice. Hugh Morton, among other things, was an avid photographer. The fine folks at the University of North Carolina&#8217;s library have put together a collection of Mr. Morton&#8217;s photos that you can browse. I had hours of fun looking through the Wilmington photos and trying to locate the same spots on google street view. It is interesting to see how places you&#8217;re so familiar with have changed over the decades. For instance, I have seen a spot on the sidewalk on Front St. that has tile in a pattern that says &#8216;Bijou&#8217;, but there is no building there. If you search through the images presented here, you&#8217;ll indeed find the old Bijou building, and many more that don&#8217;t exist anymore. From a historical standpoint, this collection is a goldmine.<\/p>\n<p>For the main collection, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lib.unc.edu\/dc\/morton\/?CISOROOT=\/morton_highlights\" target=\"_blank\">click here<\/a>.
