"Urban Renewal - Hayti/Elizabeth St. Project, 04.15.66"

(Note that the Hayti/Elizabeth Street Project covered almost the entirety of the Urban Renewal Area, so it does not necessarily imply that it is Elizabeth or near Elizabeth. Although it might be...)

Two photos spliced together (love when I can make that happen with 40 year old photos.) No label, most photos in the batch are from the late 1960s and early 1970s, most in urban renewal areas.

"East-West Expressway, 01.05.67"

(For those who may wonder, I can't make out the street name on the obelisk, the signs on the houses say only "have a pepsi" (left) and "snack bar" (right).)

Update:

Here is the blow-up of the obelisk - I can't make it out, but perhaps someone out there can interpolate:

The question is, can you tell where the photo is taken from? In the background, left to right:
NC Mutual Bldg
American Tobacco
Austin-Heaton Flour Mill

Probably from the late 1920s...

Mystery Photo - 02.18.10

Probably 1890s, based on dress. James R. Day was a tobacco mfg affiliated with Blackwell's Bull Durham, and I've found a GT Meadows as a tobacco dealer in Durham in the 1890s, but I've found no record of a business called Day and Meadows.
