Place of interest: November 2013 Google Street View imagery of West Drive in Atlantic Beach, N.C. An additional CIDP & two Washingtonia. Unfortunately, all three palms appear to have died after the January 2018 freeze.

CIDP in Irmo, SC! Very close to Lake Murray, so a very nice micro-climate, but it has been there for many years and has even survived the last two winters, which were especially harsh.

This is almost Raleigh. Quite insane to see a Washingtonia in Clayton. I wonder how long it’s been there or how many more years it has left before the cold kills it.

Not sure if anyone mentioned these Washies in Kure Beach, NC.
