Small drain in Fayetteville, NC

This isn't the most exciting find in the world, but I love seeing older drains and I figured others may like them as well!
I took a brief trip to NC to visit my grandparents a few months back, and couldn't resist a little urbex on my trip. From what I was able to find, most of the drains in Fayetteville are pretty small, but I did take a brief dive inside the biggest one I could find, and I wasn't too disappointed!

First off, the entrance was pretty beautiful. It sat in the middle of a small neighborhood park, starting a small creek which entered a small infall at the other end of the park (I was tempted to investigate this infall as well, but it was pretty tiny and there looked to be a lot of spiderwebs– as I'm not familiar with the dangers of North Carolina's insects and snakes, I opted for a rain check on that one).

The RCP you see in the photo was pretty short, passing underneath a grate in the street and leading into a small, red brick junction chamber.

Though the drain wasn't entirely brick, I was nonetheless thrilled to encounter my first brick drain! I've always thought they were incredibly beautiful. With the exception of some newer RCP additions, I'm pretty sure most of the drains in Fayetteville are this way.

I ventured down the one RCP leading out from this chamber in which I didn't have to crawl– this one also went on only a short ways before it opened up into a brick manhole chamber. Unfortunately any of the other pipes would have been crawling sized, which I wasn't up for on this day, so this was the end of my very short adventure. Nonetheless, I'm pleased that I was able to see my first brick drain features– hopefully many more to come in the future!

Right? If I ever go back there I'm definitely planning to attempt to find some bigger drains, I would love to see some bigger brick ones.. I live near a city now with some pretty astounding brick drains, definitely want to take a weekend to go up and explore there.
