    That is a very pretty spire! Not too many modern builds go to that level of detail.
    Now, as to plates:

    #3 - your's is as good a guess as any. Couldn't find anything that made sense on a search.
    #4 - that is also the acronym of the South Australian Veterinary Emergency Medicine unit... but I guess NC makes more sense over your way!
    #7 - Caroland is a surname of Irish origin so it could just be that.
    #9 - There is a strongly advertised arms shop in Arkansas - Olson's Gun Shop. Where was the plate from?
    #10 - I could only find legal and scientific use of this in references sections...
    #12 - this appears just to be a straight-out name (female)
    #14 - "Drybar is a California-based chain of salons that solely provides a hair styling service known as blowouts. The company was founded in 2008 by Alli Webb." (according to wiki)

    You may not have elaborated on number fourteen because folks in the USA must know it already. Those of us outside, though, might have thought they were teetotallers. Maybe they are that too! YAM xx

  8. We love the idea of bringing yesterday’s architecture into today. Some classic designs should never be forgotten.

  9. It does look a lot like a few of our local church buildings.

    Sorry we haven't seen any funny plates lately. But then, GW hasn't been driving around much the last several weeks.

  12. The thing I miss most in new modern churches is the bell tower. For me it's not a proper church without it.
