Abstract:
In olden days, a city's main street was a hub of activity, but in the 20th-century much of that activity moved to shopping centers. In many of the state's communities, main street is being revitalized. Many of the old mansions have come back to life as bed and breakfast accommodations. Caldwell describes some located right in the heart of town, including The Inn at Brevard (Brevard); Main Street Inn (Highlands); Main Street Inn (Tarboro).

Abstract:
At one time 1,600 different types of apples grew in North Carolina, but the number declined after the Civil War.

He collects cuttings of old varieties he finds to grow on his land. In the late 1990s, Horne Creek Living Historical Farm near Pinnacle, in collaboration with Calhoun, started planting historical apple trees. The farm is \"the only public collection of historical trees in the nation.\"
