Abstract:

The Deep River Coal Field near Sanford is the only major coal mining site in the state and scene of the worst mining disaster. On May 27, 1925, 53 miners were killed. Mined since 1775, tragedy and failure have limited the amount of coal recovered.

Abstract:

Almost 30,000 people now work in the two million square feet of office space built along the I-40 corridor in Raleigh. The buildings, however, still have high vacancy rates as the city tries to attract business. Some people consider the I-40 corridor as the new main street in Raleigh, while others maintain that Fayetteville Street has and always will be the main street. Both areas, however, have much to offer the city by way of access to state capital business and finance.
