Abstract:
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, the need for jobs was critical. Wilmington responded to the need by building the Community Drive, now known as Lake Shore Drive. This Depression-era project to build a five-mile road around Greenfield Lake and park in the downtown area created jobs for hundreds of men. Work began on November 24, 1930, and ended eighteen months later. The project funding was unique. Local residents who were fortunate enough to have retained their jobs agreed to fund the project through their own paychecks. Participants gave one day's salary every month. Over $110,000 was raised.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores has been closed to the public for nearly three years. During that time, the $25 million expansion has tripled its space and increased the full-time staff from fourteen to forty. The planned date for reopening is May 19, 2006. During the closure, many of the animals were given away or loaned to other aquariums, science centers, and teaching facilities. The aquarium will be stocked with 3,000 aquatic animals, including jellyfish, river otters, tiger sharks, sea nettles, and triggerfish. A highlight of the Living Shipwreck exhibit will be a replica of the German submarine U-352, which was sunk off North Carolina in 1942 by the U.S. Coast Guard cutter ICARUS.

Abstract:
The skipjack ADA MAE was built by Captain Ralph Hodges in Rose Bay, Hyde County, in 1915. Skipjacks, or two-sail bateaus, were dredge boats that supported the state's oyster industry. The ADA MAE is believed to be the only remaining skipjack built in North Carolina. It was found in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1994, by an East Carolina University graduate student who was working on a research project in Maryland. The ADA MAE is moored at Washington, North Carolina, where restoration work is being completed. It will be used there as a classroom to teach students about the oyster industry in the state.

Recipients include potters, a boat builder, glass and wood artists, musical instrument makers, and a gunsmith.

Abstract:
Lee discusses El's Drive-In, a tiny mom-and-pop restaurant and an institution in Morehead City since 1954. The restaurant is small, being a mere 20-by-40 feet, and there are no talk-boxes to call in your order. Waitresses come out to the car just as they have done for fifty years. The business was founded by Elvin and Helen Franks and has made its mark on the city with its extra-thick superburgers and the famous shrimpburger.
