Sunset Beach is celebrating its 50th year. Miller describes the attractions of the beach, one being that the three-mile stretch of Sunset's sand, unlike other beach communities, has never had to resort to pumping sand to replenish it. The place began as a low-key, residential community planned by its founder, Mannon C. Gore, and it has pretty much remained that way. No structure can be higher than two stories.

Miller describes a fiber-optic cable network that's going up across the state to bring \"the network to the unserved and underserved.\"

The Dunstan chestnut is a cross between an American chestnut and a blight-resistant Chinese chestnut. The nuts have a sweet taste, especially when roasted over a charcoal fire. A small number of orchardists in the state are trying to interest people in the nuts which are high in carbohydrates and much lower in oil than many other nuts.

Others counties like Brunswick and the outer Banks soon followed.
