Abstract:
Photographer Emily Chaplin describes the DuPont State Forest. In the 1950s, the DuPont Corporation, a massive chemical company, bought 7,000 acres to build a plant in the southwestern part of the state. Years later the plant closed and the company sold the land to the state for a park. It has over eighty miles of trails, plus rivers with waterfalls and a lake at the forest center. Additional purchases have increased the park's size to 10,400 acres.

During the Great Depression, the federal government purchased unused farmland in the Piedmont region. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy named this land the Uwharrie National Forest. It occupies parts of Montgomery, Randolph, and Davidson counties, and it is one of the nation's smallest national forest. It contains a mountain range older than the Rockies or Appalachians and lakes. Perry describes the forest and the people who live in and around it.

Abstract:
Frank Scibelli opened his first restaurant in Charlotte, Mama Ricotta's, in 1992. When he couldn't find any Mexican food he liked, he opened Cantina 1511, and followed it up with a Tex-Mex--Paco's Tacos & Tequila. For hamburgers he opened Bad Daddy's Burger Bar. When he likes it and can't find it, he builds his own restaurant. Charlotte is not known for traditional barbecue--enter Scibelli and the Midwood Smokehouse. Markovich explains why this is a traditional barbecue place and yet very different.

Abstract:
The Toe River Valley in Marshall and Yancey counties is a hotbed for the arts. The population of the two counties is around 30,000 and of that number it is estimated that more than 500 are artists--one of the highest concentrations of artists in the world. Markovich states there are two reasons for this--Harvey Littleton and the Penland School of Crafts at Spruce Pine. Littleton, who came to Spruce Pine in 1977, gained recognition first as a ceramist and later as a glassblower and sculptor in glass. Penland, founded in 1929 by Lucy Morgan, has gained world-wide recognition as a destination for artists.

Abstract:
Miller Pope never planned to own a beach resort. During the war he was an illustrator for the Marine's magazine, Leatherneck. After the war he went to New York and did illustrations for Seventeen and Glamour magazines. Later he had an office on Madison Avenue and was drawing for Time, Life, and Reader's Digest. In the 1950s the family vacationed at numerous beaches looking for a place until one day they came to Ocean Isle and decided \"This is it.\" DeGregory recounts how the Winds Resort Beach Club at Ocean Isle began.

Abstract:
Markovich describes the services of the Blockade Runner, an independent beach resort at Wrightsville Beach. This year marks fifty years of providing service to beach goers who just want to relax. The Seashore Hotel opened on the site in 1897 and burned in 1918. It was followed by the Ocean Terrace which was battered by Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and then burned down the following year. The Blockade Runner was built there in 1964, a group of doctors bought it in 1971, and in 1984 the daughter of one of them, Mary Baggett, took over running the place.

Abstract:
Jimmy Pope bought the 22-room Golden Sands Motel at Carolina Beach in 1981. The Center Pier then stretched from the motel over the beach and out into the ocean. In 1996, Hurricane Fran took the pier away right down to the shoreline. Pope built a restaurant and tiki bar on the part of the remaining pier while he continued to expand his motel to 113 rooms. Over the years his interests moved away from the pier and he now leases it to Dave and Abbie Sinclair who operate it from February till cold weather arrives. Now called the Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar, the pier has become a center for beach music band playing.
