Abstract:
David Grubbs and Derek Glass started Mindful Supply Co. in Greensboro almost three years ago. What is unique about the company is that everything is done in the US, particularly in North and South Carolina, from growing the cotton, ginning it, spinning it, knitting it, cutting it, and finally cutting and sewing it into a T-shirt. At that point Grubbs and Glass design the artwork and choose the color. From there it goes to Burlington for dyeing and printing. Shirts can be made for an individual or a group.

Abstract:
Bethabara’s community center isn’t a historic building, but a garden that has played a role in the community’s history for over 250 years. Started by the Moravians who founded Bethabara, a community in Winston-Salem, this garden is cited as the only known, well-documented Colonial garden in the United States. Its continuing significance is evident in recent efforts by groups such as archaeologists and Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County to re-establish its original design and restore it to its intended purpose.
