Abstract:
In visiting a new area, people often ask about the location of good restaurant fare and entertainment, eliciting the response from most locals that there is little good to eat or fun attractions. The fiction that high-priced eating places will draw immense local crowds persists, and continues to trap enthusiastic people into making foolish investments. Drawing on the local restaurant fare and available leisure activities, a list of fine motels, outdoor dramas, and travel improvements aid the local and tourist alike in finding acceptable alternatives in North Carolina.
