Abstract:
Carolina Beach has a special piece of history. The town incorporated in 1925; five years later it built a boardwalk. It's not like other boardwalks with shops and food eateries. This one now sits atop a sand dune with the town on one side and the ocean on the other. It burned in 1940 and the town built it back. A hurricane got it in 1944, and in 1954, Hazel destroyed it along with 350 town buildings. It was rebuilt both times. The question always is \"What do we do about the boardwalk?\" But it always comes back and it always remains \"the boardwalk.\"

Abstract:
A grand estate known as the Whalehead Club stands along Currituck Sound in the shadow of Corolla Lighthouse. The article describes the history of this notable home from its inception to its current use. Built by railroad tycoon, Edward Collings Knight Jr. and his second wife Marie-Louise Josephine LeBel, who was wealthy in her own right, it reportedly cost $383,000, about $4.3 million in today's money. The house was completed in 1925. The extravagant home, located in a remote area, has ties with local fishing and fowl hunting industries.

Abstract:
Lying within Mitchell, Yancey, and Avery counties is an area known as Spruce Pine Mining District, \"a 25-mile-long swath of mineral-rich land\" containing emeralds, rubies, sapphires, garnet, kaolin, quartz, mica, and feldspar. Mining in this Appalachian land dates back over 2,000 years to the time when Native Americans were tunneling up to one feet to get mica. Mims recounts the history of mining operations there.
