Abstract:
Newer beach homes along the Outer Banks are incredibly large and luxurious and can often block the view of the ocean. By comparison, houses built in the late 19th-century look like poor relations; yet many of the old-timers still stand, while newer models have fallen victim to storms. Architect Frank Harmon discusses the \"how to\" and \"how not to\" when constructing a modern-day beach home.

In the Research Triangle Metropolitan Area they are returning. The Carrboro Farmers Market opened in 1979; in 1991, the State Farmers Market moved to a larger building; and in 1999, the Durham Farmers Market opened.

Abstract:
New schools buildings have evolved along with urban sprawl, adopting a shopping mall format of a large building, over a thousand students, and a large parking lot, all sitting on forty acres. Educators and parents feel such schools have a different effect on students than smaller neighborhood ones. Harmon contrasts Raleigh's Underwood School, built in 1926 on Glenwood Avenue, with McDougle School, built in 1996 near Carrboro.

Abstract:
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Coker Arboretum, begun in 1903 by William C. Coker, the first faculty member in the botany department, is a model of what cities like Raleigh and Durham need - civic open spaces. Although only five acres, it is a place that draws people together.
