But an old racer bought the empty track at auction in 2007 and now the Rockingham Speedway combines the nostalgia of old NASCAR days with the modernity of the new NASCAR.

Abstract:
In 1987, the Charlotte Hornets were introduced by Kannapolis resident George Shinn. The Hornets were well received and loved by the city until 1999 when Shinn's controversies set unwanted light on the team. Shinn moved his team to New Orleans in 2012 and investment in the Charlotte Bobcats has been difficult. To add fuel to the fire is the worst season in NBA history, and now, a group of fans is calling for the Charlotte Bobcats to return to their original name of Charlotte Hornets.

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:
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.\"
