Abstract:
Shifting sand has been a constant force on the Outer Banks for centuries. Keeping the areas' main lifeline, Highway 12 above the sand remains a complicated challenge to those who manage the road. Before paving of the route in the 1950s, automobile traffic for the barrier islands was principally on the sand.

Abstract:
Frank Scibelli opened his first restaurant in Charlotte, Mama Ricotta's, in 1992. When he couldn't find any Mexican food he liked, he opened Cantina 1511, and followed it up with a Tex-Mex--Paco's Tacos & Tequila. For hamburgers he opened Bad Daddy's Burger Bar. When he likes it and can't find it, he builds his own restaurant. Charlotte is not known for traditional barbecue--enter Scibelli and the Midwood Smokehouse. Markovich explains why this is a traditional barbecue place and yet very different.

Abstract:
Joe and Peggy Swicegood have operated Little Pigs BBQ in Asheville for over fifty years. It began as part of the Little Pigs BBQ of America franchises, but by 1967, the chain was bankrupt. However, Joe and Peggy just kept right on going with their restaurant. Generally barbecue was too hard to do in a fast-food restaurant. McDonald's had tried but soon switched to hamburgers. Joe and Peggy had have a successful run, for as Joe says, \"If the food is good, the slaw is tasty, the place is clean, and the people are treated right, they'll come back.\"

Abstract:
The Toe River Valley in Marshall and Yancey counties is a hotbed for the arts. The population of the two counties is around 30,000 and of that number it is estimated that more than 500 are artists--one of the highest concentrations of artists in the world. Markovich states there are two reasons for this--Harvey Littleton and the Penland School of Crafts at Spruce Pine. Littleton, who came to Spruce Pine in 1977, gained recognition first as a ceramist and later as a glassblower and sculptor in glass. Penland, founded in 1929 by Lucy Morgan, has gained world-wide recognition as a destination for artists.

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.\"

Abstract:
After mills closed, jobs left, and in 2004 when the only NASCAR race left at the North Carolina Motor Speedway left, Rockingham, North Carolina seemed to wither. 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.
