Abstract:
For fifty years on Charlotte's Elizabeth Street, Jimmie's Restaurant, operated by Jimmie Pourlous, was an institution. In 2002, when Central Piedmont Community College purchased the building where the restaurant was located, Pourlous and his family faced the decision of moving or retiring. His sons Chris and George had worked in the restaurant all their lives. They planned a new restaurant, and in 2004, the new Jimmie's Restaurant opened in Mint Hill just thirteen miles away from the original. Timblin recounts the history of the restaurant and compares the old one with the new one.

Abstract:
In August 2001, the Charles A. Cannon Memorial Hospital in Linville became the first hospital in North Carolina to be recognized as a Planetree, or patient-centered care, institution. The Avery County hospital came into being in 1995 through consolidation of two historic mountain hospitals -- Sloop Memorial Hospital at Crossnore and Cannon Memorial Hospital at Banner Elk. Medical pioneers at these hospitals began the practice of patient-centered care in the early 20th-century, and 100 years later their legacy continues at the new hospital.

Abstract:
Without the efforts of Sally Phifer Williamson, Concord's Memorial Garden might have been lost. In 1930, she discovered the three-acre garden, originally the First Presbyterian Church's graveyard, in a terrible state of disrepair. Williamson had the area cleaned up before her death in 1937. Her son watched over the garden for the next twenty-nine years and left a one-million-dollar endowment for its upkeep. There are over 300 graves there amid 16,000 tulips and 120 varieties of azaleas.
