Abstract:
Albemarle, the county seat of Stanly County, is OUR STATE magazine's featured Tar Heel town of the month. The residents of the town take pride in preserving the town's historic buildings, such as transforming the crumbling, turn-of-the-century drugstore into the Boardroom Bar and Bistro. Prunkl takes the reader on a tour of the town, including the Pee Dee Avenue Historic District, Albemarle Music Store, Whispering Pines BBQ, and the Badin Road Drive-in Theatre.
