Abstract:
Leggett presents her Top 10 list of people who are preserving the culture and sense of place that years from now will allow people to say \"I'm from Down East,\" and have it mean something. Included are Mamie's Drive-in in Laurel Hill, Pete Jones Eastern-style barbecue in Ayden, and Ashley Futrell and Hoover Adams, who continue the tradition of the locally owned, rural newspaper in Little Washington and in Dunn.
