Abstract:
Hurricane Hazel hit eastern North Carolina in October 1954. Rocky Mount native Phyllis Casper recalls her Hazel experience. She and her husband prepared for the worst when hearing of Hazel's approach. Many, including her Aunt Lossie, did not. Schools opened that day, but soon local radio stations told parents to pick up their children. Waiting out the storm in her house, Casper read comic books. Following the storm, residents ventured outside to find a wake of destruction with fallen trees and damaged homes.

How to improve the iconic boardwalk, destroyed twice by hurricanes and once by a fire, has been a problem inspiring many possible solutions since the 1940s. Over the decades, the issue has continued to be on any city election platform and inspired the creation of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk Preservation Association. The author infers the oft-asked question “what do we do about the boardwalk?” needs answering, since the boardwalk built in 1930 is as much a part of a Carolina Beach summer as the beach.

Abstract:
The house originally owned by Sarah Green Jones and Pembroke Jones and its gardens have served many purposes for former owners and the community. It has weathered storms, entertained locals, hosted the Azalea Festival, and provided healing for the battle-scarred youngest son of the Corbett family, who moved in the house in 1948. Though the house is gone, its gardens is very much present. Now a popular visitation spot for people of all ages, Airlie Gardens offers live music, bird walks, and educational programs for schoolchildren throughout the year.
