Abstract:

Situated on the other side of the Appalachian Mountains, is Knoxville, Tennessee, a five-hour drive from the Triangle. The city is suffused with country music history, and in some ways, is similar to Durham in that it was a once-bustling Southern industrial hub that remains on the rebound.

Abstract:

Richmond, Virginia is a charming southern city to visit, and just a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Durham, North Carolina. Like Raleigh, Richmond has the same downtown revitalization happening, with new breweries, art galleries, and shops. It also used to be the seat of the Confederacy, so the city has an old, interesting history.

Abstract:

Asheville's new and unusual visitor attraction, the Colburn Mineral Museum, was started with the collection of the late Burnham S. Colburn totaling over 500 pieces. Now housing more than 2,000 minerals, the collection features many stones native to North Carolina, including Hiddenite, a rare mineral found only in Alexandria County. Among the oddities of stones is a piece of flexible sandstone able to bend at an angle.

Abstract:

In 1954, passports were issued to 5,642 North Carolinians, which is an increase of over 300 percent of foreign travel over the last five years. And according to the World Travel Service of Charlotte, the sort of North Carolinian that is traveling is the housewife. The easing of world tensions, travel restrictions in many countries, increased cross-Atlantic sailings and flights, and the urge to see the world are all prompting North Carolinians to travel abroad.
