Abstract:
Thad Eure, Jr. and Charles Winston opened the Angus Barn in Raleigh on June 28, 1960. They built their restaurant to look like a big red barn, a structure which burned four years later.

Abstract:
When their stockbroker jobs soured, Jenny Fulton and Ashlee Furr decided on a career in pickle-making, an area they had little, if any, experience in.

Now three years later the pickles are sold in 500 stores, including Harris Teeter Supermarkets and some 40 in China, with plans to move into other countries.

Lawrence describes Echo Mountain Recording LLC, which is located in a former Methodist Church in Asheville.

The Avett Brothers recorded The Carpenter, their Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album, at Echo Mountain.

Abstract:
North Carolina hasn't had a legal liquor-maker since 1909 when it banned making, selling, and distributing alcoholic beverages. That ended in 2005 when Piedmont Distillers opened in Rockingham County. Asheville Distillers, after getting all the necessary state and federal papers approved, opened in 2010. It is operated by Troy and Charlie Ball; she is one of four women nationwide who owns a distillery. The company shipped 5,000 cases in its first year and will double that in 2013.

In 1976 in Mayodan Charles Sutherland III's grandfather ran a division of Madison Throwing Co. that developed an oil that made large spinning machines spin with ease. The only drawback was that it gummed up the machines. With a little research, his son Charles Jr., and his son's brother-in-law Ron Joyce, developed a product to clean away the lint and grime. Martin recounts the growth of the product, now known as Charlie's Soap.
