Abstract:
Linked with neighboring Chapel Hill, Durham is America's foodiest small town according to Andrew Knowlton in his October 2008 Bon Appetit article. Durham is hardly a small town, evolving into a city right before our eyes. New restaurants in the ambitiously revamped City Center are thriving, filled with a critical mass of hungry customers from nearby tobacco warehouse condos, Bulls games and Durham Performing Arts Center events.

Abstract:
Getting to be a ship's captain is not easy. It takes years of experience at sea; a whole series of promotions along the way, from able-bodied seaman, to mate, then on to master and then captain. At each step, there are manuals to be studied, practicums to be passed and tests to be taken. And then you have to wait for a position to open up. It doesn't sound like a route for the impatient or the uncommitted. But two driven women have succeeded to the rank of ferry boat captains in North Carolina's Navy, despite all the odds.

Abstract:
Nestled in groves of trees, North Carolina's capital city's--Raleigh--expansion is not always visible. But it's there, ranking Raleigh as the fastest-growing city in the United States. From the revitalized downtown to the new office tower Kane is building along the Interstate 440 Beltline; from downtown to Crabtree Valley Mall, Triangle Town Center and the suburban havens of Brier Creek and Wakefield; from center city urban residential growth through the Inner Beltline and on to the Outer Beltline; the remarkable changes in North Carolina's capital are simply breathtaking.\r\nNot just in terms of new buildings, but also in the preservation and modernization of older structures as the city grapples to preserve its historic past with the needs of a growing future. A significant example of Raleigh's growth is centennial campus, a vast high tech mixed use development by NC State University to site campus activities with private research firms and residential options, including a soon-to open Arnold Palmer designed golf course.

Abstract:
When it comes to producing novelists and journalists, North Carolina has always treasured its own. But you would walk for many miles in the august hallways of our great universities before you would hear anyone mention the name of the man who, for 20 years between 1945 and 1965, was the best-known writer the state -- and UNC -- had ever produced: Robert Chester Ruark. Ruark was born in Wilmington in 1915 and graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1935. He became famous first as a newspaperman, then as a feature writer for slick magazines and finally as a best-selling novelist.
