Ready to come home for Christmas? Our State editor — and resident soundtrack maker — Mark Kemp curated this selection of 30 holiday songs by North Carolina artists, including James Taylor, Roberta Flack, Nina Simone, Charlie Daniels, John Coltrane, and many more. It’s the perfect Christmas party playlist, background music for your holiday baking, and accompanying soundtrack to a drive through twinkling lights.
For 127 years, this Wilson County store has been keeping its community well supplied — by relying on people just as much as what’s on the shelves.
In art class, we learn to notice texture, form, color, and light. On the plate, those same techniques guide chefs, bakers, and makers across North Carolina, turning ingredients into compositions meant to be admired before they’re savored.

Explore hidden gardens and tasty places to eat and drink in Charlotte’s historic neighborhood.
