We pay tribute to generations of North Carolina soldiers whose sacrifices have allowed all of us to live free and peacefully: “Leaving behind the farmland of Stokes and Randolph counties, the fields of Four Oaks, civilian life in Raleigh, and school in Chapel Hill and Lumberton, Tar Heel men and women quietly left their homes for the battlefield. They carried fragments of home and memories of friends and family.”
To commemorate our 90th anniversary, we’ve compiled a time line that highlights the stories, contributors, and themes that have shaped this magazine — and your view of the Old North State — using nine decades of our own words.
From its northernmost point in Corolla to its southern terminus on Cedar Island, this scenic byway — bound between sound and sea — links the islands and communities of the Outer Banks.
Us? An icon? Well, after 90 years and more than 2,000 issues celebrating North Carolina from mountains to coast, we hope you’ll agree that we’ve earned the title.
After nearly a century — or just a couple of years — these seafood restaurants have become coastal icons, the places we know, love, and return to again and again.
