Romantic Rodanthe
Take your sweetie and star in your own love story along the real N.C. coast.
Itinerary
Celebrate autumn with old-time, bluegrass and gospel music, arts and crafts, and "food for the soul," including ham biscuits, collards and cornbread, and barbecue, in Mount Airy.
Your best shots
The N&O's 10th annual travel photo contest is open for business. Until Nov. 3, we'll accept entries in three categories: Scenery, People and North Carolina. Winning entries will be published in the Nov. 30 Arts & Living section.
Traveling solo
A 24-year-old female reader wants to take a trip by herself. She wants to go outside the United States, somewhere relatively safe and with enough to explore but with options for places to go and relax.
World wise
In April, South Carolina's big new attraction, the 55-acre Hard Rock Park, opened in Myrtle Beach. Just five months later, it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, closing for the year.
