Here’s to the land of the long leaf pine, The summer land where the sun doth shine, Where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great Here’s to “Down Home,” the Old North State!
Blue Ridge Mountains (Blowing Rock)
I grew up in North Carolina. It’s one of my favorite places in the world: beautiful and green.How many other places in the United States can claim mountains, pine forests, and beaches within a few hours’ drive? Many of the state’s cities have amazing art, culture and restaurants without many of the negatives we associate with major metropolitan areas. Here are some of my favorite parts of North Carolina!
