This Tiny North Carolina Town Is The Cultural Heart Of One Of America’s Largest Native American Tribes

It is hard for me to square the size of this town with the amount of history packed into it. In southeastern North Carolina, one small community became a center of Lumbee life, with a university founded in 1887 to train Native teachers growing alongside tribal institutions and traditions that still bring thousands of people together.

Two Man Links at Pinehurst: Fathers, Sons, and the Cradle of American Golf

There is a spot on the main campus at Pinehurst where you can stand and see most of American golf history at once. The 18th green of No. 2 is behind you — the one where Payne Stewart holed the putt in 1999. The first tee of No. 4 is a few paces away. Below the clubhouse, The Cradle's nine little holes tumble across the same ground where the first golf at Pinehurst was laid out in 1898. Maniac Hill, one of the game's first practice ranges, stretches out to the side. And in the middle of all of it sits a building that didn't exist two years ago: the Titleist Shop at Pinehurst.

Massive Wilmington music festival will bring five dozen bands downtown

One of Wilmington's biggest annual music festivals is set to return. On Nov. 6-7, the Port City Blitz music festival will bring some five dozen rock bands of various genres to Waterline Brewing beneath the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge downtown. The lineup includes not just local and regional acts, but national and internationally known bands. The Port City Blitz is organized by Wilmington musician Mike Grindstaff, who plays in the band Rocket 77 and started the festival in 2018 at The Barzarre on Castle Street. The Blitz then moved to midtown rock club Reggie's 42nd Street Tavern for a few years before moving to Waterline in 2024. This year marks the biggest Blitz yet, Grindstaff said, with 60 bands (up from 52 last year) over two days on a half-dozen stages. Headliners Veteran North Carolina thrash metal band Corrosion of Conformity, or CoC, is set to headline the Port City Blitz on Saturday, Nov. 7.
