Just did an hour-long call-in podcast episode about this for North Carolina place names and people just keep emailing me and @benmcneely.bsky.social to tell us about ones we forgot www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlJP...
Here’s me and @benmcneely.bsky.social awarding points to you all, based on how badly some of you mangled the pronunciations of beloved North Carolina place names youtu.be/VlJP10tvwgk?...
It’s a unique … thing
Is Bluesky is still a thing? I got off the short-time socials a long time ago. But if it’s still cool around here, I’ll be happy to come back.
It’s happening!

OTD: in 1986 Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home premiered. I was 4 years old, and already a Trek fan from watching the Animated Series on Nickelodeon. This movie solidified my fandom. 🖖❤️🖖 youtu.be/hShY6xZWVGE?...

Intrepid reporter @emilyvespa.bsky.social doing work on such an underreported issue: Human trafficking. The bastards are targeting vulnerable people in WNC in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Fantastic work by Emily for NC Health News!

Good morning from Barry’s Café in Cary, NC! Sometimes you need a good, hearty diner breakfast to get you going!

Reese McHenry was the heart and soul of the Triangle music scene. Her heart was as big as her voice. My brother was her drummer in her backing band, and, oh man, the stories! She now belongs to the winds, but always in our hearts. ❤️
