Visiting
Ashville:
Ahh. . . Asheville. Often touted as the darling of the Blue Ridge and as home to the
largest residence in the U.S. (George Vanderbilt’s Biltmore Estate), Western North
Carolina’s sweet spot is more than the things it’s known for.
Visiting
Charlotte:
Most visitors venture to the Queen City of the South as business travelers. Whether you're
here on business or passing through on your way up or down the East Coast, the shopping
and sports make stopovers special.
Visiting
Raleigh-Durham:
The Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill area of North Carolina, dubbed the Triangle, is a
hotbed of education, sports, government and business. And while it features several

North Carolina at a Glance
Asheville
at a Glance:
Asheville’s location in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains makes a car a must. So
much to see and do surrounds the city that being without wheels can be frustrating. But,
once you’ve reached your destination, be it Biltmore House or the in-town area full
of galleries and specialty shops, expect to do a lot of walking.
Charlotte
at a Glance:
Visitors may opt to visit this Southern city during the fall when the leaves are changing
through North Carolina. However, spring is a great time to visit as well, given travellers
can head to both the beach and the mountains. The weather is pleasant and mild during the
spring and stays nice through October.
Raleigh-Durham
at a Glance:
The mild climate makes the area a pleasant year-round destination, although with NC State,
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University and other smaller schools
in the area it can be difficult to get a room during the graduation season.

To
B&B or Not to B&B: by Diane Goldberg.
When you're drooling over web pages purveying Jacuzzis built for two, it is easy to assume

right. But bed and breakfast inns have a lot to offer the business traveller.
Articles About Bald Head Island, North Carolina
The
Dunes of Bald Head Island: by Mary Mihaly.
Like a broken bracelet of sandy beads carelessly tossed, North Carolina's barrier chain of
islands meets the sea with elegant defiance. At their southernmost tip lies Bald Head
Island, semitropical and welcoming, a fragile strip of land so skinny that visitors can
watch the sun both rise and set over the Atlantic from the same front porch.
Articles About Blowing Rock, North Carolina
A
Day in the Life of Blowing Rock: by Jan McDaniel.
Adopted hometown of popular Mitford series author Jan Karon, Blowing Rock consists of a

Island - Naturally: by Dan Bell.
If the name 'Pleasure Island' draws visions in your head of white-sand beaches warmed by

Lighthouse Moves Home: by Dale Kiefer.
