Bill Leslie's Carolina Conversations

"People are always asking me where to take vacation. What’s a cool place? What’s the most scenic drive?" WRAL News Anchor Bill Leslie attempts to answer those questions and others in his Carolina Conversations blog.

Slice of Life

I’d like to start a series here on Carolina Conversations called Slice of Life.

We’ll highlight any towns across North Carolina that you’d like. We’ll ask our bloggers to share their thoughts on those towns. What are the best things about these places? If you visit there what must you do to get a true taste of the community? What are the best restaurants? What are the top attractions? Who are the movers and shakers in town? Who are the town characters? What is the most interesting bit of history about the town that a lot of people may not know?

Okay. Let’s get started. What towns would you like to profile next week? I will offer what I know about the towns and let you fill in the gaps. I think we will all have fun getting to know our towns a little better.

Saxapahaw...my mother grew up in this former mill town.

Clayton..it is one of NC's fastest growing towns

Louisburg!

Highlands....love it but know little about it!!

Go alphabetically Ahoskie, Brevard, Concord, Durham,....

We'd like a look at Hickory.

One of my favorites - Pinehurst. Historic in many ways, interesting place to visit, nationally recognized . . .

Zebulon. Named for whom ? Connection to which President? Home of McLean's Family restaurant and the famous Kannon's hot dogs(now closed):( The Home of Friendly People!

Southport, home of Lois Janes B&B, the Pharmacy Restaurant, and lots of historic homes. A very quaint town on the Cape Fear River.

Brevard - beautiful mountain town in all seasons of the year.
