Here, at last, is a single source of essential information about North Carolina that will enlighten and entertain newcomers and natives alike.

From our history to our celebrities...our favorite foods to our most beautiful spots...our politics to our economy...our favorite sports to our literature...all of this and much, much more can be found within these pages.

Here, not only can you find vital information about the taxes you'll have to pay, about registering and driving your motor vehicles, and sending your children to school, you also can learn about our state and national parks, our most popular tourist attractions, our historic sites, our arts and foods festivals.

Not only can you read about our cities and counties, our rivers and lakes, our major businesses and institutions of higher learning, you can also inform yourself about our biggest crimes, our major disasters, our favorite folk tales and legends.

You can even get pointers on understanding the unusual native dialects you're apt to encounter within our borders. And you can find all of our official symbols and our complete state toast.

So here's to the blest land, the best land, the Old North State!
