The Carolina Connoisseur

Our co-founder Allan Maurer recently became senior editor at North Carolina Magazine, a publication of the North Carolina Citizens for Business and Industry (NCCBI).

Published monthly since 1943, North Carolina Magazine explores issues in business management, politics, state government, international trade, finance, and economic growth. It's read each month by some 50,000 business, political and educational leaders across the state. We wish Allan all the best at his new position.

Our other co-founder Renee Wright is also on board at North Carolina Magazine as Travel Editor. You'll find her articles on travel options throughout the state archived on its website.

Jolly Roger.com is one of our favorite North Carolina-based sites. It's about classic literature, poetry, music, and lighthouses. You can find literary friends, penpals, and greeting cards, not to mention a modern Ahab who searched for a girl who answered "Moby Dick," when asked to name her favorite book:
