Your Friday Video Link: North Carolina In the 1950's


Your Friday Video Link is a history lesson.

Today's video is from the 1950's, a film featurette extolling the virtues of life here in North Carolina, from the mountains to the coast.  



How much of any of this is applicable? 

  • Tobacco is still a thing but not so much as it was in the 1950's.
  • Cotton was big then but now it's not.
  • Hey, ladies! That nylon hose is mostly made in Mexico now for a diminishing market.  

Times change but North Carolina remains a state with...

  • Mountains on one end
  • Beaches on the other end 
  • And in the middle... other... stuff. 

I live in the part with the other... stuff.

All praise to North Carolina!
