The Links in this post have been updated.
I’ve been enjoying the Old North State series from the News & Observer. Using the WPA guide to North Carolina as a springboard, writers check in on rural areas of the state, from Fort Landing to Little Switzerland. It’s great to see a series like this as the local paper struggles to stay relevant.

The N&O link is broken…any idea if the content is still on their site somewhere?
HI, we just fixed that link. Thanks!
It looks like the N&O has redesigned their site–I still can’t find where they’ve hid that wonderful series of articles. If you search on “old north state” on their site you can at least find the photo galleries.
