The Lure of Small Southern Towns FINDING A PLACE WITH A GENTLER WAY OF LIFE by Gerald W. Sweitzer and Kathy M. Fields Over the past half-century, the South has become a destination for many Americans seeking a good climate, a more relaxed lifestyle, and new vocational and recreational opportunities. The region’s relatively low cost of living, diverse geography, and reputation for the finest of Southern traditions—warm hospitality, old-fashioned manners, a friendly style, and a slower pace—have attracted people of all ages and income groups. The influx of newcomers is changing the look of the South, spurring not only industrial growth and economic expansion, but also opening up new cultural horizons. In the 1990s, a new trend emerged: a significant number of city dwellers moved from large cities to small cities and towns. In a press release dated June 30, 1999, the U.S. Census Bureau reported, “Smaller cities with populations between 10,000 and 50,000 grew at a faster rate than their larger counterparts....Cities with populations between 10,000 and 50,000 grew faster (8.6 percent) than any other category.” In 1997 Time magazine featured a major article entitled “Why More Americans Are Fleeing to Small Towns.” A 1997 study entitled “Futurescapes: Redefining Strategies for the 21st Century,” by ActivMedia Research LLC, predicted that during the twenty-first century global networking will send Americans out of cities and into the hinterlands, a direct reversal of the last century’s flow from farm to city.

Click here to view PDF version Executive Summary Childhood is a holistic process, different for each individual child. Many children do not learn effectively exclusively within a classroom. They need alternative, hands-on learning environments to match their varied learning styles. Test-driven education mandates often do not emphasize children's emotional and social needs and opportunities for creativity. This limits the develop-ment of unique talents and the fulfillment of individual lives, and deprives society of practical, problem-solving intelligence. City parks, greenways, and naturalized school grounds can be a crucial antidote to these unhealthy trends. They can motivate young people to learn through the natural environment (which includes learning about the natural environment), bringing environmental education into the mainstream of state-mandated instructional programs. The informal learning, non-formal programs, and formal instruction associated with parks can reinforce each other, enhancing academic achievement. Key Point #1 City parks offer children the daily benefits of direct experience with naturethe motivation to explore, discover, and learn about their world and to engage in health-promoting, physical activity.

Once a major tobacco and textile center, Durham is a research and education center. Manufacturers include medical, computer, electronic, and telecommunications equipment; plastic, paper, and lumber products; and aircraft components. The area was settled c.1750. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered nearby to Gen. William T. Sherman during the Civil War. After the war the tobacco industry began with James B. Duke as the leading manufacturer. Economic growth was spurred with the establishment (1959) of the Research Triangle Park , in the triangular area between Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh, which utilizes the concentration of university research talent in those three cities. Durham is the seat of Duke Univ., North Carolina Central Univ., and Durham Technical Community College. Of interest are the Sarah P. Duke Memorial Gardens and the Children's Nature Museum.

The present inability of agencies to easily and quickly find, view and share data during and after disaster events, however, remains a critical issue. This project will launch a statewide initiative of enhanced web based data sharing for disaster management. OpenGIS Web Map Server Interface protocols will be installed and tested at eight government agencies using a set of flood scenarios and three framework data themes: digital orthophotography, cadastral, and hydrography. The project lays the foundation for a future when everyone will have 24-hour access to reliable, accurate and documented geospatial data that are produced and maintained by multiple custodians.
