Learn about the nightclub in High Point that once hosted the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington and the famous short story writer O. Henry's connection to a Greensboro drugstore.

These fascinating true tales featuring towns throughout the region will delight and inform readers of all ages.
