Outer Banks Link Love: 7.13.12 – Happy Friday the 13th!

Outer Banks Link Love

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time to spread some OBX Link Love. But I was a bit derelict in my duties last week with the 4th of July holiday and all, so we have two weeks worth of OBX links to share.

Let’s get down to business!

Missing Mom!
Unfortunately we have to start with some disturbing OBX news this week. A mother of two disappeared last week while on vacation on Hatteras Island. Her boyfriend is a “person of interest” in the case, and he’s also missing. The hunt is on, and prayers are being said that answers are found soon.

RIP Andy Griffith
I promise all the links won’t be sad. The Outer Banks lost a legend last week when Andy Griffith passed away at his home in Manteo. Here’s a great article about Andy from the Outer Banks Voice.

Bike Ride to the OBX…900 miles!

OBX Local Art Show
Dare County Arts Council will debut two new exhibitions for the month of July. Photographers Matt Lusk and Daniel Pullen are featured in “Shooting the Surf” along with recent works by painter Ben Morris. The works will be on display at the DCAC Courthouse Gallery in Manteo until Aug. 1.

Tar Heels & Flying
Here’s a fun article about taking flight in North Carolina, and the OBX plays a key role…thanks Wright Brothers!
