You might remember the pie-throwing antics of comedian Soupy Sales, or Shirley Owens of The Shirelles and their top-of-the-charts hit 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,' or maybe Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Eliot Green and his enduring 'Lost Colony,' or perhaps pioneering director Cecil B. DeMille and his 1957 cinema epic 'The Ten Commandments.' They are but a few of the luminaries whose names can be mentioned in the same breath’s as North Carolina’s. They all have roots here and in the past few years wound up on the pages of '27587 Magazine - 'A North Carolina Original,' an award-winning quarterly that takes its name from a zip code in one of the state’s fastest-growing towns, namely the old college town of Wake Forest.'Who needs 90210, when we have 27587,' wrote one of the magazine’s admirers while invoking, tongue-in-cheek, a 1990s television show aligned with Beverly Hills, Calif.Well, they’ve said we’re 'entertaining as well as informative,' so much so that we decided to bring you a selection of some two-dozen of our most beloved stories.Of course, North Carolina’s being a place that since 1993 has been among the Top 10 destination states, there’s no shortage of stories about transplants, captured in such features as 'Native New Yorkers. Not quite in that N.Y. state of mind anymore,' 'From California, here they come,' 'Brits in our midst,' and 'Jersey girls in the Piedmont.' Sprinkle in some stories of a perhaps peculiar nature -- 'Tales of the Tags' and 'Giddy up, cowboy' - and there are plenty of openings to engage our current and future North Carolina neighbors! So, we hope you enjoy your journey through the pages of 'North Carolina Originals.'
