The March edition of "Our State"magazine has two different articles on Mt.Airy.The first article is a four page spread about The White Sulphur Springs Hotel,a grand ,late-19th-century resort that once stood in Surry County that boasted of,among other things,a mineral spring --billed as "a very fountain of health"--that was guaranteed to cure whatever ailed you.There are several accompanying photos of the hotel. The second article deals with the 70 greatest places to eat when you're on the go in North Carolina. Mt.Airy has three of the top 70 vittles joints.In no particular order we have "Speedy Chef","The Dairy Center",and lastly,the world renowned "Snappy Lunch". As a sidenote,"The Squeeze Box" in nearby Pilot Mountain was mentioned. Your local news stand/grocery store should carry a copy.In a few days,the article should be available for viewing at ourstate.com.
