When we first moved to Chapel Hill 11 years ago, I recall shortly after our arrival the opening of a little shop in Chapel Hill selling homemade pasta. It was a young couple with two parents from Italy, one still working in the business and the other deceased. They had a shop in Wilmington too. They disappeared one day.
Here in France, there was a full page story in the local newspaper a few days ago about a 75 year old man here still making pasta by hand, actually not all that unusual.
How different are our two places in valuing stuff like this. Who makes homemade pasta for retail in NC? And what are the forces at work here that begin to make the older man's story more unusual?
