I'm a North Carolina expat who came across your newsletter at a time my wife and I were considering relocating our family to North Carolina. That unfortunately may not be in the cards for us anymore (though we never say never), but your newsletter helps us feel like we're still close to a play that's special to us. The serious, the weird, the historical, all the stories add up to what makes North Carolina the special place it is. Congratulations on 4 years, thank you, and keep up the great work!

Hurray! Congratulations on four years. I love the Rabbit Hole. Its NC focus is what makes it interesting and one of the few newsletters I subscribe to that I read every issue all the way through. For me it's your insatiable curiosity combined with a journalists' ability to get the answers that make it such a great read. I also like how you aren't afraid to tackle any topic no matter how big or how small. I like to call it NC ephemera.

I'm still laughing over the TikTok's of the people who fell for the clip of Switzerland being Gastonia, NC 🤣

Lastly I'm putting in a plug here for people to become paid subscribers. If you like the newsletter, you'll like getting even more of it and helping support Jeremy. It's under $7 a month and worth every penny.

I'm a native to NC, born in eastern NC, lived in High Point for 8 years and lived in Raleigh area for the last 30. I love your newsletter and reporting. Even though I've live in NC all my life, I still enjoy learning about our state from your interesting articles. Keep up the great work!

I've lived in NC nearly all my life and I'm curious about how towns got their names. Some are obvious (Raleigh, Charlotte, et. al.), some have multiple origin stories and some are just weird. How about some stories on this topic?

As a Washingtonian who married a tall, dark, and handsome guy from NC, I appreciate your take on my adopted home state. Keep it up, friend! And maybe you can one of these days add back the podcast--I've listened to every last episode of the Away Message, it's that good.

Blessings, Jeremy!

Why the Hole isn't syndicated nationally, I do not know. This is some of the best serio-comic writing to come out of the South since Lewis Grizzard. Just keep doin' what you're doin', buck-o!

I spent several years in New Bern, NC and now reside in FL. Love your stories about the state, cities, and people and things. Brings back memories, and thoughts of places that I never got to. Your stories are always interesting, and many times, really make me think. Happy 4th Birthday. I look forward to continuing to read you.
