Voices of North Carolina: Lisa

Lisa Cummings, Robeson County

 

How has North Carolina shaped your own story?

"North Carolina became my home in the early 80’s. From Arkansas roots I never expected to come to love North Carolina like I do. From the towering pines to the costal waterways, North Carolina has something for anyone to see and experience. I love North Carolina. My home sweet home."

Tell us something about your town, city, or community.

"Parkton is a small town where folks gather at  the Parkton grill to have coffee together. Just like a scene from Mayberry, folks like to sit on the bleachers while their kids play summer  ball and you will pass churches that welcome you in. Friendliness is our small town motto."

Tell us about someone who made or makes North Carolina what it is—in a positive way.

"I think it’s more than one person. There are so many friendly people in North Carolina who still wave when they see you passing by or give you an encouraging word."
