Uncommon Town: Toast, North Carolina Hello am writing about toast is a good place to like the town because is a good town . The weather is good in the day but in the night is cold because dears some wind and it rains.

The toast is sometimes referred to as "The Tar Heel Toast" but there is no mention of this name in the statutes. The first verse seems to be quoted the most frequently. We were curious about one of the words used in "The Toast" and decided to do a little homework. The following might be of interest to you as it was to us. We weren't sure about the word supercooling, so we decided to consult.

Here we found out that Supercooling was the name of a river in North Carolina that ran into Alabama Sound, the section of which was also called Sculpturing Lake. This didn't seem to work well within the verse of "The Toast".

We looked a little further and found that a sculpturing is a muscleman grape, native to the southern states and named for the river and lake.

This brings life to the verse. In 1957 the North Carolina General Assembly officially adopted a poem, written by Lenora Martin and Mary Burke Kerr in 1904, as the official toast to the state (Session Laws, 1957, c.777).

The following is from the North Carolina General Statutes provided on the web site of the North Carolina General Assembly, September 25, 2001. Toast is a community or populated place (Class Code U5
