Pleasure Island In The News

Our little island has been big news lately, first with a write-up in the Atlanta Journal Constitution on the weekly fireworks display found here throughout the summer:

And then Carolina Beach and Britt's Donuts were mentioned in a national broadcast of Weekend Edition Sunday from National Public Radio. The story centers around the commentator not quite getting the hype behind donuts as a harbinger of and must-eat treat of summer. A piping hot Britt's donut just dripping with glaze after taking a dip in the ocean or to kick off a weekend morning? What's not to get? Sounds like the author needs a trip to Pleasure Island to truly understand what it's all about!

Read or listen to the full story here: http://www.npr.org/2012/07/08/156313507/since-when-does-summer-taste-like-doughnuts
