The secret is out. Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart was the mystery guest of a billionaire developer who prompted local officials to take down flags honoring the late NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt in his hometown.

Stewart visited the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis on Thursday with David Murdock, the campus founder and owner of Dole Food Co.

Stewart said she would take ideas from the campus to her Center for Living at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

Last week, city workers took down flags honoring Earnhardt after an official at Murdock's real estate company and a local tourism official said some were dirty and torn and might upset a Murdock guest, who wasn't identified.

Not me again. I hope this person is having fun.< I didn't say that. You must feel powerful to hide behind my name and post things I haven't said. Even though I know who you are. The only ONLY reason I haven't struck is because.....you don't need to know that. You silly young boys have made a grave mistake. He who laughs last - laughs the longest.
