| "The Tar
Heel State" (I don't get it.) "The wacky nickname state... Tar Heel, indeed." -Frank |
 |
Burlington - Not quite a railroad or a coat factory, but in fact an entire town. (Mar '02)
Cape Fear - Well, it wasn't as frightening as the movie by the same name, which also left some disappointment in my mind, to be sure. (Mar '02)
Charlotte - The largest city in the state, over a half million people living there. Someone claimed there was nothing to see, and refused to stop; thus no pictures (apologies, but believe me, I tried to get tubby to at least slow down from 80 MPH). (Mar '02)
Fair Bluff - This quaint little town of about 1,100 people, we even slowed down (and stopped, twice!). Of course, I was driving then. (Mar '02)
Haw River - Well, we were there because we were lost. Well, not lost, but not where we thought. So we took the picture and moved on. (Mar '02)
High Point - Both the name and its neighboring city cause some worry as to what early settlers were really thinking about. (Mar '02)
Raleigh - The capital of the state. What more can be said? (Mar '02)
Wilmington - A big ol' town and the home of the USS North Carolina. Can't pass by without stopping there. (Mar '02)
