FWIW, there's a midnight train to Georgia from Greensboro. Amtrak, the Crescent. Strictly speaking, it leaves at 12:22 am.

I rode it down there a few years ago to go to a conference in Atlanta, and could barely sleep because that song kept running through my head.

This was years ago, but can confirm she used to play a good bit of tennis in the Asheville area. I played a few times in close proximity to her. Also used to go to the same gym in Asheville as Andie "Rose" Macdowell.

Asheville has/had: Gladys Knight, Andie MacDowell, Harry "The Hat" Anderson, Thomas Wolfe, O. Henry, and Mark Brendanawicz from Parks and Rec. Just an embarrassment of riches.
