Ladieeees and Gennnntlemen...introducing, for your learned consideration, the Honorable Mr. Bladenboro Coinjock Andrews. At your service, one and all...
I'm feeling inadequate about declaring I'm incredibly familiar with North Carolina, having learned for the first time my affiliation with Cerro Gordo and having no idea how to pronounce it.
I admit to being stumped despite all 48 of my years spent in NC. But now, in addition to people asking me what the 'Z' stands for, they can also ask, "Where the hell is Newton Grove?"
This has the makings of one of the weirdest road trips ever.
Mmmm, you have listed Burlington twice. And under the same initial! I'm tempted to suggest substituting in Lizard Lick for one of them, but a certain towing company may have made that a bit too familiar for the fakers. Maybe some crossroads...
Look, I know Oakboro, Wanchese, and Burlington aren't considered "World-class" (thanks, Mayor Pat), but this story is why I keep reading your works, Jeremy. Your fan, JMH.

I've been waiting for Kernersville to pop up on the Rabbit Hole for a long time. Finally, K-Vega$ is on the map. IYKYK!!!

“CHAIR-uh-Gore-duh.” I used to live in nearby Whiteville (without an “S”)
Ha, that wasn't in the half dozen possibilities I'd come up with. Thanks!

I was always taught to just say "from Manteo to Murphy" and everything in between.
That's the familiar one, but I'm now told it's actually from Hothouse to Rodanthe.
Hillsborough, if you please.
