I watched S2 E1 last night. They talked about Masonboro Sound. Masonboro is off the south end of Wrightsville Beach; its nowhere near the OBX. Peasants
Towns that used to be separate and are now together:
Winston-Salem
Fuquay-Varina
Towns that used to be separate and remain that way to this day:
Raleigh-Durham
(I know this frustration! Went to a school depicted in a movie as Romanesque Revival brick. The school is almost entirely built of locally quarried granite.)
Not NC, but ask someone from Michigan about the line "born and raised in south Detroit" from Don't Stop Believing. "South Detroit," if there was such a thing, would be in Canada. Also, In Bird on a Wire, they take a ferry from Detroit to Wisconsin.
This is NC-adjacent, but the geography of the lyrics in the NC-beloved "Wagon Wheel" drive my wife crazy. It defies physics that someone who's south of Roanoke, Virginia, and headed for Raleigh would encounter a trucker heading west from the Cumberland Gap (which is well west of Roanoke) and bound for Johnson City, Tennessee (which is also west of Roanoke).
Outlander season 5 episode 1. Outside wedding, supposedly in mountains of NC, near Grandfather Mtn. (Actually filmed in Scotland) Filmed when no leaves on trees. Added Spanish moss to the largest tree for filler..NO!
For me it's an episode of X-files where a Haitian refugee camp is located at the back of Camp Lejeune near Folkstone and people spend all their time walking back and forth to the NC Port.

Apparently according to Where the Crawdads Sing, one can pop over to Asheville from the coastal NC marshes like it’s not an 8-9 hour drive.

Love the story. I am set to start watching season 2 of Outer Banks this week.
