    I was shook when the road at 12:41 came up, it’s literally less than a minute from my neighborhood and they finished constructing the road less than 2 years ago (hence the ‘no outlet’ still being there) so I didn’t even know it was on street view yet

    "Pee Dee" is actually the name of a major river. I live downriver from that part of NC, and my entire large section of South Carolina is universally referred to as "The Pee Dee." The river and region were named after its indigenous inhabitants, and the Pee Dee Tribe still exists, headquartered in Marlboro County, SC.

    My friend has a goal of trying local beer from each state, so we stopped in Asheville to pick up beer, but that was pretty much all I've done there! One of the states I've done the least in so far

      Awesome, I've started that up as a goal too! Haven't had much since I'm only 22 and visited most states under 21 lol but one day I'll get there

    I spent a couple days in Charlotte for work last year. The downtown looked pretty nice but it was such a ghost town after office hours... I didn't see anyone walking around even though it was a beautiful evening.

    • @Legority

      outside of college campuses and the occasional pedestrianized area, our downtowns are EXTREMELY car-centric and therefore not very walkable. It sucks

    • @ChicagoGeographer
      @ChicagoGeographer  Рік тому +3

      My experience was similar, stopped downtown for an hour in the evening and there was next to nobody out, even in a lovely new park

    I grew up in Waynesville, NC, about 30 min west of Asheville right in the heart of the mountains. The Blue Ridge will always have a special place in my heart❤

    Great video as usual!
    I stayed in Charlotte for 4 months in 2016 work related. 100% biased, but awesome city and state. Also love the mountains around Asheville/Blowing Rock and the Outer Banks are fantastic as well. Still regularly go there from Germany

    When I was a kid, once we passed through NC going to Myrtle Beach (with a night stay in Monroe), and another time we stopped in Cherokee via the Great Smoky Mountains.

    I've spent my times in the extremes of NC (eastern and western). I worked for a couple weeks in Jacksonville, NC (Camp Lejeune) and then I've hike the mountains and have been to Mount Mitchell.

    @bobsondugnutt4379 Рік тому +1

    Great video! I've spent a good bit time in the Outer Banks of NC throughout the years. I would also love to get over to the more mountainous part of the state too, Asheville looks beautiful.

    Went to the Charlotte area and Fayetteville to see family friends and a beach near Wilmington. Nice state overall.

  • @Legority
    @Legority Рік тому +1

    Ayyyyy my state! I've visited all over NC since...I live here, though it's nowhere near my favorite state to visit (out of the 44 I've been to at least). I'm glad the one place you've visited here is my favorite NC town, and I'd recommend more of the mountains (including the Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore, etc), the beaches (OBX, Wright Brothers Memorial, Carolina Beach, and all the historic landmarks), and maybe parts of the Triangle!

  • @rogerdickinson9335

    There are a lot of pretty areas in coastal NC too. If you like big Spanish moss draped live oaks, Airlie Gardens in Wilmington is a great place to visit

    I visited UNC for a couple days; it was fine. More fun was my trip all along the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was terrific. Best time to visit Mount Mitchell: dawn. A great drive

    I have been to Charlotte airport and driven in/out of there, but that's it for my North Carolina experience. I'd really like to see more of it, seems like a really cool state!

    Western NC is so pretty. I didn’t really know the state had such big mountains until I was passing through like a year ago and it was really cool

    I’m from Chapel Hill NC. I think the state is SO underrated in terms of natural beauty. I love how many pristine forests there are here.
    Also, navigating here is a nightmare, so don’t feel bad about struggling with the roads. Lol

    Last round was less than 5 mins from my office, I was wondering when you would get placed outside of Raleigh! To me, the urban landscape has always felt somewhat 'greener' and the soil more darker in the Raleigh-Durham area versus Charlotte & Winston-Salem. May be all in my head though

    A state I’ve technically been to but barely as I just spent the night in Greensboro on a road trip years ago. But I’m dying to get to Asheville and hike Mt Mitchell, but the Outer Banks and seeing the cities of Charlotte and the Research Triangle are high on my list as well
