I was about to say that I know it's about 4 or 5 hours from Wilmington to Ocracoke, and Corolla's about another 3 or so hours farther than that on Hwy 12. Of course, that's the languorous, scenic route to get there. Not the best way to go.

Ah, Wilmington... 'Hollywood East.' Lotta folks don't realize how much filming/taping goes on out there, and with world-class production values. There're some mighty impressive lots and sound stages, and the local populace is highly skilled and enthusiastic in and for the movie and TV industries.
Or at least it was, about ten winters ago, when I went out to visit with a friend while he and his cohorts were in between shoots. We played bocce in a public park on the coldest day on record, and hung out in various neighborhood pubs. A lot of wonderful beer and wonderful people were involved. Good times, good times...
Another one of the memories I have of that town, and Wrightsville Beach nearby, is that the art and science of the thing called Breakfast was elevated to a special mindset of its own. Lotta places offered breakfast specials, prominently and competitively promoted amongst each other. Had some magnificent cheese grits at one, which I don't even think is a truly indigenous food out that far all the way to the coast, but maybe it is.
Great town, that just got greater with the Pub'o'Brown opening. Best wishes for well deserved fortune, y'all!

Ahh, the studios! That place and I have an understanding. 
Business there wasn't doing too well there for a while until the filming tax incentive passed last year. Now business is booming again. 
Btw, grits are indigenous out here! It's still the South after all. Did you ever try the BBQ? Yummy-yummy!

Okay, I just popped by the pub a little while ago, and they don't have a credit card machine YET, so for the time being they are a cash only establishment. And, I haven't seriously carried cash in a couple of years on a regular basis, so I'll have to go by tomorrow night to see Trojan Women.

I live in Norfolk, about 5 hours away. I'll make a special trip to visit. Always wanted to see Wilmington, this gives me a good reason

'Trojan' Women...Hmm , think I might've seen a commercial about them , once...
There's a good bit going on 'round the Port City this weekend , so it may occasion a visit...
Should I have opportunity to visit the B-C Pub/Theatre , I'll see if there's a 'PhyreLight' in the house...

Well after some considering this afternoon, I can't make it tonight. There's too much that needs to be done. Work before play 'n all. *sigh* Oh, well.
