Sometimes you just need a bit of that Southern charm. There’s something uniquely special about The South, an air and vibe that simply don’t exist anywhere else in the country and, indeed, in the world. Call it a mindset, call it a way of life, whatever you feel it stems from there’s no denying that there’s nothing like the way things move and exist within this region of the United States of America.
So what sets it apart? There’s the architecture, for one. Want to find some of the most pleasantly constructed and designed houses in the country? There’s nothing like the Southern Style of architecture, which you can see on prominent display throughout North Carolina. And of course then there’s the food. You’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere in the world with food can match the delicious simplicity of a Southern breakfast or fried chicken or other such delights, all of which North Carolina has in spades. There’s just so much to love about North Carolina that you’ll want it all, to soak it all in.
The best way to do that? Get behind the wheel of your car and make a road trek across the state. There’s plenty of open road and lush scenery across North Carolina to make that a viable and preferable choice. North Carolinians do plenty of driving themselves, too. The average motorist in North Carolina drives nearly 16,000 miles annually and there are 5.7 million registered vehicles on the road. Meanwhile, there are more than 4,000 dealerships with cars for sale, many of which contribute to the $17 billion in new car sales and help keep afloat the 217,493 auto industry jobs found throughout the state.
Just be sure that when you’re in Dunn, NC, don’t drive through a cemetery unless you are specifically there to dig a grave or bury someone. That’s against the law.
