Coal Minin' in Cacalacky
« on: May 18, 2004, 01:57:00 pm »
Y'all heard ol' Rhett gush about North Cacalacky.  Wells I'm abouts to spew all over that state.  Bodacious it ain't.
 
 My girlfriend and I visited Lumberton, North Carolina over the weekend.  Her Mom, from Adelaide, Australia, is on a teacher exchange program there.  
 
 Let me tell you what an absolute joy it was to be able to drive down the main road and see not only a Walmart but a Lowes right next to it!  To top that off there were numerous fast food chains that we could dine at.  I counted only two independent restaurants and a shop called Bryants Gun & Pawn.  But wait!  There's more!  
 
 Downtown Lumberton was a ghost town.  Saturday afternoon and the place was empty.  The Bakery was silent and the local theatre looked like it could use a production.
 
 Such a shame.

I believe it's "Kakalaka", my milky-complected friend.

i was in greenville, nc last weekend. not too shabby of a town, they had a lowes right next to a home depot. that was confusing.
 
 we did hit a used record store, i got a high quality neutral milk hotel bootleg and a pavement b side comp, the girl friend got alien lanes on record. made for a solid trip

Go to Asheville, Chapel Hill, or Raleigh. Or hike in the Smokies. If I were to live in or visit North Carolina, these are the places I would go. It's almost like these places are extra cool because they are where the cool people from the rest of the wasteland flock to.
