Talking

I live in Blounts Creek, but I'm only half flat-lander as my dad's family is from the Brushy Mountains - Lenoir, Wilkesboro, etc. I even used to live in the village of Grover - a spot in the road where I-85 crosses from NC to SC. Amazing how many of us Carolinians there are on this site - I prefer to think of it as our being smart and having good taste rather than too many of us in this kettle of fish!
