New York Post article on NC (moved from Raleigh forum)
Most of the article is on the Triangle so I am going to post it here.
Their favorite was Hillsborough, which has always been mine too.
"I fell hard for Hillsborough, 15 minutes west of Chapel Hill, a genteel, magnolia-splashed hamlet with an historic district comprised of the most beautiful white-washed Antebellum homes this side of Charleston."

They talk about the Inn at Celebrity Dairy! That's where I got married.
"Then there was the cheese. On day four we checked out of the Carolina Inn and into the Inn at Celebrity Dairy, a rustic, working goat farm outside Pittsboro, 30 minutes west of Durham. The dairy makes a delectably creamy chevre that it sells to farm markets and restaurants throughout the Triangle. Best of all, you get to stay on the farm. Madeline took a shine to the goats at milking hour, and in the evenings Grace and I sipped Rose on the wood porch, ate that chevre and watched fireflies light up the fields in front of the 1800-built farmhouse. It had six rooms but we were the only guests and if it wasn’t for the ear shattering squawk of the farm’s pet peacock at night, we may never have left."

The article mentions pine trees that smell of mint and the scent of azaleas.
I thought that pine trees smelled like pine and azaleas had no scent.
It's funny to read people's perceptions.

After spending a few years living in downtown Wilmington, I got a good hearty laugh at his description of it.
