This is just a fun thread for all areas of NC to pitch in and say that they know they're from NC when they see/hear/eat/find, etc...

I'll go first!

You know you're in NC when:

You measure distance in minutes. lol

You know that Cheerwine was made in Salisbury. Yummm.

You've ever had to switch from heat to a/c in the SAME day.

You hear the phrase "appreciate it"

[JennieAmber]

You know you're from High Point NC when you dont even attempt to drive on south main when the furniture market is in town. Any HPers know this.

The "T" in Clinton (Clin'on) moves north to Wilson (Wilt'son)

Any city with "boro" on the end loses a syllable and becomes "burr."
Cities with "ville" in their name is pronounced "vul."
It's not High Point, rather Hah Pont.
