Went down to Oriental, NC for the first time over the weekend for Buddy Kelly's birthday party. I had never been there before, but must admit it's a very nice place, though I'm glad they have some boats, because I think it would be less interesting in the absence of boats, and everyone seems to agree. It's all rather boatie.
I was housed in a rental in a subdivision across the bridge from the main part of town. Just before the bridge, on the right, there's a guy who had three Rolls Royces, the old school ones, two of them for sale. Then, on the way out of town headed north towards Bayboro, there was a junk store on the left, where there was another Rolls Royce in amongst the other stuff.
You don't see a whole lot of Rollses out in Eastern NC. When I got to Bayboro, abutted by its twin "city" Alliance, there was both a Hardees that had gone out of business, then what looked to be a failed Taco Bell. Later, there was a Golden Corral. It's flat and humid and appears to be excruciatingly boring out there, if you don't have a boat, that is.
Masks were really not much of a thing out there. Marc George told me he had been mocked in the Piggly Wiggly for wearing one.
