RocaNews has just released a video, "Inside North Carolina's Rural To***co Towns." First stop was in Downtown Dunn, NC where locals were interviewed, & you can see exterior shots of The Dunn Area History Museum. The video ends in Wilson, but not before they go get some Eastern NC BBQ at Parker's Barbecue Wilson. The video is in the first comment. It is very interesting- give it a look, you might recognize someone.

Only in North Carolina & not very far from Dunn you can find rare purple honey. Sometimes rare rhododendron "mad honey" can be found in the NC Appalachian Mountains.
