I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful week, at the beach, with my family. Although, I am back to the grind, I thought I would share a few gems I stumbled upon. On Wednesday, Dearest Husband and I headed into Wilmington, NC for a child free night of dinner, and a walk on the water front. Beautiful downtown, if you have never been there.
My first find of the night was this…
Who doesn’t love cupcakes and wine, right? I really think they should have named their business Heaven. I was pretty excited about this delectable find too, until we came across this…
The filming of Fox’s TV series, Sleepy Hollow. I know, it’s the back of Tom Mison’s head, but it’s the best I could do, before being told I wasn’t allowed to take photographs. Hey, at least the crew guy didn’t make me delete my photos. Admittedly, I have never seen the show, so I can’t tell you if it is good or bad, but you will find Tom on my list of imaginary boyfriends, -er character research list.
Having never been on a set – film or TV – it was quite entertaining to watch the process. For those of you who are unaware, you have most likely watched a show, or movie that has largely been filmed in North Carolina. The Wilmington area particularly, has been a favored location for film, and television alike.
Back in his college days, Dearest Husband used to grumble when he had to walk completely out of the way to get to class, because Dawson’s Creek was filming on campus at UNCW. And speaking of teen dramas, I even found a little homage to One Tree Hill, the series that filled our void after Dawson, Pacey, and Joey said their final goodbye’s.
Remember Brooke’s first designer line, Clothes Over Bros? Ah, Chad Michael Murray, you stole my tween heart in that grey hoodie all those years ago.
We all think of Hollywood as being the mecca of film, but you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how many well-known films and TV series call North Carolina home. Iron Man III, Tammy, The Hunger Games, We’re The Millers, just to name a few recent Box Office hits. As well as, hit shows like Sleepy Hollow, Under the Dome, Homeland, and Revolution.
