yeah, it's the same thing i was thinking about. if you're headed east you turn off 58, then turn left at the tower, then go down there and take a left and it takes you right into maysville. near a funeral parlor iirc.

we always just called it "the shortcut where you go by that tower behind the doublewide"

[Edited on February 18, 2009 at 2:07 PM. Reason : is it snake road b/c it's curvy as fuck?]

2/18/2009 2:07:00 PM

its not called snake road, its called pole pocossin

lived there all my life and never heard it called snake road

however, pollocksville, trenton, and maysville are representin' in this thread, hell yea...

and yes, it by-passes pollocksville...pretty deadly road.

2/18/2009 4:46:44 PM

seems like more folks call it snake road to me. doesn't really matter what the map has to say about it.

2/18/2009 5:08:16 PM

i guess tourists like to call it snake road

haha

It's probably one of those deals where some dude saw the biggest snake he had ever seen in his life on that road, told all his friends about it, and then it just went from there. That's how ENC works; ENC don't care about maps.

^Pretty sure it's because it's curvy as fuck and not because someone saw a snake out there, although you can see snakes out there.

i see what your saying and understand what you mean about how ENC works. i'm just saying that i'm a local to that area, and locals don't call it snake road. my granddad used to say 'they really turned the snake loose on this road, didn't they?' (probably cause its curvy as fuck) but we never called it snake road. anyways, i guess its kinda like little washington. i think everyone calls it little washington, except for little washington locals. i heard they get upset if you call the town anything other than 'washington'.

Who from Wilson remembers Mitchell's BBQ? It wasn't as good as Parker's or Bill's (who is??) but it was still decent.

I'm from Ocean Isle, I do not want to be classified with the fucks from HYDE GODDAMN COUNTY no matter how far east it may be. I wish someone would build a town in Hyde country just so you shitheads from it will stop claiming the whole damn county as your hometown.

You've probably never heard of Myrtle Beach either.

Here's a question for you ENC people. If you are heading north from Wilmington on highway 17, right before you hit Holly Ridge there is a mailbox that has a really big sign coming up from the post that has the number 19 on it. I really want to know why. It's not the address because the house number is on the actual mailbox. Anyone know?

2/19/2009 8:00:12 PM

obligatory who heads north from wilmington on 17

2/19/2009 8:01:15 PM

LOL at the dowdy's post.

2/19/2009 8:04:49 PM

hahaha. seriously i used to beg my mom to go there. i was so amazingly cool.

2/19/2009 8:08:05 PM

i heard the ferris wheel rolled down the road in a storm!
i used to live down the road from the guy who owned that place. he had some old rides in his back yard.

2/19/2009 8:09:01 PM

oops i don't know how that posted twice.

yea the lot is still there right? all grown over and shit. i used to love the octopus ride. and i think they had spinning apples. haha.

come again?

2/19/2009 8:18:15 PM

the last time i went home, the lot was still there.

i only remember the little roller coaster, the ferris wheel, and the go carts. it was like a mini-state!

It still trashed. They want some ungodly amount of money for it.

i'll take a crack at this one. I think the sign that you are referring to is a channel marker. I'm just guessing that someone thought it would be a neat idea to take a channel marker from the channel, and put it in their front yard. thats my guess.

2/20/2009 7:49:41 AM

oh man

I suddenly want to go to the NC coast and eat some bbq and drink some sun drop and dickel

Did the sign look like this green or orange one?

2/20/2009 9:14:26 AM

No, it doesn't really look like either one of those.
