The summertime weekly Yankee parade is misery in NC. God bless anyone unfortunate enough to have to commute on 40, during Friday afternoons. My old commute was around 30 minutes. On Friday's the Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Indiana plates choke the highway and turn it into a hour and half drive.

Thankfully we're off the beaten path unless folks try to use the backroads to get to the Brunswick beaches. Thankfully, it's still mostly locals that head there.

We have a place at the Outer Banks which the best part of that traffic is never that bad and there are really no hotels on the beach just house/condo rentals. Nothing like the areas between Wilmington and Topsail. Emerald Isle I can not speak as I stay away from Jacksonville/Morehead City.

But than again the majority of the people that live in the Triangle I would wager are from up north or the midwest. RTP the majority is Indian.
