Here's Lookin at You...North Carolina Opening Ceremony

Sneek a peek and experience just a handful of the 800+ movies that have been filmed across the beautiful home state of the Queen City …. “North Carolina”. Get a taste of the culinary fare that depicts each of the three regions: The Coast (east of I-95), The Piedmont (west of I-95 and east of I-77), and The Mountains (west of I-77). North Carolina is full of exciting surprises, and as Forrest Gump would say “…like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get”.
