What is the nightlife and weekend life like in North Carolina?
I’m two hours from the coast – two hours from my front door to my feet in the sand. I’m four hours from the nation’s capitol and all the amazing cultural activities there, three hours from North Carolina’s own wine country, and an hour and a half outside the Research Triangle Park, which boasts its own bar scene and restaurant choices. In Tarboro specifically, in our revitalized downtown, we just got a new pub, but weekend trips are definitely the highlight. Even visiting local Lake Gaston is great for a quick dip and then sitting outside and lesson planning. We also went hiking in the mountains for spring break. How often do you spend time with fellow corps members? I would say on a weekly basis. We have weekend get-togethers, barbeques, and volleyball games. We also meet up at the lake and go for a swim, play games, and have dinner. In Tarboro, we have dinner at least once a month at On the Square, which is owned by two wine experts who moved here from New York City. The weekend trip
