So with a little more than a week to go before the Dragon (!) I should be doing productive stuff...finishing the Pinewood MINI, working on Car Show swag (Vote for Smurfette, get a prize!), packing, cleaning the house so the house sitter doesnt think we're slobs, etc.. However an interesting bit of trivia surfaced in the Dragon Parade post that has me wondering what else I am missing. It seems the dam jump in the Fugitive movie was filmed at one of the dams. I have also heard that Lynn's Diner was the diner in the film Nell.

So who else knows any other MOTD area trivia...movie related or not?

 

Um, not really movie trivia but Eric Rudolph (the abortion bomber) was caught, after 2 + years on the run, dumpster diving behind the Ingles in Murphy.

 

Peter Sellers final movie was "Being There" and was shot at the Biltmore House in Biltmore, North Carolina. Just south of Asheville.

 

"I like to watch."

 

The speed limit on the Dragon used to be 60 MPH!

If anybody has any questions about anything down there, look for the woman in this car. She's my wife Molly and she's one of the best and most experienced drivers on The Hill. She has literally tens of thousands of miles there, and loves to tell her stories!
