FBF: Wilmington


If it wasn’t common knowledge before, it’s about to be: I was obsessed with One Tree Hill. Me and one of my friends used to have binge marathons of the show when a new season was about to be released. We’d watch from season one and laugh, shout, throw M&M’s at the TV when we were raging at something, and even pause it if we needed to talk about something for more than five seconds. I should be embarrassed by this, but I tend to just smile at the memory and keep my complete series DVD collection hidden in a drawer.

There is a reason I'm telling you this slightly cringey story, promise. When I was living in Orlando in 2011, I went on a few power road trips. During one of them we stopped in Wilmington and spent a couple of days exploring. We took a tour around the studios where they filmed one morning. The only down side was we weren't allowed to take any photos (not even a cheeky selfie). But the best part was that afterwards, we went cruising around the town looking for all the spots they regularly filmed at for the show. I felt a little bit bad for the people who actually lived in the houses used as the exteriors of the characters houses but… it was all part of the fun.

Today I decided to relive a bit of that trip, thus sharing some pretty embarrassing (but pretty friggin' tan!) photos of me from three and a half years ago.

Hope you enjoy!

{The Rivercourt was demolished after the show wrapped. It was behind the carpark of the USS North Carolina Battleship}
