Wilmington is such a cool place! We took a movie tour there several years ago, and the guide said that a unit in Carolina apartments was one of the only practical locations used in "The Crow". It was Sgt. Albrechts apartment.
ReplyDeleteI lived in the Carolina Apartments for a couple of years and even threw a Blue Velvet-themed party there.
