All of the 3 seem significant. Obviously the first (near Middletown in NC), 1/2 of the source of the name Otanoa, home of Woodrow Wilson College and Future Home (western edge).
The 2nd (NJ) is near Newfoundland, where acclaimed movie Station Agent was primarily filmed. Swannanoa NC sometimes nicknamed Swanna Nowhere, and in film Newfoundland was similarly described as being in the middle of nowhere. Resonance.
Station Agent is a primary movie in Carrcass+6.
And then the only other one, in VA, was home to coupled mystics Walter and Lao Russell during the last half of the 20th Century. This is where they lived and worked.

I just stumbled upon mention of the band They Might Be Giants this morning when looking up the etymology of the phrase “here there be giants”, used in a previous post. Now I find, through research into the French Broad, that they wrote a song about Ashville. Hmmm…

Year: 2004Please allow me to introduce myself I’m the orange peel You don’t remember But I was once part of your orange
I’m the peel that you left on the floor You took the good part and walked out the door And I hate you for that I hate you for that I’m the orange peel
When the flood waters reach where I lay French Broad River will float me away And I hate you for that I hate you for that I’m the orange peel I’m the orange peel I’m the orange peel
