TARTAN ARMY — BREAK THE DRIVE IN TARBORO, NORTH CAROLINA

[Patrick Robinette]

Tartan Army — I know a lot of you are looking at that long drive from Boston to Miami.

I’m going to throw out a stop that most of you probably have never heard of: Tarboro, North Carolina.

It’s not a tourist trap. It’s not a big city. It’s a small Southern town just off I-95 where you can get a room, grab a beer, eat well, and catch your breath before finishing the run to Miami.

The drive works out pretty clean:

Boston to Tarboro — around 10.5 hours
Tarboro to Miami — around 11.5 hours

So instead of driving yourself into the ground, split the trip and let us give you a proper welcome.

We’ve got local beer at Tarboro Brewing Company and Taps on Main, food at On the Square, and if you want something different, the Tarboro River Bandits have baseball this weekend at Tarboro Municipal Stadium.

And here’s the deal: show up to a River Bandits home game in a Scotland or World Cup jersey and your first beer is on us.

I’ll attach the flyer and my WhatsApp QR code. Message me if you need help with where to stay, where to eat, or how to make the stop work.

Safe travels south. Miami needs to hear you coming.

Alba gu bràth.
