I'm like, "Does that make you better than normal people?"

I mean I've been to nice beaches before but I don't have Hawaii on my license plate.

Back in the 90's when the tourist started taking over the Nags Head area the locals used the OBX stickers to tell them apart from the tourist. Now the tourist have taken that over "OBX sticker" and you don't see the locals riding around with those stickers anymore. The funny part is that people who own property down there still want people to know they are "a local" so they still sport those stickers. The locals now suport tourism allot more because they realize it means big$$$$.
