He shot the movie down the road from lumberton NC, in wilmington. He had to shoot a scene or two in Lumberton NC in order to use the name, according to wikipedia. But yeah it's a fictional town - there's no bay in wilmington, and all the main actors had midwestern accents

@010bobby it's from the movie Blue Velvet by David Lynch. A fictitious Lumberton, based in part on Lynch's hometown of Spokane WA.

Easily in my Top5 films of all time. The genius David Lynch got some ideas for Twin Peaks while making this. Angelo Badalamenti providing such great music to accompany both.

One of the very few songs in which somebody does it better than Elvis, and his version is also damn good.
