STORY & PHOTOS

On "Dawson's Creek", film geek Dawson and his best friend Pacey work at Screen Play video during their teen years. Screen Play is even where Pacey meets Tamara Jacobs, the teacher that steals his heart (and his virginity).

Unfortunately Screen Play Video does not actually exist (partly because no one rents videos anymore, ever) but you can still pose with the exterior if you're ever in Wilmington, NC. It's currently a hair salon called N Salo, but the entryway looks pretty similar to its Capeside counterpart.

Here it is as it appeared on the "Creek":

And here's me posing with it back in 2006:

Warning: I haven't been back in a while, so I can't promise this is exactly how you'll find it. But I plugged the address into Google Maps and the street view shows this:

So I think it's still pretty "Creek"-y!
