A recent TV ad attacking U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole was actually filmed in Bynum.
In a recent post, Dome wrote that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee had filmed an ad featuring two old men in rocking chairs at an ice cream store near Hillsborough.
That was incorrect. The ad was filmed at the Bynum General Store in Chatham County by Squier Knapp Dunn, a firm with offices in Washington, D.C., and New York.
A follow-up Web video featuring two younger men in rocking chairs was filmed on the sidewalk outside of the Maple View Ice Cream Store in Carrboro.
The Web video was filmed without permission of the ice cream store owners.
Dome regrets the error.

Re: Correction: DSCC ad filmed in Bynum
The ad is laughable...not the message..but the acting.
I've seen better local car commercials....
I'm not sure what it is.....but I am not convinced the characters are in the North Carolina in which I grew up. The ad doesn't get the stereotype quite right. Maybe they should have gotten Andy Griffith....or at least thrown in a tobacco chew and a spit or two.
