Monkey Junction is a real place, Well to be 100% honest its a nickname for a real place! Its the Myrtle Grove area in Wilmington NC, The intersection has been known as "Monkey Junction" for almost seventy years thanks to a gas station that was located here from the late 1930s through the mid-1970s. The station, run by Dina and Jack Spindle, kept live monkeys in order to attract customers from a bus that passed by on the way to and from Carolina Beach
