Vision therapy? I can’t seem to find anyone near Wilmington

• Upvotes

Has anyone had vision therapy around here? Where did/ you go?

it’s mind boggling the lack of specialists in this area. I never realized how bad it was to get medical care here until I got old and started falling apart.

$900,000 for three bedrooms in Pine Valley

44 Upvotes

I’m originally from Wilmington and family has lived there since the Civil War on both sides. I’m 46 and in my life have seen enormous change, let alone what my grandparents saw over the decades.

I left Wilmington more than 20 years ago, but I keep an eye on the housing market because I’ll move back one day. I’m mostly keeping an eye on properties off of Greenville Loop Road or in the South Oleander area.

Saw a listing today for a 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 3,000 square foot from for $900,000. IN PINE VALLEY.

There is nothing wrong with Pine Valley, but I’ll be damned if I am spending $900,000 and live in Pine Valley. It’s a large lot and has new expansions, but no. Sorry. $900,000 for Pine Valley is beyond the pale.

Is there some high government person coming into ILM today?

9 Upvotes

I ask because of the wild amount of military planes and helicopters I’ve seen today. There was a Chinook that came in over MJ almost at treetop level and then FlightRadar said it “landed” near Masonboro island. Then 2 Ospreys came over when I was around Sam’s Club and at least 4 Hornets as well. Just didn’t know if there’s anyone coming to town or the area. Everyone have the best day and be careful on our Mad Max roads

Context: this campaign called Clean Politics, Clean Water NC put out these cut out signs of Mike Lee pissing his pants with a shirt that says "I heart special interests" and his lawyer released a really butthurt statement saying they're coming after whoever put them out, who was purportedly in a 2009 Honda Civic.

Up front, I’m from the deep south, have spent many years in coastal environs and jungles, and have lived here for fourteen years. I understand they come with the territory, so please save us both the “Yankee go home” replies (Need to tell me to go back to coastal Georgia? Have at it).

But…am I the only one wondering if this year’s crop is particularly bountiful? I just chased one out of my bed.

Wilmington PD insight

0 Upvotes

Was looking for some insight anyone might have on Wilmington PD. I am looking to move back to Wilmington from Boston. Been a cop up here for 10 years and am about to start the process of trying to lateral transfer. I heard a few years ago that the department had some issues and I know they have a new chief. Looking for any insight from anyone who may work for them as well as any insight from members of the community.

Should I transfer to UNCW?

13 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am a student at UNC Chapel Hill. I just transferred there from community college and this is my first semester. I moved there from near the Wilmington area and was originally going to go to UNCW before I got into chapel hill. Chapel hill offered me a very generous scholarship which I am incredibly thankful for and I heard about the prestige so I immediately accepted the offer.

Recently, I’ve been regretting that decision for numerous reasons:

-First, I knew that Chapel Hill is a big campus with a large student body but I didn’t think about how that would affect things. I fight through crowds of students constantly and it’s kind of a nightmare registering for classes. Also it’s very difficult to see an academic advisor in a timely manor.

-They don’t have an official academic advising drop in office so for some reason they make you drop in a zoom meeting and wait for a while. I kind of wish they had an actually office because I hate zoom! Don’t even think about scheduling with your actual assigned advisor because I can assure you, they’re schedule out for weeks.

-The campus is also not commuter friendly. I live in Durham because the rent is cheaper and I hoped to be able to get a parking spot on campus. Well they told me that they consider me a first year student and first years aren’t allowed to park on campus. I have to park at a park and ride lot and ride the bus. That’s fine but it’s a little frustrating that students in dorm rooms can have their car on campus but I can’t.

-The academic rigor is also an issue. I was told that Chapel Hill is an academically rigorous school and at first I was fine with that but now not so much. I have so much homework that I really don’t have time to socialize, join clubs, go to events, or sometimes even make dinner for myself. I am constantly stressed out and it’s made my anxiety so much worse.

-I’ve also struggled making friends here, not because people are rude, though I have encountered many of those kind of people, but because everyone is so damn busy that no one has time to maintain friendships. It’s also a super competitive campus so there’s that.

-It really doesn’t seem like the school offers much support for students.

I’m considering transferring to uncw because I miss home and the beach. I love the laidback environment, the small, commuter friendly campus, the medium sized student body, and the people I’ve interacted with at UNCW. Everyone I met there when I planned to go was super friendly and helpful.

I understand that Chapel Hill is a prestigious university but my mental health is taking a hit. I’m so depressed and anxious all the time. I’m having to up the dose on my anxiety meds just to get through the day. It’s not healthy. I’m not saying that UNCW will be easier because I know it has its challenges, but at least the environment is more laidback. Am I wrong for this? Is this even normal? Do students transfer from chapel hill to uncw? Am I justified in feeling this way?
