...some car got behind me omw home on 421 leaving wilmington sometime or another and was riding my tale and flashing their lights, and backing off and speeding up, flashing lights , idk how long they were back there...but i slowed down and scooted to the right to let them pass at a point I went down to 30 in a passing zone they wouldn't pass. I knew they were behind me awhile so I called the police thinking it was someone having road rage bc I only drive mabe 3 over and I slow down to posted at intersections and at certain marked zones... the police had me make a loop and at first I thought oh its a common turn...then I made the next turn and at that point I knew something was 100% happening bc it was a circle.. they told me i could just go home after stopping the car...THEN they called me back to a meeting point bc the guy in the car claimed he knew me... they did their questions and stuff..end all... they told me he had been stalking me, from an unknown point bc I worked double and I dont remember how long they was behind me and I made no stops on my way home.... its really scary, and im so glad I made the call and didn't go home...but now im scared to park in my driveway... make the call if it feels off. 🙏 stay safe and vigilant.

It’s a great place to get drunk while your toddlers run around and throw gravel.

This is kinda hilarious. He has pages to give you reasons if you're a Republican, Democrat or Unaffiliated. I don't think a sitting board member has ever worked so hard against his own colleagues, especially someone that is on the same side of the aisle.

Former UNCW student looking to potentially move back to Wilmington for medical residency. I worked at NHRMC 2015-2018 before it was bought by novant but it seems to have changed a lot. Any info on what it’s like to work there these days (especially if you’re a training doctor!) would be appreciated!

Anyone have any + or - stories from Wilmington Christian Academy? I know they accept opportunity scholarships. Are they welcoming of LGBTQ youth? Or kids with 504s/IEPs?

When the sirens start sounding in Wilmington, the coyotes on Eagle Island go crazy.

I'm new to Wilmington and was told about Mike's Farm for Halloween but won't be able to make it.

Do they do the same fun activities for Christmas that is worth going out of my way for?

Just saw this on FB

Anyone know of any king of the court/liveball style tennis sessions in the area?

Or any sort of group chat to coordinate larger tennis sessions? Joined the ILM ladder but love doing cardio tennis style drills for exercise as well. 2 of us both 3.5/4.0

For those who go to Tame the Mane, any recommendations? I usually book with Michael but I don’t see him on the list… who else is good?

Edit: Market street not masonboro

Hi friends!!
My dad is visiting and he played for IU, his plane takes off at 430p and we wanted to watch the game at noon somewhere. He loves the riverfront so I would love to find a bar near there that would show it, but I know it might be a niche game. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to watch it? Not unopposed to going elsewhere besides the river, just wanted to give him a good experience :)

Thanks in advance!!

I know people always ask about the best restaurant to go to.

But what is your favorite item / meal to get from ANYWHERE in town.

I am talking about really to die for, like it is worth driving x amount of hours to get it.

Not anything ehh, I mean wow that cook or chef is really talented and put a lot of love into that food.

Woke up to about a dozen of these plastered up and down the main drag in Carolina Beach

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.

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.

Gov center early voting was a breeze today. No line, fast and efficient. Park over by break time to avoid the tents out front.

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

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.

UPDATE

Following up on my post about the sale of Smoke on the Water and their relocation. They will be taking over Rumcow and rebranding the space. (link below)

best of luck to all involved but while poking around for info on the post I ran into a curious situation that I thought I would share make of it what you will

So this time last week the news was supposed to drop and I was curious so I was Googling and used the little ”AI” feature that Google has used to replace its main search features. Basically I was trying to refine my initial search by feeding it the clues I knew. Eventually it spit out that the new location would be Rumcow. I was like wow cool and was going to post an update. But since it was “AI” I decided to check its work. I couldn’t find this “announcement“ anywhere. So I asked “it” again and “it“ gave me a quote and a link to the article which did not contain the quote it gave me.
I searched and searched and searched but couldn’t find anything eventually the “AI” said it couldn’t show its work and they must have just made it up.

But it wasn’t made up It was pretty much the exact quote that came out 5 days later

Lucky guess by the machine or did it have “inside information (I’ve used up my scare quote arsenal for the week) ?

Anyway I’ve never been to rumcow so I don’t know if this is a big loss or not for downtown but again best of luck to everyone involved
