It's That Time of Year

It's time for the elephant stampede. Let's fix this mess.

 

yes this years vote is critical!!!

 

If only the city would be more open to look somewhere else, other than downtown Wilmington. Why pay $14+ million for a chunk of land that does not even meet baseball regulations, not to mention the lack of parking etc. I like how Wilmington is keeping a low down on the group that offered 33.5 acres for free. Problem is, the property is over the bridge, but directly across from PPD & the projected site. Wilmington does not want the community benefits partially going to Brunswick County.

I'm just waiting for Carolina Beach's Hilton & Harris Teeter to pop up - does anyone have a time frame on that one?

 

Well said Erock. I would have to agree.

 

Of course I don't have a vote in NC either so I guess its not too important what I think.

 

"When the common good of a society is regarded as something apart from and superior to the individual good of its members, it means that the good of some men takes precedence over the good of others, with those others consigned to the status of sacrificial animals." Ayn Rand

Harris Teeter Signs up all over the lot. I might be missing something, but is that going to be a bad thing? Easy bike ride from Canal and right next to the ABC store. Sounds like heaven...

NICE!! I have Common Sense on the Kindle

 

I hope we get the Harris Teeter. I am not too satisfied with Food Lion's service, although their prices are fairly competitive. Regardless, we need something there to fill the Jubilee Park "gap." Hopefully, the Harris Teeter (if it comes) will bring more attention to the area - it would be nice to get our movie theater back. Harris Teeter, ABC & the movie theater would make a great tri-fecta.

If you're on Canal, what block do you surf? I'm on 600 CB North.

The CB thread...nice. I just made it back to the house. Looking out there right now - pretty choppy, but some nice faces every now and then. Looking forward to a cleaner tomorrow - most likely Sunday or Monday. Stay safe ya'll.

 

Carolina Beach is a beach on Pleasure Island, NC. Is 'beach' too redundant?

The OP was about the "stadium tax" - a hot political topic in the Wilmington area.
