^^My parents are from Wrightsville. If you need any suggestions on eats, places to fish, fun, gun shops etc...just let me know.

1/21/2013 8:55:22 PM

staying downtown, so food suggestions around there would be good. all i'm really familiar with are Elijah's and Dock Street Oyster Bar.

[Edited on January 21, 2013 at 8:59 PM. Reason : i'll go try that island fresh mex place and flaming amy's]

1/21/2013 8:59:02 PM

^^Blasphemy! I'm craving a Bacondoublecheese Burgerito right now!

1/21/2013 8:59:42 PM

I think they have an I <3 NY Pizza, at least they used to

1/21/2013 8:59:58 PM

^^^These will all be in Wrigtsville or near there. Bluewater, Dockside, Fish House, South Beach, Oceanic, Tower 7 are all excellent restaurants.

Jims Guns, Backwater, Shooters Choice, and various pawn shops in the area are all good gun shops (Jims being the best).

1/21/2013 9:41:12 PM

anywhere to go shoot?

1/21/2013 9:53:49 PM

well?

1/23/2013 7:18:45 PM

2/21/2013 6:32:53 PM

Fish Bites

2/21/2013 9:13:02 PM

too late now

2/21/2013 9:16:43 PM

^^Fish Bites is the jam! They always have kickass food and they bring out some incredible corn bread muffins. Also, most tourists don't know it exists which is a plus during the season

2/21/2013 9:41:33 PM

If you're living downtown be sure to check out chops deli, the basics, front street brewery, and the shuckin shack.

Other area favorites are Nikkis sushi, Stone Crab Co, PT's, Sweet N Savory, Islands (for $1 tacos), Surfhouse, Caseys BBQ, and plenty others im forgetting

Best seafood market is Seaview Crab Company

Best gun shop is Backwater Guns

My boy's gotta condo at Cordgrass. Last time I was down there his wife introduced me to one of her girlfriends, and we hit it off well. I'm excited to go back. Hopefully we'll get a string of warm days coming up here soon. Girl was mad lovely. From Nebraska.

Also, I rep C street pretty hard. 26 Nyuka.

5/23/2013 6:41:42 PM

5/23/2013 6:45:30 PM

The seal is still there, the turtle patrol is guarding it.

5/24/2013 10:06:05 PM

The People's Republic of Wrightsville Beach

5/24/2013 11:25:11 PM

He still out there.

5/24/2013 11:33:02 PM

is he dying

5/25/2013 12:39:26 AM

I'm here, and I don't see any seals.

5/25/2013 1:52:17 AM

He's not dying, he's molting. The local news here are saying that he might have rabies so the dumbass tourists will leave him alone. To me, the seal looks happy but he does deserve to be left alone.

5/25/2013 7:48:51 PM

I saw him down at the Kure Beach pier last week. He's basically here to shed off his fur and grow his adult coat. Apparently seals can only do this on land. The police department named him Rufus

5/25/2013 10:49:13 PM

did anyone else see the smog last night it smelled like aforest fire

What goes on Monday night?

6/17/2013 5:31:45 PM

I'll be down in Wilmington tomorrow through Friday for our E&O Conference. Will be doing a lot of drinking during the evenings. Staying at the Hilton Riverside. Will likely head out to a bar somewhere tomorrow night to watch the game.

6/17/2013 9:50:20 PM

go to The Copper Penny

6/17/2013 9:52:08 PM

For the game?
For dinner?
For drinking?
All of the above?

6/17/2013 10:01:06 PM

all of the above. plenty of TVs, great beer selection, decent drink specials, food is excellent, much better than your standard greasy bar food.

6/17/2013 10:06:55 PM

Yea, copper penny is one of the better sports bars downtown. Also nearby your hotel is cape fear beer and wine, which has some kickass beers. check out blue post as well

any of you people tried Mission BBQ near College/New Centre? went today and had the pulled pork and brisket. it's the real deal.

4/15/2014 6:41:49 PM

^ saw that the other day, I usually go to Jackson's Big Oak on Kerr, but Im going to have to try this now

4/15/2014 7:32:13 PM

jackson's bbq is meh at best. very low on flavor most days. their sides just come out of buckets, cans, and the freezer. i was not impressed. it's right there with all the other used-to-be-great eastern nc bbq restaurants that have sold out and now serve up slop to the masses who still show up simply because of the name.

Mission has real smoked and pulled pork and they make their sides right there. the pork and brisket were very good without sauce, but their eastern nc sauce was excellent and they also had a really good selection of other sauces they make.

[Edited on April 15, 2014 at 7:54 PM. Reason : i will say jackson's has excellent stew]

4/15/2014 7:51:03 PM

4/15/2014 8:00:03 PM

i would also be interested in that^. i'm in Pender County and am looking to build a detached garage.

4/15/2014 8:02:10 PM

the fat pelican for the experience

4/15/2014 8:26:15 PM

We're building a house in wilmington. Maybe we'll stop by and throw up a garage while we're waiting for the inspectors
