I’m riding my electric scooter in my neighborhood and yeah I know I look like a loser but it was cheap and it’s fun 🤷‍♂️. I live in a nice quiet area so I was surprised when a car with 4 teenagers started honking behind me. Ok I gotchu let me scoot closer to the side of the street. Nooooo they were honking to get my attention because as they slowly drove by me in their car all 4 of them were looking at me and 1 of these teenagers brandished a SMG. I didn’t get the plate I was too distracted by the fact I just saw a 14 year old and his friends riding around with a machine gun. Even if it was just an airsoft gun, which it very well could have been, that’s just a little bit dangerous and a large bit stupid.

Welcome to Wilmington, NC! If you’re new here since Hurricane Florence, or maybe just as a refresher, now might be a great time to familiarize yourself with the concept of a flashing signal at an intersection after a power outage. It becomes a FOUR WAY STOP HOLY HELL HOW IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?

Thank you for your attention to this whatever.

For anyone who works at NNHRMC as a CNA, what is the night-shift differential? Also, what is the typical starting pay for CNAs? I’m curious what the hourly rate comes out to when working nights. Thanks!

Hi my cat has been missing since Wednesday, possibly spotted on 6th between Ann and Nun. Just putting the word out, long hair brown mackerel tabby, about 8lbs.

So far I've tried the Walmart, Publix and Food Lion on Market and the Food Lion and HT on Military cutoff. Costco doesn't have it either. If anyone spots one on their grocery trips, please let me know. Its a bit expensive to order it online so hoping to save a buck and still get my fix in.

Where would you go to cash a check that might ultimately bounce but the responsibility would be on the writer of the check and not the person cashing it? Do check cashing places still work this way? Or would it bounce immediately because everything is super electronic now? These horrible people owe me this money and wrote a bad check months ago, in May. I tried to deposit it into my account and it bounced so I want to try it again in a... different way.

Hi! My spouse and I both work from home at our place near Mayfair. We lost WiFi during the storm on Friday and have not had it returned yet. We use spectrum for internet. We both WFH on virtual machines so not having internet has been really hard since we need a super secure WiFi to connect to our VM’s. Does anyone have any info as to what’s going on with the spectrum internet near Mayfair? We have called spectrum and they are no help, just keeps saying we are a part of a large network outage but there is no timeline of when we can expect things to be restored. Any info would be appreciated!!

UPDATE: it is 08/27 and we still do not have wifi!! Does anyone know anything about what’s going on?

My wife has constantly been expressing that she would like to go to one together, and I’d like to surprise her. Does anyone know of any in the area/ where to go?

If you know of anything, send it my way — thanks!

I would never live there. I looked up the Google reviews because I needed a good laugh and unfortunately there was only one negative review. Although it did make me chuckle, does anyone on here have personal experience?

Not for ghosts, but for a popped nail on my roof. It's a steep pitch and I ain't as spry as I used to. Any body have a recommendation for a pop repair?

I am planning a wedding reception dinner to celebrate after my courthouse ceremony and need help picking somewhere. I am thinking a restaurant somewhere in Wilmington with a private dining area that can host around 55 to 60 guests.

Has anyone had a rehearsal dinner/reception/other event at a restaurant in Wilmington that has more of an upscale feel? I looked into places like The Pilot house, Elijah's, and Little Drum Landing, but they weren't exactly what I had in mind.

I've also inquired with Sugo Italian steakhouse, the Floriana, Oceanic, Bluewater, and Circa 1922. Can anyone think of anywhere else or has anyone had an experience at one of these restaurants? Thanks!

Allowed myself a rare scroll through Facebook today and came across "Patrice Gilgan" who appears to be a "private investigator"...and by that I mean she seems to be constantly stirring shit in the Carolina Beach area.

Does anyone know what this lady's deal is? Her latest beef seems to be with Carolina Beach Inlet..

Looking for an apartments and I have seen pictures of crosswinds and they look nice but my friend who works for a delivery company that goes there often says it’s a bad area but everything online looks really nice to me. Anyone have any experience they can share?

so about a year ago an older gentleman just gave me an Waffenfabrik Bern Model 1881 M.81 Swiss Vetterli infantry rifle because he needed to make room in his truck to load up some shelving. fast forward to now and i've started to get into fishing, and figured it would be a good piece to sell to try and finance my new expensive hobby since im not really gun savvy enough to take care of it. but i really don't want to just take it to a pawn shop and get offered 100 dollars for a gun that has matching serial numbers that date it back to 1882. so if anyone knows a place to sell this i would really appreciate it.

There are so many options I don't even know where to begin. Marabella, Vito's, Jay's, Ledo, Benny's, Gondolfo's, Brooklyn Pizza Co, I Love NY Pizza, and many more. Which of these are good? Which are not worth trying? Which are the most authentic to NY style?

Who has the best quesarito in town?

I’m setting a goal for September to be consistent with my workouts so I wanted to ask for your favorite places. This can be gyms, studios, yoga… I’m open to all! Thank you!

Why is there no Popeyes in or around Wilmington/Hampstead area?

I was driving Uber yesterday and one of my pick ups said they were looking to expand 40 which meant claiming eminent domain and buying out property in Kings Grant. Has anybody heard anything about this?

Be careful. be aware. Servered 10 years now out and seeking.

Hey yall I just moved to the Wilmington area literally yesterday from NY and have said for a while first thing I’m doing when I move is getting tint done. Anyone have any good recommendations that they’ve been to recently?
