🩷 EVERYBODY PLEASE GO TO WILMINGTON DISCOVERY MAP ON INSTAGRAM TO FIND LINKS FOR WAYS TO DONATE AND SUPPORT THOSE AFFECTED BY HURRICANE HELENE 🩷

You guys are fucking VILE. I don’t know what is compelling you guys to take up this cause of assuring everyone Hurricane Helene was not as bad as it is, but it’s fucking WILD. I can’t believe my eyes. I have a few loved ones in Asheville and LUCKILY they are safe, but they all sustained damage. And okay, so a lot of people are okay, A LOT OF PEOPLE AREN’T. A lot of people lost their homes, businesses, dreams, lives. So shut the fuck up and let people mourn, be angry if they need to, and let other people have their opinions. The amount of people who said there’s “misinformation”??? About a hurricane??? Who the fuck cares? As long as you’re alive people are going to lie and say shit that’s not true, LEARN TO DEAL WITH THAT.

Bloody fucking Christ I WISH all of you guys had your full names and your place of work under these anonymous usernames, because that’s the only reason you’re saying this shit on here, because you’re anonymous. It is so incredibly deplorable to be downplaying a natural disaster when people are suffering so badly out there. Have you seen the roads? Have you seen river arts district? To say it wasn’t that bad WTF??? I can only assume this has to do with politics and that is exactly how you know the polarization has gone too far.

Heading to CB boardwalk. Any reccomendations?

Hey everyone - my gf loves to cook and I thought it would be a good idea to get her a custom chefs knife for our upcoming anniversary. I saw an old post on here but it looks like the top recommendation Forge & Foundry may not be open anymore … does anyone have any other recommendations?

I was originally looking to see if anywhere still did a pizza buffet. I know Cici’s closed, and no Pizza Hut seems to do it anymore. But while Googling “all you can eat pizza buffet wilmington nc”, it returns a ton of options I am fairly sure are not true.

So then I’m wondering who has pizza by the slice, and I’m suspicious of Google results. I know Slice of Life, as I’ve eaten there before. But for everyone else, I can’t tell from their websites. Who does pizza by the slice, and who do you think is the best around?

Sincerely an asthmatic whose house is filled with smoke 🥲

Would anyone know where in Wilmington or surrounding area I might be able to sell signed copies of books and ephemera that I've collected over the last thirty years or so. I have Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, William S. Burroughs, Alice Walker, and Anne Rice. Please don't suggest Fuzzy Needle as they are not interested in signed books. Thanks for any insights!

I'm starting a small (40 breeder) reef tank backup after a rather long break. I plan to eventually start my big tank up but just doing this small one first. I went into Petco for the first time in years yesterday but it looks about like I remember it... I know the Fish Room has closed and I assume Coastal Reef is still open. I had heard there was one near Shipyard somewhere. I was kinda curious if anyone around Wilmington was still running a saltwater tank because I was looking a small piece of live rock to help start my cycle. I eventually will be looking frags and I have a friend that lives near Greenville that will hook me up a little when I'm finally up and running. I had looked on Facebook market and craigslist but figured I'd ask on Reddit.i have a good bit of experience in reef tanking but didn't want to cold call anyone in my phone book just yet. If anyone has a tank up and running and willing to come off of a small piece of live rock please let me know. Thanks

I have a dual VCR/DVD player that is in partial working order. The VCR doesn’t work and started to eat the last VHS I put in it. Any small appliance repair shops around Wilmington/Brunswick County that could repair a VCR?

Best place around here to catch baby sharks?

Asheville still needs water. They also need warm clothes - it gets colder up there faster than it does here.

Twice this fall I’ve used this road driving to the beach and noticed both times on the second bridge the compass in my car will switch from W to E and back a couple times. Anyone else? What’s the deal w/ this?

I am embarrassed to have to ask this as I think it is a sign of my brain getting older. What was the name of the big, popular nightclub downtown on Market Street? I believe it had changed names a few times, but I am trying to remember from like 97 to 99. I remember Katie Holmes used to go there regularly when she was in town filming "Dawson's Creek." I was a regular there and for the life of me cannot remember its name.

I’m coming to visit for the first time since moving to clt and my dad said there was just a new barbecue place built near the pointe??? City barbecue?? I guess it’s a chain place but I’ve never seen one or heard of it.

Has anyone been yet? What’s the verdict lol

Lost Nissan Altima keys 10/4 at long leaf park! Has a lobster 🦞 keychain.

Tomorrow at noon, 2:00pm, and 4:00pm, Chain Reaction will be offering BMX Stunt Shows featuring Ryan Nyquist, Ryan Guettler, Alex Johann, and Trevor Heimbach. Nyquist is one of the greatest bike riders, literally ever, and was the head coach of the USA Olympic BMX Freestyle team in 2020 and 2024. Ryan Guettler is a Dew Tour Champion, X Games Medalist, and one of the only people who can say they rode for MirraCo. Johann is one of the best to ever do it and a modern day celeb in certain NC subcultures. My favorite rider Heimbach is some home brewed talent, we call him the Mayor of Monkey Junction. If you've never seen someone backflip a bike before come watch the shows!

The City of Wilmington is joining with Ben Folds, Live Nation, and many other partners to host a hurricane relief concert on Tuesday, 29 October 2024 at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater.

In addition to Ben Folds as the headliner, artists from WNC will perform and share first-hand accounts of what the region is experiencing.

100% of proceeds will benefit local charities assisting with emergency food, housing, and home repairs through the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund.

Save the date for 10/29 at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater; more details and ticket information coming soon!

I am in my 60’s. I would like to get a small tattoo of something personal to me. I know my age/skin might be a bit challenging. Who would you recommend? I will not be offended if I am turned down in person. I know you can leave some things too late.

I don’t really mind them, except when crossing the bridge to Wrightsville. If you have a bulky ass electric bike capable of doing 25-40mph you don’t need to be on the sidewalk while crossing the bridge.

As a cyclist that kinda follows the rules on occasion 😝 the bridge walkway says no bikes meaning you need to walk it across

You can easily stay on the road and go with the flow of traffic and have no business riding the sidewalk

People in the Asheville area (and of course beyond) are still without power and will be without water for WEEKS. Just wanted to pass on the update that price gouging is seriously affecting the people up there, and survival gear is something that has skyrocketed in price but is greatly needed.

Anybody know where they are hiding the cell phone parking lot at ILM?

I have 4 tickets for tomorrow and will let them go for less than face value if anyone is interested

What is currently the most high end luxury modern hotel in Wilmington? Beach front not required. Downtown is fine. Not looking for a kid friendly hotel as we are just two adults. Trying to avoid dated, stodgy hotels with carpeted floors.

move out of the way of QRVs. QRVs are quick response vehicles that have a paramedic on board. these vehicles are equipped with lots of medical equipment for emergencies. move the fuck out of their way, i’m so sick of watching people just drive in front of them and trying to race them. pretty simple.

Just moved to Wilmington (30M). Don’t know a soul down here. One thing I’ve noticed about Wilmington is there seems to be a club for just about anything. Curious if there’s a group or club of younger, as in the median age isn’t 60, veterans out there. I’d love to start networking and find a good group to hang out with.

Now that the strikes ended last night…

What are you gonna do with all those paper products and milk sandwiches?

I have thick wavy hair and am female. Help!

Long shot, but figured there’s gotta be someone else in here who uses the same pharmacy and might have some info. Any of those folks here and know why, or for how long, the pharmacy at this location will be closed?

I’ve been out of town for 2 weeks and trying to get a medication filled for a month… finally got it (partially) filled yesterday, just for the pharmacy to be “temporarily closed” until further notice the day before I come back to pick it up 🥲
