"Every Picture Tells a Story ... Don't it:" The Southern North Carolina Coast: Part I | Eastern North Carolina Now


    The long boardwalk that traverses most of Wilmington's waterfront acts as an access corridor for many of Wilmington's finest restaurants: Above. The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge is here at the southern extremity of Wilmington's waterfront: Below.


    The wonder of older southern cities like Wilmington is not only the architecture, but the masonry barrier of fine walls fencing out the world: Above. Wilmington, which suffered so little relative damage from the ravages of the War Between the States still has so much of its structures still standing: Below.


    A most eclectic assortment of homes and business structures are erected along the 3rd street promenade, as well as all the streets that are perpendicular from this well traveled street. There is as great a variety of Victorian, Georgian, and Federal style architectural structures as there is in any city of North Carolina: Above and Below.

    Downtown Wilmington is bustling with specialty shops, restaurants and tourists: Above and Below.

    Along these many city streets, such as Third Street and the many streets at right angles off it leading down to the Cape Fear River, there are so many quaint shops and trees shading the store fronts and the folks finding their way through their doors: Above and below.

    Along this street, Water Street, there are a plethora of shops and eateries leading down to waters edge and the pleasure craft that spends so many hours ferrying folks up and down the great river: Above and below.
