Local struggling/closing restaurants need to be real with themselves

With an influx of closing and almost closing restaurants, I need these business owners to really take a look at their total package. Is the economy fucked? Yes. I get that there are many factors leading to struggles, but restaurants who are constantly packed are packed because the product is good. Look at On Thyme for example. Kitchen Sink is begging people for business on social media so they can stay afloat. Their products and service suck. Beat Street announced "end of an era". 3 years is not an era and you produce shitty overpriced food in the Cargo District which is an asshat of an operation in itself. Look at other food businesses around you, get a mentor, do something other than catering to what you THINK people want.

Old spots locals have memories of

Jubilee Park, The Mad Monk, Middle of the Isle - I got nostalgic and started thinking of places that don’t exist anymore, but were legendary and bring up great memories.

Even buisness that won’t mean anything unless you were here in 70s, 80s, etc. Newels, Berts Surf Shop, etc. Would love to hear folks’ favorites.

Lunch Recommendations

Hello! I am getting married next year and will be going dress shopping next Tuesday. I’d like to go out to lunch with everyone after. What are some of your favorite restaurants? I’d like it to be on the “nicer” side, but not break the bank nice.

looking for 3rd space with at&t

my Wi-Fi at home and work has been absolutely crap since the storm on Sunday and I have got to get some things done. Does anyone know of a coffee shop or other third space that has AT&T fiber instead of spectrum?

The first licensed Black attorney in N Carolina history (George Mabson, 1871) finally got his historical marker yesterday, after an application to have him honored was rejected 21 years ago. Video of the unveiling in the rain. Link to WHQR article.

DOG FOUND TODAY

This dog came up to our car during today’s storm, spooked by the thunder and lighting I assume.

He’s very sweet. Seems to be maybe a lab/pit mix with a black coat and white and black feet.
He has a blue collar and two leashes, one of them being a camo print.

He was found on S 2nd St in downtown Wilmington.

If anyone is able to foster him until we can locate the owner it would be so appreciated!! We already have 3 dogs and a cat at my house.
