Summer Offerings

Summer Offerings

Amos Lee has a new song out that I can’t get enough of: “Windows Are Rolled Down.” It makes me think of summer and everything the Port City has to offer both locals and visitors alike.

Local roadside produce stands and farmers markets. I know, I have talked about them in the past, but a fresh, juicy peach on a hot summer’s day is just about perfection.

Swimming pools & beaches. Whether you ride waves or prefer a fish-free swim, Wilmington has you covered (she types as she thinks about the freshly uncovered YWCA pool). If you want the feel of a lake, try driving out on Carolina...

The 15th Annual Pleasure Island Chowder Cook Off

Six of my favorite words regarding Pleasure Island (Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Fort Fisher) are “The Pleasure Island Chowder Cook Off.” Just the memory of sampling the local fare is enough to get my mouth watering and my taste buds jumping. My last visit not only resulted in my best friend and I voting for the winner (Carolina Beach’s own Surfhouse) but in earning a delightful lobster necklace that still hangs from my truck’s rearview mirror. With live music, a kid zone and 8 local restaurants doling out samples (plus other food vendors once yo...
