Several times during my visit with Paul D’Angelo of the Wilmington Wine Shoppe (google map), I had to resist the urge to reach over the counter and pinch him just to make sure he was real. Paul is now the solo owner of the store and he is absolutely charming. With a background in the […]
The unique Gullah-Geechee culture, once prominent along coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina, is fading fast, but Brunswick officials hope to change that.

Would anyone care to contribute any good, bad or indifferent experiences with local health care providers? In 3+ years my doctor visits have fortunately been limited to a semi-emergency requiring a tetanus shot after being pierced by a rusty nail, and a routine physical.
