• Fresh Shrimp at Masonboro Country Store

  

  Nice guy named Mike has set up shop in the back of his truck for the first day this year with some great fresh shrimp (Head on, 3.50 a pound)

• Discussion: Port City Java?

  Their owners misuse and embezzle money, then abscond; employees report terrible work conditions and management pressures; management reports similar pressure from upper management (and so on); they’ve apparently either licensed their name or franchised themselves to create some 350 new PCJs in Asia (?!); local competitors, such as the now-closed Folks Cafe, describe arrogant, Walmart-like [...]

• Gifts from our Port City

  

• Local Catch

  

  Here’s a goal for all Wilmingtonians: Eat more local seafood. Not only is it delicious, with a variety of textures, tastes and a sea-salty aroma that people travel miles to experience; eating local seafood also supports Southeastern North Carolina’s most prized, albeit diminishing, industry.

• Fresh produce, fresh air

  We had someone else’s paper delivered to us this morning in a rain sleeve. I’m glad we did. We’re about to resubscribe to the paper after a long period of thinking it’s just too much paper, especially with no curb-side recycling in our area (yet; we’re working on it).

• Inside910.com

  We were contacted by a website the other day with what looks like a good idea:
  Inside910.com is a search engine that registers only local websites and services, and then makes them available google style in a simple search bar.
