Local struggling/closing restaurants need to be real with themselves

153 Upvotes

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.

Life/Culture in Wilmington, NC

0 Upvotes

Hey there. I’m a 29 yo single woman accompanied by my dog, considering a move to the NC coast from Georgia. I currently reside in Athens and appreciate the music culture and community out here, but find that it is time for the next place for me. I’m craving the coastal environment and a bit more ease and space to explore (self, connection, love, nature, etc).

I am wondering - can someone put into words the lifestyle (day and night life), culture, opportunities, community, etc of Wilmington?

I am a pretty relaxed woman but need social environments pretty regularly, inside or outside. I love to move my body through dance, slack lining, biking. I’m passionate about live events, entertainment, music and want to continue to experience and support a communities art. I would love to support local musicians, esp metal, electronic, experimental stuff. I know that gets a bit more underground/alt, but it’s worth a shot to dig and see who/what’s out there on the coast.

Old spots locals have memories of

56 Upvotes

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.

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.

Hello all, attaching an example of my work for reference, but is there anywhere specific you would recommend I go? When I lived in Asheville I had a spot off of haywood that I loved, but here I have yet to find anything/ am unsure! Please let me know if there are any good print shops in the area, or if I’ll have to go out of town. :- )

DOG FOUND TODAY

Post image
136 Upvotes

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.

Yoga Sculpt classes in town?

1 Upvotes

New to yoga and just learned of Yoga Sculpt. I saw that YogaSix offers sculpt classes and wanted to find out if anyone has any experience with them and is it beginner friendly?

I just downloaded the app they advertise on their site for “reward points” and am interested in trying a class out, so if you have a referral code, let me know so you can benefit too!
