The Wilmington River Walk

Out along the Atlantic, warmed by the Gulf Stream, Wilmington Beach makes its living as a resort, a busy port and an aspiring movie capital. In autumn, the storybook oak-lined streets of Wilmington are cool and quiet.

Asheville is an Appalachian Shangri-La. This year-round resort town, tucked between the

Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, draws a funky mix of New Agers, fleece-clad mountain

bikers, and antiques lovers. Charming yet surprisingly cosmopolitan for a town of

about 73,000, Asheville has a Southern appeal all its own. From cafes to buzzing

bistros, Art Deco skyscrapers and arcades reminiscent of Paris, Kayaking and one of the

world's largest private homes — the Biltmore Estate, a French Renaissance-style mansion

with 250 rooms.

… no wonder so many locals first started

out as tourists.

Professional Hockey Team

“The Hurricanes' performance gave the franchise its first National Hockey League championship, and for the second time in a row, a Sunbelt team was able to stop a team from Alberta.” NHL website.

Two trips to the Stanley Cup finals and one win turned something around in the tobacco state, because what I saw there really surprised me. Genuine, crazy, knowledgeable hockey fans.
