and if i go to downtown wilmington, I also pay to park. Don't recall having to pay to park in NEW hanover county though, hmmmmmmmm. And what services would you be referring to? The ones I already get from the county? No sir, you want me to pay for what you use, not I. I don't even shop at the walmart in wilmington anymore. I go to leland. So once again, tell me, what are the benefits of me becoming a member of the city.
