For them to be able to lose all sense of reality implies that they had a sense of reality to begin with and I just don't think they ever had it. As it is, where I am it is more feasible for me to go down to Myrtle Beach and watch the Pelicans. They are very family friendly and affordable. The roads there are better and I can get gas cheaper.

The city council in Wilmington should be focusing their energy and money on essential items. Since I no longer live there, I don't know what all the needs are. I do know that they have cut city jobs. Last year they justified the bonuses because the employees were taking on extra duties because of the jobs they have cut. Instead of pouring money into something that Wilmington doesn't need, why not hire some of these people. One thing that I have noticed the past few times I have been in Wilmington is that the roads are horrible, absolutely horrible. Our roads here in Shallotte are better than the Wilmington roads. Improving Wilmington's roads would be a much better use of the taxpayers' money than a ballpark that the city does not need.
