I thought so hard about that choice my head started to hurt.
I chose Wilmington.
I can stay at the Hilton
I can dive right off the Riverwalk into the Cape Fear
I can eat at Ruth Chris'
I can play pitch and putt on the vacant Shoninger property

And after the first night:
I'd be broke from my food bill
I'd be picking the leeches off me from the River
I'd have irritated eyes from the ammonia vapors on Shoningers property
But I'd at least have a nice room.

No - I do see your point (I don't think MB airport is all that much better than ILM though)

Of course MB CC is hurting too.
And I don't think it has anything to do with Wilmingtons CC.
BTW - did you catch the picture in this story? The car show?
I thought THAT was going to be at the stadium? No?
*SIGH* another open date at the CC...........caused by the ball park
