I remember growing up in wilmington i used to go to wrightsville beach and not have to pay to park. Now i have a 15 minute walk to the beach after being yelled at by some yankee about not walking on his property. They waste all this tax revenue on their liberal crap like ticketing smokers and chasing away locals. I go to freeman park now and find the people and beach FAR more friendly. If you get stuck, someone will help you. At wrightsville some yankee would report you to the gestipo.
