If I were you I would take my own advice and "...move elswhere". We don't need whiners here. Wilmington is for the most part, a tourist town. Always has been, always will be. Quit belly-aching and start a business that serves tourism. But again, take your own advice and "save yourself the hassle", you can't cut it and will most likely fail only to blame it on others.

If you want opportunity, seek it elswhere in a place where the economy is better, manufacturing abounds and whining will get you someplace. That isn't here. Try China, perhaps central Siberia...
