The way everyone is covering the groundbreaking I guess you want the people of Wilmington to be happy. Well, lets see we are getting a convention center that nobody really wants. Lets face the facts, we don't have the draw to get people to Wilmington like Myrtle Beach has. Ok now some are going to say our beaches, but lets look at it from a whole. Myrtle Beach has a lot of great golf courses, they have wonderful shopping and now that they started the amusement park we really can't compete. Now in the long run when the convention center falls, the city will just up our taxes to cover their mistake. Now I understand why the new home growth is in Brunswick County. The people in this city and the county are tired of paying for mistakes.
