Don't worry, you'll get annexed. That's what the City of Wilmington does when there's more growth in areas of the county. Look at all the growth that's been happening in that area with the new development on River Rd, the new Harris Teeter, got to include Walmart too. The City wants that tax base. Guess we'll just have to follow in the Boston Tea Party's footsteps-taxation without representation. Too bad it didn't end with the tea party. Remember election time voters, get out to vote, don't let anything get in your way plus attend the meetings, call your legislature, be persistent, bug the council & mayor till they get sick of you then call them again & again & again & again, etc., etc. etc.
