Busiest intersection in Wilmington to be revamped
WILMINGTON, NC (StarNews) — Anna Patsalos’ daily drive to work on South College Road has slowed considerably over the last four decades.
As the co-owner of Jimbo’s restaurant, which sits just south of the intersection of College Road and Oleander Drive, Patsalo has watched from the roadside eatery’s window as traffic along the corridor swelled in recent years.
It’s in stark contrast to when Jimbo’s first opened its doors in 1977, a time when Patsalos said getting through the area was not a battle.
“There was no traffic at all,” she said. “It was just country then, almost 40 years ago. But then I-40 brought (in the traffic).”
