yes.

And these "cheaper than savannahs" & "raleigh sucks monkey balls" claims sound like maaaaaybe slightly half baked selection criteria.

and unfortunately if you spend more than 5 minutes in wilmington you will invariably need to be on at least 1 of those streets

even military cutoff is a fucking disaster these days

Yeh, I lived in Wilmington from 1994 to 2002 (and then somewhat between 2002-2005 when I was in College) and traffic has gotten worse every year. I haven't been back since Fall '06 and dont plan on going back - I can only imagine how bad it is now.

Everything else was pretty good about it - multiple beaches, nice restaurants, nice downtown, some places are fairly cheap for housing (ie UNCW), and a relatively young crowd.

The thing about Wilmington traffic isn't necessarily that it's heavy or slow - although it is. It's the fact that you'll almost be killed by some idiot every single time you drive somewhere.

ha that defensive driving course isn't going to do shit for you in wilmington. hell, you can't even go out and drive on the north end of carolina beach in peace anymore. And now all the fuckers have found my spots on oak island.

Another thing about Wilmington is that some of the locals talk like this.
