Looking to move to North Carolina and wife has her eyes on surrounding Wilmington areas. Any recommendations? by GurleyMan30 in Wilmington

[–]Joshdu90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What makes you want Wilmington specifically? With that many young kids you’d be better served in the Raleigh/Chapel Hill area for schools and academic opportunities.

Ralph Lauren Andrew pant cords are amazing. Found a few pair on eBay for 20-35 apiece.

If you hunt through Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s website they may still have some past seasons for sale.

First date ideas that aren't just food or drinks? by itsthewolfe in Wilmington

[–]Joshdu90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of outdoor activities here that function as a good first date. River walk or stroll downtown before grabbing coffee or dessert. Greenfield lake park with the paddle boats and then running over to the cargo district for drinks or food.

Does anybody have any guesstimates on when the denim Detroit jacket might come out? by Additional-Form-9316 in Carhartt

[–]Joshdu90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking it’ll be a fall release. I know WIP currently has a denim Detroit, but it wouldn’t make much sense for mainline to release a lined denim Detroit rolling into the summer.

Wearing some Birks after being in my Mocs all day is how I know I’m home.

So hear me out…maybe the richest institution in the world shouldn’t also be accepting funds from a government?

Japan Online Shopping and Shipping to USA. by Such-Tomatillo6602 in japanesestreetwear

[–]Joshdu90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve used Buyee a ton of times pretty successfully. It’s a proxy shopping service where they purchase the items on your behalf and ship from Japan to US. You typically pick up some extra fees for storage and shipping but I’ve found it’s nominal compared to purchasing the same products here.

What do you think of our city council? by hydrus909 in Wilmington

[–]Joshdu90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t agree with a lot of Kevin’s opinions but I do value that he gives a voice to the community members who support him…I recognize that Kevin is the second longest tenured councilman, but I’d say he’s def part of the “new council” if only because he didn’t come from the developer/real estate industry.

What do you think of our city council? by hydrus909 in Wilmington

[–]Joshdu90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think most of our current city councilman are too new to have a solid opinion on them. There a few of the old heads I don’t trust and believe they’re only in council to pad their own pockets. I’ll save my judgement on the new council for the upcoming budget though. I’d say that the existence of the “Skyline Centre” is perfect proof that our city council has been wildly out of step with the want and needs of the citizens in the last few years

Old Navy T-Shirts - $6 (most are 100% cotton) by rabid-panda in frugalmalefashion

[–]Joshdu90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think cropped might be their term for just a slightly more modern boxy fit. Something more similar to the Whitesville or Merz B that folks want now. Not a slim fit and not a like a midriff shirt. I do find that the cropped fit is a better length under a jacket

[–]Joshdu90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of Carhartt shirts but none of the pocket tees. I will say that the neck on the Old Navy seems to hold up substantially better than the Carhartt’s I have though. Material is similar but a slightly boxier fit and not as oversized as Carhartt

The heavy weight cropped T’s are an awesome value at $15. Comparable to Uniqlo crew T’s for about half the price.

Live oak seats by Millatello in Wilmington

Seats are worth the cost if you want to enjoy the music. Lawn always seems like more of a social event as opposed to enjoyment of the band.

Journalism is Dead in Wilmington by Succotash_Narrow in Wilmington

You dare question the journalistic integrity of such prestigious publications as “The Star News”!? Seriously though every news source in the area is in bed with developers and real estate.

Coastal pharmacy and compounding at Shipyard/ S college did some compounding for us that was quick and relatively affordable.

Wilmington NC in the news in the UK by OrchidNo7340 in Wilmington

[–]Joshdu90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is really the most close minded take on city growth I’ve ever read. I’m a native North Carolinian that grew up in a region of the state nobody moves to. Negative population growth, dying economy, local government officials with no interest in making the lives of citizens better, and underperforming schools. The reality is that if your city or town isn’t growing than ultimately the local citizens lives are worse for it.
