About four weeks ago, I moved from the Houston area to
Wilmington to be with my family and begin a new chapter
in my life. With a population of just over one-hundred thousand, this
quaint, coastal city on the banks of the Cape Fear River is quickly
growing on me.
I've come to appreciate this city on many levels, the foremost of which
is its history. Although much smaller in terms of size and population,
Wilmington is older than Houston by a century, and nearly forty years
older than the country it's in!
What is even more
impressive, in my opinion, is the city's enduring effort to preserve
that history. In the last few decades, the
city has invested heavily in preserving its
historic buildings. The result is an alluring, vibrant downtown area that, unlike many other cities across America, remains the beating heart of the city.
