The library itself is fantastic. It has anything you or your child might need. However the staff is…read morevery cruel. If you ask questions they are snappy and cold. I have had many encounters dealing with the women that work in that library being rude, one example is when I needed to re checkout a book since I only had a few more days to read it. The lady at the desk didn't say a word to me snaches my library card and then concludes by stating "next time do it online" however I was also there for the computers. So why should I not go a head and checkout the book? She could of explained kindly there was a way to do so online however again I was there for the computers. After I proceeded to the computers and began to print a new lady approaches me saying "you need to not use these computers again and use the ones downstairs. I will let you finish this time." in a malicious, superior tone. So I said "okay thank you for so kindly telling me that information!" I have never been so humiliated in my life! Rude! How dare anyone speak to anyone in such a manor! People need to realize that their words can impact someone's day. You never know how someone might be feeling and it's important to take that into consideration before you starting being rude. Think before you speak.

Came across the City of Wilmington thanks to some pictures posted by a Yelp friend. I…read morethought.....what the hell. I'm going to review this sucker. Now if you are not deep in to the Yelp world, you could be surprised that Yelpers will review about anything. It's not just stores, restaurants and the trades, but also cities, parks, downtowns, football stadiums, etc. Hell, I have even read reviews about "the winter snow of 2018" (WTH?), Dogs, Cats, etc.. Yes, it is amazing the crap we will review on here. So reviewing the City of Wilmington isn't as extreme as some of the examples I gave. What I am not exactly sure of with this entry is, is this the city government or the city itself as a whole? Who the hell knows man. I am going to wing it. The downtown area is a slam dunk 5 stars. I am rating this based on similar cities in the South of similar size. Love the history of the city, and the historic homes and businesses, The river walk is great (not as good as Savannah's but still very nice). The restaurant scene is vibrant. At least is was prior to the coronavirus coming along. Hope it comes back strong. Bars are good, with plenty of places to get an adult beverage. Shopping downtown is very good. Highly recommend the Cotton Exchange but don't over look the many other places. Parking is abundant and cheap. I just walk down from the house so screw parking. Outside of downtown is more of a 4 star. Mainly losing a star due to traffic. Good news is they got every store you want in town, east of downtown. Short drive from downtown to get to Wal-Mart, Lowes, clothings stores, etc.. Oh, and the beach. Quick drive from Wilmington to the beach. People are very friendly and have been very welcoming to me and my family. My only compliant is the crime in neighborhoods just outside of downtown. Hate to end on that note. Overall, Wilmington is a great midsize city to visit and live.

Washout flop. This is a beautiful city and the Riverwalk is a great asset but people who run this…read morecity starting with the Mayor really did a bad job tonight. Earlier today we stopped at the information booth on the Riverwalk and the lady behind the counter was very clear about where and what time the fireworks will be, no smiles but she was clear about the time 9pm and location: right in front of the "battleship". Well we had dinner and were there, right in front of the battleship at 8pm waited until 9:10pm and the fireworks started about ONE mile away on the river, we could barely see it, we could hear the noise but were very dissatisfied and disappointed. We know you are a very popular Mayor but you failed big time on this 249 anniversary of our Independence. That woman that should be told to smile said " fireworks will be visible from any point on the riverwalk" I took a picture of your City Hall and one of the Battleship that will serve as a reminder of your uselessness, you let down thousands of people by changing the location at the last minute

I do suggest leaving 2 hours before whatever reason you are coming in order to find a parking spot and not be late. I came for fingerprints and it wasn't clear on the website. All it is it was a fiasco me trying to find this place and even with an appointment it was a wait. Make sure to have ID also and whatever form was given. I can say I'm thankful for the police on the street for helping me!

Built in 1892 in downtown Wilmington, this historic courthouse is the seat of New Hanover County…read more It was designed by Alfred Eichberg, who also designed the Brunswick City Hall in 1889 and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. At the time of construction, it cost $72,000 and is in the Queen Anne style. I didn't have a court date and I'm not serving on a jury. I'm just touristing and checking it out. It's a stunning red brick building. Don't miss it. [Review 14340 overall, 1664 of 2020, number 2707 in North Carolina.]

Most areas are kind of confined, some more than others! The ladders can be a little challenging but just take it easier. I found it easiest to go down ladders (aka stairs) backwards, facing the steps. The signage could use improvement. Sometimes it was hard to know which way to go or how to exit.
