It's so weird to walk past all these old houses and every now and then there are beautiful gardens like this one here... I understand how it's so close to the water so the old days had plenty of irrigation. But, nowadays, with capitalization on tourists...Amazing.
It really says a lot about the city and the respect they have for nature and the beauty of the land.
I am a pretty simple ice cream kind of guy. Two scoops, vanilla or chocolate, in a cup does just fine for me. So I do not get off on all the flavors, but I do like the texture of Baskin Robbins.
My wife on the other hand, likes sprinkles and nuts and cherries; something in the line of a banana royal is right up her alley.
So after cruising around Wilmington/Wrightsville, seeing the sights, we stopped in to this B-and-R for a little break. Nice, Clean, counter service, to-go or at their little metal tables.
During the hot summer days, this place is usually packed. There are several locations around the city, but this one is located in the University Commons right beside UNC-Wilmington off of South College Road. You'll really feel like a local here. The sandwiches are sizable so you'll be satisfied. I usually get a Juniorboy Club on white. A bag of chips comes along with it and with a drink, I usually pay $6.98 (including tax). Makes you think that I go there often. lol. On cold winter nights, try the cream of potato soup in a bread bowl. I'm drooling just thinking about it. lol.
Historic Downtown was probably my favorite part of the trip. In the intersection of Market St (the main street) and 3rd street is a bunch of shops. They range from coffee shops to ice cream shops to clothing stores and art galleries. There are people drinking coffee at small tables and some getting a bite to eat. Others are walking around while some are on the benches taking it all in. And you'll see the big, beautiful horses carrying the tourist trolley around.
It's fun to watch it all and explore. Don't miss it!
The Latimer House is a bit difference because you don't just tour the inside, it's a meeting place for you to take walking tours of the downtown area. In addition to being open for tourists, it's home to the Lower Cape Fear Historical Society. At the website you'll see that there are a range of events planned through this group almost each weekend. I would highly reccommend the Light in the Night Tour in the month of December to see all the old houses lit up.
It's easily accessible, within walking distance, from the Riverwalk.
Guided tours of the Latimer House interpreted by our trained docents are available for $10.00 per person. Children may tour the home for $5.00. Members are welcome free of charge. The Latimer House is located at the corner of Third and Orange Streets in downtown Wilmington. Tickets for all three house museums in Wilmington—the Latimer House, the Bellamy Mansion, and the Burgwin-Wright House—are available for $24.00 from any of the museums.
The house is open for tours at the following times:
Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m.
Saturday, 12:00 p.m. — 5:00 p.m.
The last tour begins at 3:30pm.
The Society also sponsors walking tours of downtown Wilmington. The walking tour lasts approximately 2 hours and covers 12 blocks of the historic district. Each house and building on the walk has its own story that is told and it truly shows life in the past and the present. The price per person is $10.00, or $7.00 for groups of twenty or more.
