[KK Allin]

[Hunter]

Go eat at Slice of Life!

[chrischarge]

Places of interest:
Tidal Creek
Lovey's Market (very very awesome supermarket in Landfall shopping center, better bulk and salad bar than Tidal's)
Nikky's (disappointing in a lot of ways but vegan-friendly as far as wilmington goes...)
Longleaf Cycles
Two Wheeler Dealer
Zaki Grill (in carolina beach- decent falafel)
Country Fresh produce
Huerta's produce
Los Portales supermarket
Gravity Records
Lula's (if you drink)
Java Dogs (coffee, fuck port city java)
Bella's coffee
Majic Beanz (coffee in carolina beach)
4-wheeling on the N. end of Carolina Beach and camping overnight there too
kayaking at Ft. Fisher, banks channel in Wrightsville Beach, and the black river downtown
Greenfield Lake (running, cycling, paddling, kayaking, best when migrating birds flock there)
Getting on top of the roof at building on Front st. by the river...

Amazing!!! Is this city bike friendly? Fuck it if its not, I'm riding anyways. And I've been to Java Dogs, pretty good. The supermarket suggestions are awesome, I'm not officially vegan, but I try to eat a mostly vegan diet, so that's really helpful.

Thanks Chris, seriously appreciated. I'm sure I'll run into you at some point as well.

And Hunter, Slice of Life is the pizza joint right on Market, right? It was one of the first places I stumbled across last week, and its backed, hard.

I Love NY Pizza isn't too shabby either in terms of pizza, but they only take cash.

Also, Flaming Amy's is really good if you want a burrito/texmex.

I wish Nikki's still had their half off Sake bottle deal.

ok, so riding bikes- I love any part of 5th st. be very wary of front st. where the train tracks are south of the bridge they are no fucking joke and take people down EVERY week, Princess st rules hard too, castle is ok cause it connects to THE GREENWAY which is hard to describe...starts off Castle you have to follow the signs but its way worth it, you can take all the way to Oleander past Tidal creek. All you have to do is ride over the sketchy bridge on Oleander and turn right to get to Wrightsville by bike. Over by UNCW McMillan is an ok ride, you can cut through campus and get to Park real easy, and from what I hear the entire Smith Creek Parkway is supposed to be an awesome bike ride, but it's a few miles long. Finally independence is alright for getting N. and S. across town and 17th st is actually pretty legit as long as it's at night.

I can't wait to check all that out.

Now, what about tattoo shops?

tattoo shops: port city and glenns
as far as anything else, i dont really know. i eat the same shit all the time and just sit at home

[chrischarge]

Marks of Distinction
Jade Monkey
Port City
Wilmington Tattoo

not a fan of Hardwire (except Cameron rules) or Cape Fear Tattoo or any of the million shitty new-ass tattoo shops that open up every year, tattoo a bunch of frat boys and close. ugh

Finally I would have to say Sarah Peacock who owns Art Fuel probably reins supreme as far as international notoriety, price per hour, and waiting list. She has a sweet gallery/tattoo shop on 17th.
