Sometimes as Anna takes classes at the downtown Cape Fear Community College, I wander around and take photographs of the more fascinating parts of the historic district.
I'm starting with some of the historic homes, churches, and, inspired by
a popular local poster, doors.
Other times I ride my bicycle around the University
District. CLICK HERE to see photos of that area.
Spring of 2003, at the peak of the Azalea season,

enough doors for now
lets look at some of the homes.
One of several converted to a Bed and Breakfast.
The Carolina Cottage, on Third Street
There is a lot of sprucing up and restoration going on
Wilmington is a town of many beautiful trees as well as houses.
a house up for sale on Third Street
another historic district home all spruced up and offered for sale

Then, there is the other side of the tracks.
Just the other side of where the railroad tracks used to run to downtown Wilmington,
and only a few blocks from the above houses, are these, the shabbiest Wilmingtoln housing I've seen.
Note that the middle house is up for rent. To be fair, the two houses further in are not nearly as
run down as the near house, on the corner.
