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.
Also, be sure to see my Historic Wilmington Webshots Album.
Other times I ride my bicycle around the University
District. CLICK HERE to see photos of that area.

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.
