AMC Shutting down
Ryan Nyquist & Patrick McHenry Representing

Good Morning Wilmington
Today was much calmer than yesterday in politics and congress. Jim Jordan threw his hat in for Speaker of the House. Other contenders are the temporary Speaker, NC’s Patrick McHenry and Donald Trump–but I would think he’s the longest of long shots. The way things are right now, who knows!
On the local front, AMC is shutting down, Novant Health is reducing 160 positions–AND if you’ve been waiting for a reason to start your political career, New Hanover County seeking applicants for boards and committees.
If you’re trying to plan your weekend–whether for Oktoberfest or Riverfest– it’s looking pretty nice. We have a chance of storms on Saturday due to a cold front…but you know how that goes. It looks like the front will leave temps significantly cooler on Sunday with a low of 48º!

Wilmington local will be inducted into the National BMX Hall of Fame
Wilmington's Ryan Nyquist, a BMX racing icon, will be inducted into the National BMX Hall of Fame on October 7, 2023, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nyquist, a 16-time X Games medalist and current Head Coach for Team USA's BMX freestyle program, has played a pivotal role in the sport's evolution. He moved to Wilmington in 2018 and continues to train with his personal ramp. The induction process involves public nominations, committee selections, and expert voting, recognizing Nyquist's immense impact on BMX.
NC Represenative Patrick McHenry is temp speaker
[WECT] McCarthy named McHenry, a Charlotte-area Republican, as his temporary replacement following a 216-to-210 vote to remove McCarthy from the chamber's top leadership role, a move pushed by hard-line Republicans angry with McCarthy for working with Democrats last week to avoid a government shutdown.
