PCP TUE JUL 16: VP Pick - JD Vance
IN THIS ISSUE: UNC’s Wilson Library features currency exhibit | The Runarounds begins filming in Wilmington
Good morning Wilmington!
The RNC has started and Donald Trump picked his running mate, JD Vance. When I heard this I thought, “Why is it that I have barely heard of this guy and don’t know anything about him.” But then I learned that he was the author of the memoir book “Hillbilly Elegy” which was made into a movie about his life. I saw this and it was a great movie–so I guess I do know JD Vance better than I realized.
It’s looking like we have the potential for a lot of stormy weather coming our way–possibly starting tonight. Of course that can all change!

On Friday I posted a “Where am I.” The answer was Hi-Wire Brewing.
CLUE 1: There was a doctor in the house.
Jill Biden stopped in a week ago during her visit to Wilmington
CLUE 2: There's a fine line between right and wrong answers. Getting the correct answer is no small feat!
CLUE 3: Step right in to have a beer but don’t you dare fall!

I stopped in to see what it’s all about. It’s a large open space with 20 beers on tap. Hi-Wire features a large indoor bar, pub tables and chairs Lots of seating for larger groups, three pingpong tables, shuffleboard, an oversized pool table with soccer balls and garage doors open to outdoor tables with umbrellas and corn hole. This is a great spot for a large party or meetup.

Here’s today’s issue–
Attempted Assassination on Donald Trump
