Good Morning Wilmington

Today, we mourn the loss of a true baseball icon, Brooks Robinson. Known as the "Human Vacuum Cleaner" for his unparalleled skills at third base, Robinson's legacy extends far beyond the diamond. His remarkable career with the Baltimore Orioles not only redefined the position but also captured the hearts of fans around the world. As we reflect on his life and incredible contributions to the sport, we remember a man whose dedication, sportsmanship, and enduring love for the game will forever be etched in baseball history. Brooks Robinson, you will always have a special place in the hearts of fans, and your indelible mark on the sport will continue to inspire generations to come.

In today’s PortCityPulse:

  • Military cutoff extension opens

  • Less trips to DMV?

  • Ponch to visit Wilmington

News

Military Cutoff Road Extension set to open tomorrow!

After six years and $95 million the extension connecting Market Street to NC 140 is set to open tomorrow. Hopefully this will significantly reduce traffic on Market Street. Let’s not forget those 220 homes that were displaced for the right-of-way.

NC driver’s license renewal extended

Recently ratified NC budget bill doubles the amount of time you will have to wait to get your license renewed. DMV not happy as this may conflict with the federal Real ID Act. Otherwise this means smaller lines and less interaction with DMV offices.
