Wilmington Skyline
Need a ship right out of the early 1600’s? A town full of authentic 18th and 19th century homes facing a mile-wide river? Classic English-style churches and graveyards? Beautiful, unspoiled, hilly countryside alongside a gorgeous small river with lots of dams and millraces? Operating Stanley Steamer automobiles and water-powered mills? Spectacular mansions, fountains and gardens that save you the cost of a trip to France? Outstanding spring and fall foliage? Dark mushroom houses?
How about a steam railroad –- or the latest Amtrack high-speed express? A modern cityscape? Small drawbridges –- or one of the world’s busiest dual-span suspension bridges (with a unique Harley dealership)? An airport and service facility for corporate jets and military craft? A busy seaport with ocean-going freighters and huge warehouses?
Looking for a luxury hotel in the Grand Style of the early 1900’s? The finest deluxe neighborhoods, or communities of rowhouses? How about some that can double for New York or Boston neighborhoods? Museums with some of the most recognizable American art? A theatre with a gingerbread façade and a scrumptious interior? Modern malls? Restaurants, from the best subs to a full five diamonds? A 6500-seat baseball stadium? A university campus and a 21,000-seat football stadium –- or a nearby NASCAR arena that seats 120,000? Marshlands, or sandy Atlantic beaches?
