Greetings from the UK!
My situation is this:
I'm an American, living in the UK,(for the last 3 yrs),and married to a British citizen and we are moving to Wilmington, NC.
Before I was married I lived in Wilmington for about 5 years, so I'm roughly familier with the general area to some degree...
I do have family there, in fact the main reason for moving back is that my Dad is in poor health...and I miss him and the rest of my family...
Of course my family will endeavour to help as much as they can but we are trying to do as much 'research' as possible from over here.
We hope to be back in the states asap, which means, hopefully within 2-3 months, depending on how the immigration stuff goes.
Questions re: housing i.e places to rent...
Any (new) housing 'complexes' in decent areas which rents for a 2 BR around the $500-700 mo. rent?
Preferably not in a 'flood prone' area, and with the basic amenities like pool etc.
I really would love to get a 3 BR for that amount but I'm sure I'm dreaming!
Before I moved, I lived in a quaint little place called, 'Chateau Terrace Apartments', which we will definately check out...
Some of my family reside in the 'Ogden' area and the others are close to the UNCW area.
My husband & I would ideally like to find somewhere in the middle to be close to everyone.
Are there any places to definately stay away from?
Here in the UK, we have a thriving chocolate fountain hire business, (www.chocolatejoy.co.uk) (broken link), which we are reluctant to leave behind but...
Another question:
Does anyone think Wilmington is chocolate fountain-ed out?
Has the craze gone away or do you think there is room for a fun chocolate fountain hire company?
Are there any radio stations, (christian preferred) hiring for a experienced DJ/presenter, with a fab British accent?
Sure, I know we need to do our part, i.e. reading the classifieds like everyone else, and we are doing just that...but, it doesn't hurt to put the word out
OK, I'm done now...in case anyone is even still reading this post!
but...lots of questions, and 'so little time'...
Thanks alot for taking the time to read all of this and any ideas/suggestions etc would be really appreciated!
Cheers,
Kelly (the American)
