ICYMI – STRs, UNCW, development, and more [Free]

After Wilmington’s short-term rental was shot down by a Superior Court judge, Carolina Beach decided to hold off on regulating its own STRs.

The new policy prohibiting certain banners ‘content-neutral,’ and appears to steer clear of Constitutional problems but Chancellor Sartarelli’s comments were clearly focused on one particular message: Black Lives Matter.

File under ‘long-term investment’: The Town of Wrightsville Beach spent $25 on the land in 1937; the value is now approaching $1 million.

Reports from inside Galloway Hall, UNCW’s temporary Covid-19 quarantine facility, include unflattering descriptions of what students are getting for their meal-plan money; at the same time, the faculty senate president described a communication breakdown between administration and professors.

The development is part of the growing number of residential projects in the Scotts Hill and Hampstead area.
