@@JanesBlonde-007 Loved that school and enjoy catching up with retired teachers from there. I have a great colleague that thought there and she is now in real estate

My God, I just looked up my house. I bought it in 1982 for $39,900 and wtf it sold last year for $389,900 Mr. Evans was a lucky man! Wow

I remember that because, I was actually booked for a room and the night or so before, we were going to head out, my friend sent me a text and an immediate call, showing me Ocean Crest and what happened! So sad :( I want to get back to Oak Island soon

Glad to hear! It is a beauty. Do you live in Wrightsville or visit?

@JoeCarteretofficial I visit once a year but I do hope to move to the Wilmington area once I retire ✌️

Thanks for engaging. I’m always open to learning more about solutions to change things and contribute to positive change.

I must sadly agree with you. My family always vacationed at oak island starting when I was very young and went with my parents & grandparents. We continued to go every year even as several family members “passed on” and new family members came along over the decades. But something happened right around the COVID breakout or just before. It seemed that suddenly, the pricing on vacation rental homes (especially on the oceanfront) tripled if not more. And it hasn’t changed over the past 3 - 4 years. So now we are forced to vacation in N. Myrtle Beach the past few years. Still expensive in NMB, but nowhere near as expensive as Oak Island is now. We miss Oak Island greatly, but it just seems “out of reach” if you prefer staying oceanfront or across the street,…at least for the average income consumer.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. We’ve got some new content coming and have hit some amazing places recently that we can’t wait to share.

Hey, buddy! Thanks for my call and subscribing to my channel. Hope you like the videos.

Is Boiling Springs less desirable?

@@wingwalker27 imho. Yes.

Fantastic! Shoot me a text if you need any suggestions, etc. 704-840-7613 Joe

Thanks for watching and engaging in conversation. While I respect your opinion, being a native and having deep ties to the area, I’d disagree. While I certainly understand there will always be a set of locals that focus more on the inconveniences associated with living in a tourist town, the majority are good people to their core. They see the good in visitors, they show hospitality, and they are smart enough to understand the economic impact tourism has on the area.

the only ones who like them are business owners to make a profit and i understand that but also at the same time we have side walks for a reason ..... stop pull over get out and go sight seeing as much as your heart desires dont stop in the middle of the road or go 15 mph in a already slow 25 mph road.@@JoeCarteretofficial

Why don't you locals like tourists?

Thanks for watching and engaging!

Thanks for checking it out! What part of Texas are you from?

@@JoeCarteretofficial Dallas

@@AtomikFajita Nice! I used to live in Frisco.

Seahawks! Yes, it certainly has changed over the years. How long did you live on the island? What years?

@@JoeCarteretofficial I lived on 60th st. Close to the waterway. The years I was at UNCW was 03 to 2007. While in school I worked in the oi area and south port building docks for a company under the bridge. So yeah. The prime real estate is on the west end. Absolutely beautiful. We've been coming to our since I was a kid every year we would come to the beach house for a couple weeks. So yeah I basically am eligible to be a local. Thank you for asking.

@@Brett.1984 Awesome - Shoot me your info. Next time you’re down, let’s connect up 704-840-7613

All of this! So glad you enjoyed the video and most importantly have stopped by their restaurant. Garren and Kelly are such good folks - They love the area and folks that have helped make it so successful. Let me know in advance next time you are planning to go by.

Thanks for engaging - What did you think of the bbq when you went?

Super cool place - Let me know if you come to town, let’s grab a smoke and drink

@@JoeCarteretofficial awesome, sounds good to me. A couple weeks ago my wife and I were in charlotte, I now wish I had known about it. We will be back.

@@JoeCarteretofficial I don’t know how soon it will be, but I’ll take you up on that. I bought a smoker last year when I bought some land out in the country and I just love going out there for hours and trying different ways of smoking barbecue. If you’re ever in Charleston, Lewis BBQ is amazing and Rodney Scott’s has some really good vinegar based barbecue. Palmira barbecue also has the best beef cheeks I’ve ever tasted. Good stuff.

@@briankirkman2891 I’ve had Rodney Scott’s, good stuff!

@@JoeCarteretofficial looks like I am planning on making a visit there Saturday, September 2 if you’re available

@@briankirkman2891 Shoot me a text and we can nail down details. 704-840-7613

​@@JoeCarteretofficial I live in Oklahoma. We have a nice cigar bar here called Stag, not as large as this one, but they do offer lockers etc.

@@GamerNxUSN Very nice! Well, Charlotte is a great place to visit. Come on out!

Ah, great call out. My guess is what was meant to be said …Most restaurants around Charlotte don’t do it like we do. 😉😆😆😆 Thanks for watching and engaging. Make sure you get down there and try it out!

@@JoeCarteretofficial The overall interview was good. Anson needs this place for sure. Thanks for putting it up!
