One of Wilmington's biggest annual music festivals is set to return. On Nov. 6-7, the Port City Blitz music festival will bring some five dozen rock bands of various genres to Waterline Brewing beneath the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge downtown. The lineup includes not just local and regional acts, but national and internationally known bands. The Port City Blitz is organized by Wilmington musician Mike Grindstaff, who plays in the band Rocket 77 and started the festival in 2018 at The Barzarre on Castle Street. The Blitz then moved to midtown rock club Reggie's 42nd Street Tavern for a few years before moving to Waterline in 2024. This year marks the biggest Blitz yet, Grindstaff said, with 60 bands (up from 52 last year) over two days on a half-dozen stages. Headliners Veteran North Carolina thrash metal band Corrosion of Conformity, or CoC, is set to headline the Port City Blitz on Saturday, Nov. 7. Known for its iconic skull logo and for its influence on so-called "stoner metal" bands, including Wilmington stalwarts Weedeater , CoC has been coming to the Port City since the days of the Mad Monk in the '80s, though they last played here some 15

3-Foot Alligator Crashes Southport Bagel Shop, Waits at Counter Like a Customer

A three-foot alligator wandered through an open back door at Bagel Dock Express in Southport on Thursday afternoon, sprinted across the kitchen, and turned up at the front counter as if it were waiting in line for an order. The shop was closed to customers at the time, around 4:30 p.m., when owner Jesse Driscoll, busy overseeing the installation of a new oven, looked up to find the reptile staring back at him.

Alligator slips into bagel shop, greets owner at front counter, NC video shows

An alligator with a goofy sense of humor crawled through the back door of a North Carolina bagel shop, then stood at the front counter as if waiting to take someone’s order. It happened around 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Bagel Dock Express in Southport, and the gator was discovered when the shop’s stunned owner rounded a corner. Surveillance video shows Jesse Driscoll stopped dead in his tracks, hopped across the lobby, and grabbed a chair as if preparing to tame a lion. He then called 911. The young alligator was also taken off guard, and is seen backing away in search of an exit. “Apparently, word of our fresh bagels has made its way into the swamp!” the shop wrote in an Oct. 29 Facebook post. “No injuries, no drama … just one very unusual customer! Fresh bagels. Wild experiences.” It’s coincidental, but appropriate that it happened just two days before Halloween. The backdoor was open when the 3-foot alligator happened by, and surveillance video shows it entered with confidence and sprinted through the kitchen to the counter. “Just walked in like he knew where to go,” the shop wrote on social media. Driscoll was nearby the whole time, but

This North Carolina Kayaking Adventure Takes You Across A Lake Where Wild Alligators Roam

The part that gets me is how calm the water can look right before someone points out an alligator. American alligators are often spotted on these guided North Carolina paddles from March through November, and hearing them called “living dinosaurs” feels pretty accurate once one appears near the shoreline.

10 North Carolina Gluten-Free Bakeries Serving Treats Worth Driving Miles For

A former tennis pro now spends mornings making gluten-free bagels in North Carolina. I love that plot twist. Trading a racket for a rolling pin takes serious nerve. The surprises keep coming across the state. One Italian bakery sells gluten-free almond mousse cakes and chocolate hazelnut tarts beside its classic pastries. Another shop stocks take-and-bake cinnamon buns in a freezer case, so the treat can ride home with you.
