Downtown Wilmington North Carolina Walking Tour - City Walks - Treadmill Walking Scenery - 4k

#walkingtour #CityWalks #virtualwalk #WheninWilmington #treadmillscenery #virtualtreadmill @Wilmington, NC, and Beaches
This was a wonderful walk for me. I loved going back to Wilmington and stirring up such wonderful memories from growing up there. Though, as Thomas Wolfe said, "You can never go home". I found my memories were not as accurate as I thought but the emotional impact of returning and seeing these buildings, streets, rivers, and churches was kind of wonderful though nostalgic. We start on the oak lined streets of the old part of down town, loop down by the river front and make our way through the historic old homes to the south including the Bellamy Mansion before returning whence we came. This part of the city is truly beautiful and I loved walking around here again. And I love sharing these personal bits with you on our virtual walks for treadmill. Thanks for your patience in my remembrances of things past. I hope you enjoy the walk almost as much as I did. -Henry

My Story: I'm a filmmaker by trade. In 2016, we sold our house to go traveling for the year in Europe. Since I couldn't work there, I decided to start another Youtube Channel. I love walking as a way to explore and this was an easy thing to share. It got popular and I've continued. My goal is to share these treadmill travel videos to help your work out with virtual walks.

1:45
they filmed a lot of that show around here pardon me
1:50
uh of course andy griffith is a north carolina native
1:56
i grew up in wilmington from the age of seven until 16. we are right now at the water
2:02
and market streets and we are going to wander through my memory my
2:09
uh reality and dreams it's all melding together here um we're gonna walk along water street
2:15
for a little bit um and i'm gonna tell you stuff and we're
2:21
gonna see stuff a lot of uh you can see this is a nice restaurant
2:26
up here i forgot which which one it is somewhere down here is the
2:32
uh docksider but a bridge tender or anyway this is michael's on the
2:38
waterfront smells delicious we are on the cape fear river i'm gonna pop over here real quick to show you the cape
2:43
fear river um i am easily distracted just a caveat
2:49
there and i will switch things midstream to point stuff out this
2:55
is the cape fear river wilmington's on the cape fear
3:01
off to the right is a bridge of the river and across the way is the uss north carolina world war ii era
3:09
battleship and we'd go over there as kids on field trips and to explore and all that fun
3:15
stuff downstream you have uh a bridge drawbridge and then the port of
3:22
north carolina the port of wilmington which is a major eastern eastern seaboard
3:29
port um there is so much cool stuff to do here
3:35
in wilmington so much uh history that needs to be acknowledged as well as
3:43
learned um and i'm gonna share some of this stuff
3:48
with you as we go i don't know how many walks we're gonna get out of wilmington it's uh it's not a
3:54
huge city but it's it is beautiful it's got a lot of cool old buildings a lot of history
3:59
as i said a lot of personal history for me some of which i remember
4:06
and i'm discovering as i've come down here a very surreal experience uh some of which i don't remember
4:11
there's a lot of things that have changed i was here i think i was last here 30 years ago
4:19
and of course uh we moved away in 1989 so that's 32 years
4:27
let me give you a little details about our day here um it is about 11 a.m
4:35
on a thursday in early december it's 50 degrees
4:41
fahrenheit that's about what 10 degrees celsius
4:47
there is a lot of cool stuff so
4:54
in wilmington there are um it's about 100 some thousand people
5:01
and uh what else i don't know i'm not really interested
5:07
in talking about that stuff this time but they do it's home to the azalea festival in the spring which is a big
5:15
festivities there's i think it's called the river fest downtown in the summer which they bring
5:20
in lots of music they close streets down all that fun stuff i saw a sign for ghost tours we never
5:27
took a ghost tour while we were here um i don't think they maybe they had them
5:33
anyway you can do sightseeing on the river they have awesome museums they've got the battleship across the way they've got the riceville beach i did a
5:41
couple walks out there yesterday uh one was pretty short but it's just a
5:46
walk along the breach and it was really pleasant um this is the market shops here
5:55
um and we're gonna wind our way back and forth along here i know we're kind of going into the sun
6:01
let me get across the street that'll help a little uh
6:07
uh cornwallis was here in the revolutionary war one thing i want to mention is the coup
6:13
that happened in the late 1890s and uh some real
6:20
racial uh horrific racial stuff went on
6:25
uh where some white supremacists basically
6:31
did a coup and took over the city and i think county government uh
6:37
killed some black leaders in the community and they pretty much
6:43
they pretty much got away with it uh and then
6:48
kind of buried it this is what they call the river walk we'll go out to the river here a little bit further
6:57
we are really close to the ocean hence the port um
7:02
and the river is actually smaller than i remember it of course i was
7:09
much younger back then everything seemed bigger more dramatic it's interesting the there's an osprey
7:17
it's interesting how our perception changes over time
7:27
but it's been a surreal experience for me to come back here i appreciate you guys
7:33
sharing that and uh i will be
7:38
regaling you with personal stories as we go
7:48
you can see there's some boat tours you can take along the river
7:54
which would actually be a lot of fun i think i can definitely see us coming back here and spending
8:01
some time just to enjoy the area as tourists let alone
8:07
a former resident i haven't really kept track of
8:13
old friends from here we've moved around so much and we're only here for a day
8:20
otherwise i would have uh i would have tried to maybe hook somebody up
8:29
[Music]
8:37
so this riverwalk goes all along the waterfront here
8:46
oh yeah maybe the restaurant was called chandler's wharf there's bridge tenders out by the beach
8:54
hopefully i'm not clicking away with these zippers it's it's just on the edge of cool
9:00
here temperature of course we get a lot of humidity here
9:07
so you can see that that bridge is uh it's highway 74 which is on its way to becoming an
9:13
interstate a major controlled access interstate uh but it's still a highway for now this
9:19
is the bridge tender or chandler's wharf over here sorry uh or no
9:25
wow talk about uh interesting memories so
9:31
it's actually the pilot house and that was a super fan not super fancy to me at
9:36
how old all i was um young teens uh and we'd go there i don't know when
9:43
people would come in from out of town or something
9:50
looks like elijah's is down here as well
10:04
i remember i had a we came down here with my aunt and uncle
10:10
and we had a dinner and i had just gotten braces and uh
10:15
it maybe been tightened or something i think this white building down here on the right is the pilot house but um
10:23
we're at the pilot house and i got a a uh salad
10:29
with new braces and a vinaigrette
10:34
so yeah that's the restaurant down there a vinaigrette dressing
10:39
oh that was a mistake and that vinegar the braces the wires
10:45
and stuff would sort of torn up the inside of my mouth
10:50
and that vinegar hit and that was that was unpleasant
11:00
everything's kind of done up for christmas here
11:19
we're gonna make our way up here to front street see some of these old
11:26
homes which are absolutely beautiful if you come down to wilmington you can
11:33
uh it's pay parking but it's pay by phone which is an app they use
11:38
super easy lots of cities use it you just you have to set up your account
11:45
with your um
11:52
your car stuff and your credit card and then you just put in the location
12:01
we're on ann street now if you're following along on a map and we are
12:08
gonna make it right here
12:14
see some of these old stately homes we did not live down here
12:21
we lived uh
12:27
over by uh the main mall i got a horse-drawn carriage that's fun
12:39
uh a much newer part of town but it was pretty cool though there too
12:46
um this one's for sale i'm sure
12:52
was uh at a discount hahaha i love these old houses
13:01
and they're everywhere down here
13:06
i think you know historically you hear a lot about
13:12
uh savannah and charleston
13:18
and i think wilmington gets uh it doesn't get enough it doesn't get a lot of press which is
13:24
actually kind of nice uh sort of you make enough of those lists and you
13:30
end up like bozeman montana where everybody wants to move there and i don't i don't mean to
13:36
denigrate bozeman or the people that are moving there i certainly move there
13:41
um but it it it causes issues and it
13:46
it's nice to have a little secret pocket
13:52
coming up on nunn street here as we walk along front street but these these houses are just amazing
13:59
my i had a friend that lived somewhere down here i don't remember
14:04
the address or anything uh and uh
14:12
of course it was a little different back then it wasn't as prosperous a city uh before i-40 came in before the movie
14:20
and tv studios came in uh but it's still pretty nice place
14:27
and anyway he lived down here he came down spent the night a few times and wandered around
14:34
get into a little trouble here and there as young teenagers are
14:41
want to do nothing too serious
14:46
and we didn't get caught much either look at this
14:52
i love these giant porches i always feel like you get these decorative porches on new houses and
14:59
kind of you're not really big enough to
15:04
to [Music] sit out on and enjoy i love a good porch
15:11
good covered porch oh my gosh
15:17
this house here is built in 1826. some of these legs up against the window
15:24
up there this is uh thomas smith house
15:32
1873. [Music]
15:38
all these are pretty much history they all pretty much have historic placards on them
15:45
i love this we'll make our way back here in a little bit but i just love
15:52
these houses and then so we'd come down here for
15:57
you know big festivals and they do a big um
16:03
firework show on the 4th of july
16:08
and christmas lights on all that fun stuff
16:14
church street here where we're headed up church street for this place
16:21
and you know all the parades and that sort of thing i love these old brick roads too they've
16:28
maintained you can tell these houses are little
16:35
a little smaller but still really nice
16:41
got a little cool breeze blowing today hopefully the uh
16:47
the microphone on this dji osmo pocket 2
16:54
microphone will handle that successfully
17:00
i love the the difference in plant life here
17:06
so much so humid how you doing um
17:14
so much moisture here so much deciduous plant life
17:20
i didn't realize it until i was driving around and all these leaves and
17:29
you know the detritus of having plants it's a big part of the memories from
17:36
here coming up on second in church and i guess
17:44
we'll go left on second
17:49
so we're kind of headed north at this point
17:56
not much traffic so i'll walk down the middle of street i like to do that because it gives us a little bit better
18:02
perspective on the houses on either side
18:14
look at the vines growing up this telephone pole
18:25
is a base engine on that
18:31
[Music] look at this
18:37
ordinate place
18:42
[Music] see the ac units mounted
18:48
on that uh third story roof or whatever it is
18:56
[Music] it's a u.s navy plane [Music]
19:02
flying over we're in the flight path of the airport today
19:08
i think there is a navy base here but i can't remember what it is or maybe they just based the
19:15
airplanes out of it oh man this is nun street again
19:22
gotta remember check keep an eye on my time i could walk around here
19:29
all day look at this place
19:38
i see a plaque up there as with almost all of these that's the benjamin
19:44
berry house oh it's a bed and breakfast 1854.
19:59
love it must be a nightmare to keep these up the humidity here
20:05
and the salt air just i think blasts these places
20:12
uh and especially if you don't have modern siding you know just keeping things the paint
20:18
up today it's probably uh quite
20:23
quite a uh you know for quite an effort it's not the right word
20:28
but challenge looks like they're doing some work on
20:34
this one maybe
20:40
coming up on third street which is a major thoroughfare
20:50
i kind of like this picket fence here this narrow narrow pickets it's a little different
21:03
all right we're gonna make a left all right james sprunt
21:10
author of the chronicles of a cape fear river uh huh british vice console
21:18
two blocks west now uh it's just west
21:24
it's down towards the river uh i think my friend
21:31
his mom might have been a sprunt that's kind of a family name in the area
21:36
there's a little collection of beach houses down on
21:42
riceville beach that they called spruntville when i was there
22:02
maybe she was a mercury
22:07
that was another name
22:21
look at all those uh these trees too we'll get down here and see some of these old oak trees
22:29
they're fantastic look at this
22:40
one of the things i like is how these old trees
22:45
tower over the streets and sort of
22:51
create these tunnels probably not great if you're driving a semi
22:57
to deliver goods downtown but pretty cool to see
23:03
pretty uh eudemic
23:14
all right let's cross over
23:20
and
23:29
hopefully the best i guess they don't really do that
23:46
it's an interesting cultural thing whether people in a place
23:52
routinely stop for pedestrians and crosswalks and stuff people are really pretty good about it
23:58
in montana could just be the road too
24:06
look at this is this a poplar tree or no yeah it's a popper no
24:12
is it sycamore that's what i'm thinking
24:33
uh i came up this way because there's some buildings and big columns that i don't remember so i thought well i'll go
24:39
check those out let's see what it is we'll loop back towards third because there's a couple places i want to share with you
24:46
this well it might be a school in which case i'm not going to
24:52
film it but
24:57
the sister something center so i think it's kind of a school
25:03
church school something like that i'm gonna go straight here because i don't remember this building
25:09
it's got these awesome minarets it's probably a church
25:15
they're not minarets sorry they're bell towers
25:36
there we go
25:45
look at this place
25:51
basilica of saint mary i did not know
26:00
pretty
26:09
coming up on fifth street
26:34
love the old spanish moss i'm going to show that to you right here
26:40
uh it's not actual moss they just call it that of course um
26:45
but it's uh it's actually i believe a lichen
26:50
which is a combination of algae and fungus or something like that
26:57
um it's like a symbiotic relationship you can see it drapes over
27:04
so much stuff it's a parasite i believe
27:10
not a doesn't kill the trees you wouldn't notice it
27:15
from where it is but it does i believe use the trees
27:21
correct me if i'm wrong in the comments section below in the youtube comment section i sometimes
27:27
forget there is a roku channel um i'm not the tech guy on that i just
27:33
agreed to let some people run it for me and
27:38
it doesn't really get updated and so
27:44
i don't know if this will make it on there or not
28:02
uh we'll get down here i think it's
28:09
i think it's dawson or market not market anyway
28:15
uh we'll get down here and i'll show you where we used to go to church one of the places
28:24
but first we're gonna make a left on orange um so this goes down a few blocks to the
28:29
right and similar all around here
28:34
here's some good spanish moss hanging down
28:42
man i tell you what here in the summer it gets humid and
28:47
warm
28:53
look at this beautiful house over here love the paint the detailed paint they've done
28:59
again that must be such a challenge to maintain but it sure looks nice
29:05
and then over there that upper porch with the uh kind of the curtains
29:11
up there are pretty cool too and there's another one up there they've done that i like that style
29:23
of course you can't really do that in livingston because
29:29
they'll just blow away or blow the tatters this is 1911
29:34
the gualtney house quote me martin house that's for sale if you want to buy it
29:46
here's some lovely i think these are azaleas beautiful flowers
29:55
then you've got these i forget what kind of trees they are they've got these beautiful red berries though
30:01
not that nice
30:07
all right so this on the right is not where we'd go to church
30:12
this is we had friends that would go here first presbyterian this is a beautiful home here
30:21
the rankin walker house
30:31
i love the that style of window over there
30:36
it's kind of tutor style whoops [Music]
30:43
windows and stone work
30:50
we'll go down here make a right on third and go down a couple more blocks and i'll show you st james which is where i
30:57
went went to church some of it in fact
31:03
interestingly enough um
31:08
we bought our house from the minister there
31:14
who then my dad became good friends with and whose brother i ran into
31:21
and became friends with in bozeman montana he'd retired out there
31:27
talk about small world
31:37
look at this i like the iron work on that porch over there on the left side
31:42
on the orange street side so we'll just give you a view of this first prez
32:04
it's probably i don't see a cornerstone that's probably been here for a few hundred years
32:17
uh i will try to put a link in the description about
32:24
the coup that i mentioned and there's another thing in the 70s i think they have some bombings
32:32
and it's you know we're in the deep south so there's no getting around that history
32:38
of cotton and tobacco plantations and
32:44
the horrific slavery that powered all of that it was on which it
32:50
was built so i will try to remember to put a link in the
32:57
description if i don't please remind me somebody remind me um because i want to make sure that he's
33:03
acknowledged huh it's the gibbons house i don't remember
33:09
that it's funny that you know that when we're little we don't really know
33:17
we don't have the context in our lives to remember a lot of these things we just
33:23
go along with what our parents most of us with what our parents
33:29
tell us and what they think we're important you know the little things unimportant things that
33:36
we find important as children uh because we're hopefully being taken care of this is
33:42
saint james over here lovely little um i don't know i don't know what the term
33:48
is but basically this is offices and maybe a residence
33:54
but i think it's mainly offices it's not is it the baptistery i don't remember anyway it's kind of an
33:59
old tudor style and then it'll it sits up here on the corner
34:07
oh adam empty first chaplain of the us military academy west point
34:14
1813-1870 president william marin college and rector of st james church and there
34:20
is an empty park over by where we used to live we'd ride our bikes over there and uh
34:25
they had this awesome old i mean i it's probably a oh it's definitely a health hazard
34:31
at the time safety hazard but we didn't care we just climbed all over cinderblock castle
34:37
uh i loved that thing i thought that was so cool look at this old tree i don't even
34:42
know what kind of tree that is um yeah so we'd come here go to sunday's
34:49
church and then we got older uh we'd have church lock-ins
34:56
i think i was on the basketball team when i was little
35:02
i had a basketball court set up in the basement maybe it wasn't it wasn't like big enough for
35:08
a basketball court this is market street
35:17
hmm i love this and what's funny here to me
35:22
is that in my memory this was brick and it
35:28
pretty confident maybe it is maybe it's brick under the plaster but
35:34
it is been plastered for a long time um
35:39
and uh so it's just kind of an interesting way our
35:46
our memories can fool us right
35:51
they're not fixed in ink or stone
35:57
or brick in this case
36:05
interesting so downtown is off to the left and
36:13
uh we'll get into a little bit of that in this walk but then i'm gonna do another walk
36:20
to really cover that look at this spanish moss on this tree
36:25
as we come up back up onto fourth oh that's a lot
36:32
it's got berries on the tree so it was hasn't killed the tree
36:38
some of these headstones are from the 1700s
36:50
there's old streets
36:57
this is the temple of israel 1875
37:04
to 1876 the jewish temple or at least it was
37:19
july 15th is what the cornerstone says
37:27
when i moved here from montana when i was little seven years old uh
37:34
they you know they don't have big spruce trees here uh they have pine but it's more like a
37:41
scotch pine look at this old place um and they do we went to the lighting of
37:47
the big christmas tree which was actually a lie an old oak tree
37:53
which was massive a massive old oak tree but it was so different than what i
37:59
was used to
38:22
out over there is the bellamy mansion here is uh
38:28
i don't know a fountain i'm sure that has a name
38:34
we'll go across here this is fifth and market
38:40
it's funny i think my my dad at the time owned or had started uh
38:46
a franchise called wash on wheels there's a power washing
38:51
company i don't think they're around anymore push a button here
38:59
but uh pretty sure he power washed that building
39:04
a long time ago he was in a lot
39:09
poorer repair trying not to get run over
39:17
and go take a look
39:24
i think remember somebody putting soap in there in that fountain before
39:30
sudsing over that's a fun prank
39:52
huh
39:59
william b gould was an enslaved bellamy plasterer and joined the union navy after escaping
40:05
in 1862 kept a detailed war dire period live two blocks north of here
40:10
um that's fascinating i kind of want to look that up in fact i'm going to take a picture of
40:16
that so i can you can see
40:22
it's still got a little bit of a old wear and tear here but uh
40:29
look how beautiful that is it's all done up for christmas look at the iron work
40:41
we're gonna go back here to fifth and go down a block we'll see this side looks like it's
40:48
i mean you know it's 180 years old 160 years old or more
40:54
um and uh
41:00
in a harsh environment but it was hot here in the 1860s
41:08
and especially if you were not a free person this is the carriage house visitor
41:14
center must be part of the plantation house um
41:22
we looked at st james earlier and i i was told that um
41:27
cordon wallace used that as a stable for his troops when he was here i don't know if that's true or not
41:41
these old houses across the way
41:49
i kind of want to find there's an old theater called failing hall that we would go to
41:57
on school trips or to see like peter pan or something
42:05
i don't know 0.1 miles
42:12
oh good we'll see it down here in a minute a lot of attorneys at law here
42:18
see if i can get across without getting run over
42:27
we're on princess street by the by
42:35
morning
42:41
not everything is old and mossy covered
42:46
as you get downtown you get a kind of a mix of modern like this
42:54
and uh old
43:03
excuse me i think
43:10
i think we recall going you know it's christmas time as i film this i think i recall
43:15
um going to see the christmas carol at
43:22
bailey hall which is up here on the right and we'll take a look at it
43:28
in a minute coming up on 4th street
43:36
i think beyond that might be the public like now
43:42
somewhere down here is the public library and got a lot of memories of that as well
43:47
such an amazing place to go as a kid with all those exciting books and discovery new books
43:54
this must be the law and justice center over here on the left i think we will cross
44:01
sorry that's what happens when you're a little
44:08
bit indecisive though on me i was being invested i said okay alien hall is up here on the right
44:15
[Music] the judicial building is this modern cement thing on the left
44:27
and i guess that's part of the the columned bit with the
44:32
food truck out front and then this is thalion hall not much to look at from this side but
44:38
we'll go around the front and it's really a beautiful old building
44:45
[Music]
44:59
i'm not sure what this is this red brick probably part of the uh
45:09
yeah what do you call it lawn justice center
45:15
new hanover county sheriff's department right there
45:22
all right coming up on oh major general joseph mcneill way
45:29
i'm pretty sure it was third street um
45:34
we'll take a look at phthalian hall over here look at that yep right here
45:41
look at this in my this is one of the weird things
45:48
in my mind this was smaller but it is massive
45:55
it's getting a little bit of a facelift here a little touch-up
46:00
look at that that is downright european
46:07
in scope
46:18
i guess it's the old city hall
46:25
it's hard to fit into this wide-angle lens
46:45
it's like these kids might have gone to a thing or on a maybe a field trip
46:51
we won't get too close to them i'm actually going to cross over and go down a block
46:59
hey hold on i'm going to show you this thalene hall that's the box office the modern entrance
47:05
really i remember it being a really interesting old antique
47:11
historic internal theater a theater on the inside that yellow brick building is the county
47:18
library and i can remember the smell
47:24
of the library all those great books
47:29
uh you know old and
47:35
going up to the kids area and searching through all the fiction and
47:40
discovering new adventures such a great memory that's such a great
47:46
thing about those libraries they are here's a wider shot of failure
47:52
they really they really are so instrumental i mean i don't think i can overstate the
47:58
importance of reading here we'll get a better shot of alien
48:18
and we're coming back towards princess street
48:55
we're going to take a peek down uh princess street but we will cover that
49:01
later we are going to go down to market again
49:18
huh william hooper one of north carolina's three signers of the declaration
49:23
of independence his home was here
49:40
there's a great well least i remember being great haven't been in 30 years but a
49:47
museum i think it's a county or city museum up to left at market street
49:52
i just remember having some really cool dioramas talking about pirates and
49:58
blockade runners and all that sort of stuff and just being a really cool engaging
50:05
museum it's up about i don't know four or five blocks up there i think
50:14
and there is st james again isn't that funny
50:27
i'm going to go across the street and show you this
50:34
this interesting building over here bergen wright building
50:54
so this is open for tours if you ever want to do that
51:00
there's a planter i think it's just a historical home a little garden over here
51:11
the winter sun is low enough that it plays with the exposure
51:18
on this camera the auto exposure
51:41
i think this building right here i recall correctly used to be a movie
51:47
theater and when we very first moved here
51:53
we came and saw a rerun of
51:58
song of the south which is rare rabbit and that sort of thing an old disney film that is no longer
52:05
available because of all the racist tropes in it
52:11
and while you know i'm not
52:18
