Hope you all recover from the storm and can rebuild.

Rich the surrounding areas of New Bern have become a haven for retirees from the north. There are lots of subdivisions around, lots of great golf courses, ther water and mild weather without the headaches of Florida. Years ago my family started one not far from my house, it was originally named Treasure Cove and is now Fairfield Harbor which is right on a creek just off the river. It is a rather large community with 2 golf courses and is mostly Northern retirees living there but it was devastated. Something I thing you'll like though, we always referred to it as Yankee Stadium since that's where most of the people living there were well Yankees. 😂
