I love it when communities use "old" buildings for a new purpose. This little spot is on my "to visit" list. :)

Cynthia- I love all the pictures you put into this post! I miss living down south a little bit when I see your community. You truly are a great resource for the wonderful people of Swansboro NC

Cynthia, I loved the photos and what a nice addition to your area! They will be able to provide some great informations in Swansboro!

I love Swansboro! Great pictures too. I will have to go by the new center when I go that way.

OK. The statue has me curious. Who is he and what's he pointing at? Are you taking submissions?

My guess: Samuel Swann and he's pointing at Uncle Sammy's Crawdad Cafe.

Cynthia a very eye catching post. Having a nice visitor's center is very important , yes first impression is important.

Well...that is really nice. You are right...it is a precious downtown. I have not been in a long time, but I love when I've passed through. GBU, Cynthia!

Cynthia, Small waterfront towns are unlike anything I knew growing up in Albuquerque, but I've come to love them ever since Arthur brought me east. His boyhood home was on the waterfront - he says the only thing wrong with NM is that it's "all beach and no icean" Karen

Excellent information! I love Swansboro. Such a quaint little town. AND NOT TO MENTION YANNIS!

Hi Jo,
So do I! Restoring old buildings is a wonderful way to save history and our environment. Thanks.

Greg,
I feel your pain, leaving the south and all its wonderful weather, people and traditions is painful, I know I did it for a short while. Thank you for visiting and commenting.

Carole,
It is a wonderful resource, previously visitor picked up brochures, etc. at various businesses but now there is an official visitors' center (and the restrooms are important too!).

Vickie,
It is a charming little town, isn't it? Yes, go by the visitor center next time you are there.

Chuck,
Oh shoot, now you are quizzing me and I should know. Now I have to do a little research. I'm sure I have known but for the life of me, I can't recall at the moment. I'll get back to you.

Hello Jennifer,
Thank you and I agree. This is something Swansboro has needed for some time, I'm so happy it has finally happened.

Elizabeth,
You should plan on passing through again in the near future. :-)
