    Adopt-a-Marlin statues aim to boost Morehead City spirit and draw visitors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A major new public art initiative is taking over Morehead City, and it all started with a big idea from a nine-year-old girl. The city's brand new "Adopt-A-Marlin" program features custom, seven-foot-tall fiberglass blue marlin statues that can be purchased by businesses in Morehead City and then installed on their property. This idea didn't come from City Hall, but from a local middle schooler who pitched the idea three years ago. City officials say they want to celebrate their city's identity

    Shuttle buses to run from Carteret CC as Seafood Festival parking shifts off port (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The framework for the 40th annual NC Seafood Festival is snapping into place. More than 100,000 are expected to descend on Morehead City, and now, years of parking habits will not work, as the festival is no longer using the port for parking.

    Seafood. It's the main attraction of the 40th annual Seafood Festival in Morehead City, but as more than 40 food vendors prepare their menus, organizers are sending a clear, uncompromising message.

    Morehead City Seafood Festival marks 40 years as fishermen warn industry is strained (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    More than 100-thousand people are expected to pack downtown Morehead City this weekend to celebrate local flavor at the 40th annual Seafood Festival, but behind the scenes are the people who actually harvest the catch. Long before the fryers are turned on, and long before the first Seafood Festival banner is hung on Arrendell Street, there's a brutal, exhausting reality. It's diesel fuel, unpredictable weather, and a gamble on every single toss of the net. This is the backbone of North Carolina'

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Anyone who has to drive through James City struggles with changing roads, delays, and confusion, as DOT works on the I-42 project, which is adding several overpasses at main intersections in the James City area. The original completion date was the end of 2027, but now that has officially been pushed back. An extra 12 months of orange barrels and construction zones are in store for people navigating James City. At Tuesday's Regional Interstate-42, U.S. 70 Commission meeting, state road leaders d
