USA Today, August 28th.
CAPE FEAR RIVER-- WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA-- Since this is one of my favorite places in the world, I'll write the whole account.
"'There's something for everyone on this cruise. The Cape Fear River boat, a triple-decker dinner boat goes past historic Wilmington, under the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, to the state port." Kids enjoy the bustling container ships at the port, where the USS North Carolina, a World War II battleship, is on view. Portions of the appropriately named river are included in the Cape Fear Civil War Discontinuous District."
You can also take a trip on the Captain Maffitt, named for a Civil War blockade-runner captain. Fantastic riverwalk as well.
ST. JOHNS RIVER-- JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA-- an authentic paddleboat narrated ride. Also, a Riverwalk on both sides of the river.
MISSOURI RIVER-- OMAHA, NEBRASKA-- Goes under the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, a remarkable one-of-a-kind structure. Views of the Omaha skyline and Freedom Park, home of the minesweeper USS Hazard and training sub USS Marlin. On the bluff, there is the 100+ acre botanical Lauritzen Gardens.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
