Outer Banks Milepost STUCK HERE ON PURPOSE. Why Milepost? Stuck here on purpose. Standing tall no matter the season. We’ll inform some. Rant some. Laugh plenty. Familiar or unfamiliar.

Outer Banks Milepost is a free, quarterly publication combining thought-provoking articles, quality images and compelling design to reflect local life from an insider’s perspective — strategically placed in area businesses where residents do their real living. We know . . .we know: locals don’t use mileposts, tourists do — unless it’s to help with a random question like, “What’s there to do on a S

aturday night?” or “What’s up with the Lowe’s?” In our opinion, that makes residents the real mileposts. Ready to offer help, but at the same time showing people how lost they really are — and grinning the whole time. And that’s what Outer Banks Milepost aims to be: a straight up cultural positioning system that celebrates the local way of life. Not only telling folks what they might have missed — but highlighting the unique elements we all willingly share. Think of it as a mirror that magnifies the Outer Banks’ most quirky and compelling features to the world at large. Native, transplant or tourist.

All disciplines, all terrains, all out madness and debauclery.

There may be an amendment introduced as early as today to House Bill 442 that would:

• Ban shrimp trawling within ½ mile of the Atlantic Ocean shoreline and in all inshore/inland waters, which would include all sounds, estuaries, and rivers.
• Override Marine Fisheries Commission authority to permit such activities.
• Establish penalties for violations, including license loss, forfeiture of catch, and other enforcement penalties.
• Irreparably damage a main economic driver in the Outer Banks: our seafood industry.

Delbert wouldn't go?...
Sounds like "Big D" had to bail this weekend -- but stay tuned for fall!

We are sad to announce that due to unforeseen circumstances we have to “Postpone” Delbert Dayz until the Fall. We are diligently working with the town to create an amazing event for everyone in the off season! Thank you for the amazing response! We are looking forward to celebrating Delbert in the best way possible! Amazing music will be rocking the pier all weekend and our Sunday Funday ticket giveaway will be right on track! See ya this weekend!
