Google has just launched Google Sites and we have launched a small site to demonstrate how it works. You must have a Google Apps for my domain account to use this new product.

The concept was originally established by JotSpot but Google bought them out in October 2006 and have relaunched the idea as Google Sites.

JotSpot was a hosted wiki platform for building collaborative websites.

WILMINGTON — More than 60 cities in the country apply every year and only 12 are selected.

This year Wilmington was one of the very elite 12 honored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the country’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations.

It’s a major award chosen from dozens of competitors across the country.

George Edwards with the Historic Wilmington Foundation said, “You couldn’t ask for better recognition. It’s incredible.”

The national trust for historic preservation included Wilmington on its 2008 list of the country’s 12 most distinctive destinations.

Joining places like Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Portland, Oregon as having the best mix of cultural and recreational activities.

Nancy Tinker with the National Trust for Historic Preservation said, “Ggreat gardens, good museums, good architecture, a downtown with a heartbeat, economic and cultural diversity. So why not here?”

Wilmington beat out neighboring cities like Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia. City Mayor Bill Saffo said historic preservation is one of the city’s priorities.

Saffo said, “So many cities around the country have destroyed their historic core. And historic fabric of what they were and who they were. We haven’t. We have preserved a lot of ours.”

But as we’ve been reporting all month in our Cape Fear 2020 series, we’re also growing faster than any other place in North Carolina…

And as our population increases, so does the demand for more development.

“The challenge for us is not to lock this city down in place and pretend that it’s a 19th-century city, but to retain all of our fabric but at the same time to allow orderly growth and development,” Saffo said.

The city passed its first preservation ordinance in the 1960s, helping to preserve these historic buildings. Today the mayor said that we need to keep our past in mind, as we continue to grow into the future.

The city’s visitors’ bureau says the award puts our city in the national spotlight.
They project the attention should translate to a major increase in tourism here.

In 2006 tourism contributed over $300 million to our economy, and according to the CVB folks, that number will only go up.
