An Outsiders Visit to E. City - May 2009

Our office (the Elizabeth City Area CVB) was notified of a great blog write-up of Elizabeth City today. It was written my TravelPod user Malbet, during their 'Leg 4 Back in the USA' trip (which their travels started on March 23, 2009 and will end on July 23, 2009).

Read an excerpt from their blog ... and/or click 'read more' to see what else they said:
