The bridge that connects Emerald Isle and the mainland is a vital link. While we residents will often complain about summer bridge traffic, we know in our hearts that it is not really much of an issue.
After spending all day showing homes to a young New Jersey couple, I needed to deliver some forms to another real estate agent whose office is in Emerald Isle.
We headed across the bridge at about 4:30 PM. I am happy to report that we got caught in some stop and go traffic which allowed me to take some pictures from the bridge.
For someone like me who dreams of opportunities to take pictures from the bridge, it was was a dream come true. Even then it only took us ten minutes to cross the bridge. That compares very favorably to the two hours which it took us to drive forty miles coming out of Washington, DC, or the hour we were stuck in traffic in Raleigh going a couple of miles.
I will take our summer traffic anytime. At least the scenery is great and sometimes there is even a wonderful breeze. How bad can it be to be stuck in a beautiful place?
