Located along the Albemarle Sound, Elizabeth City is the sweetest little community with a great, walkable downtown.
I was there to work on the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce's 2011 Images magazine and website to promote their community. And it's a pretty easy job in a laid-back, friendly and picturesque community like theirs. I kind of wanted to move there and buy this building:
although this wouldn't be a bad view from your back porch, either:
The city is just about an hour's drive away from the Outer Banks, so once I had explored a bit, I took a side trip to Kitty Hawk Beach and had fantastic conch fritters at Rundown Cafe.
Part of the drive was through some serious swampland (Elizabeth City is very close to the Dismal Swamp) which made for a surreal drive with frogs croaking and hopping all around.
The rain began in earnest on the way back from the beach and would go on to deluge the city as I was leaving (although thankfully the storm did no serious damage). I'd love to go back to Elizabeth City during better weather and stay a little longer!
