New Bern, NC from the Air - Beautiful Harbor Views! (EWN)
New Bern, NC is one of the most charming towns i've ever visited. I was blown away by the stately brick buildings and sense of preserved history. New Bern has a laid back and friendly feeling. It's not uncommon for complete strangers to say hello when they pass you on the street. The harbor is also stunning, and I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few people living on thier boats! I look forward to returning to New Bern very soon!
A bit more about New Bern, courtesy of Wikipedia:
New Bern (pronounced /ˈnjuːbərn/) is a city in Craven County, North Carolina with a population of 29,524 as of the 2010 census. It is located at the confluence of the Trent and the Neuse rivers. The city is 112 miles (180 km) east of Raleigh and 87 miles (140 km) northeast of Wilmington.
Formerly an Indian town named Chattoka, New Bern was settled in 1710 as a Swiss immigrant settlement, and the city is named after Bern, the capital of Switzerland. The Swiss connection (just as the Dutch in New Amsterdam, and German immigrants in Pennsylvania Dutch) with England was established by Marian exiles and marriages of the Royal House of Stuart, notable people in the history of Calvinism.
New Bern is the second oldest town in North Carolina. It served as the capital of the North Carolina colonial government and then briefly as the state capital. After the American Revolution, New Bern became wealthy and quickly developed a rich cultural life. In fact, at one time New Bern was called the Athens of the South.
Renowned in the South were the Masonic Temple and the Athens Theater, both still very active today.
New Bern is the county seat of Craven County and the principal city of the New Bern Micropolitan Statistical Area.
New Bern is the birthplace of the international drink, Pepsi Cola. It is also the setting of the Nicholas Sparks' book, The Notebook. A segment on NBC's The Today Show which aired March 16, 2005, mentioned that New Bern was one of the best places in the United States to retire which has been a haven for retirees from the northern states.
New Bern has four historic districts with homes, stores and churches dating back to the early eighteenth century. Within easy walking distance of the waterfront are more than 164 homes and buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Also nearby are several bed and breakfast inns, hotels, restaurants, banks, antiques stores and specialty shops. The historic districts also are home to many of the town's 2,000 crape myrtles — New Bern's official flower — and glorious gardens.
At Union Point park, located downtown borders both the Neuse and Trent Rivers, the city's major celebration spot for events such as Neuse River Days and the Fourth of July. In 1979 local government gave Swiss Bear Downtown Revitalization Corp — a nonprofit corporation of civic leaders — the authority and responsibility to capitalize on the potential of the failing downtown area. Today, art galleries, specialty shops, antiques stores, restaurants and inns have resurrected downtown and the waterfront into a social hub. Improvements are continuously underway. Built and dedicated in 1995 through the efforts of Swiss Bear, James Reed Lane is a downtown mini-park and pedestrian walk-through on Pollock Street across from historic Christ Church. Private restoration efforts return many of the downtown buildings to their turn-of-the-twentieth-century elegance.

City of New Bern & Housing Authority Receive HUD Choice Neighborhoods Grant
HUD representatives visited New Bern after awarding the city and the New Bern Housing Authority with the Choice Neighborhoods Grant. New Bern was one of nine communities nationwide to receive this grant. The daylong visit by HUD representatives included introductions by city officials, a tour of a public housing unit, and a bus tour of New Bern. The Choice Neighborhoods Grant will help the city and the community work together to come up with a plan to improve public housing and access to community amenities. Once the planning phase is complete, the city and Housing Authority hope to apply for an implementation grant.
