If you're visiting the Oak Island/Southport area during the season, there are a lot of places to enjoy coastal seafood. One of the biggest draws to our area is the fresh, local seafood, but until 2018, Southport didn't have an oyster bar. That all changed when Oliver Landis realized his dream of opening one, after a local favorite restaurant closed. Oliver and his wife, Suzanne, were already the owners of Oliver's, another local favorite, but Mr. Landis knew what Southport needed was an oyster bar.

Sadly, Mr. Landis passed away during the renovation of the old Pharmacy restaurant, but that didn't stop Suzanne from realizing his dream. After Hurricane Florence in 2018, Oliver's had to close temporarily due to storm damage. This allowed her entire staff and crew to move up the street to Moore Street Oyster Bar in November 2018.

Oysters aren't the only fare you can enjoy at Moore Street. They offer amazing steam pots, typical bar appetizers, and a high end bourbon selection. If oysters are your jam, you can have them prepared most any way you can think of, from raw (shucked in front of you) to Rockefeller. Their house recipe hot sauce is to die for, but it won't break your wallet if you decide you want to take some home. Their dessert options are phenomenal, especially when they have the Bananas Foster cheesecake. I recommend not sharing this, as it's so delicious, you're going to want it all for yourself.

And if you've never tried mignonette sauce with your oysters, this is the place to do so. Their fresh cocktail sauce is exceptional and quite spicy. No oyster bar would be complete without oyster shooters, and Moore Street has one of the best I've tried. Their drinks menu is nothing to sneeze at, offering high end bourbon (and any other liquor you could want), draft beer that changes with the seasons and features a lot of local brews, and a good wine selection.

For those who're entertaining or maybe just not in the mood for seafood but enjoy the experience of an oyster bar, they offer many selections on the turf side of life. You can get a burger of your choosing or even hot wings.

If you're going for the steamer pots and oysters, you can expect a fairly pricey evening, but it's more than worth it. On average, a steamer pot for two, an appetizer, two drinks, and dessert will cost around $150. Moore Street currently has a rating of 4.5 on Yelp and is located at 110 E. Moore Street in Southport, NC. They're open until midnight and offer outdoor seating when weather permits, bar seating, and high-top tables.

Restorative Justice Systems Have Lower Recidivism Rates

Interior of Halden Prison in NorwayWikimedia Commons. If you don’t live in a certain country, knowing about its prison system isn’t something you may think about. A TikTok user posted a video back in 2019 that prompted discussion. Once you see the statistics, you’ll understand why what Norway is doing works. In the U.S., as of 2021, the rate of incarceration is 639 people per 100,000. In Norway, as of 2021, it’s 49 people per 100,000. While it’s true Norway has a much smaller overall population, the fact remains, they don’t incarcerate people at the same rate as we do in the United States.

The High Cost of Prison Phone Calls is Driving People to Debt

Remaining in communication with friends and loved ones is something most of us take for granted. For those who are incarcerated, it becomes the only lifeline they have to the outside world in a lot of cases. But it's expensive and prohibitively so for a lot of the prison population. And when it becomes a matter of the state making money off your phone calls, it gets even more expensive. Affordable phone calls are directly related to the safety and well-being of all communities because communication reduces the likelihood that incarcerated people will commit another offense after their release. This uncontroversial proposition has been endorsed by Congress, the American Bar Association, the American Correctional Association, the federal Bureau of Prisons, state legislatures, and state regulatory agencies. Unfortunately, opportunities for government and private profit from prison telephone calls are clouding out this common-sense principle, and communities are suffering to fill the phone industry’s coffers.

Healing a Broken Heart Doesn't Have to Be Difficult

Time heals all wounds. Please don’t ever say this to someone dealing with heartbreak, no matter the source. Although it may be true, it’s the last thing they want to hear, next to “if it’s meant to be, it will happen.” A broken heart can come out of nowhere and doesn’t have to be the result of the end of a relationship. Losing a job, the death of a loved one, and even separation for extended periods of time can all be felt as heartbreak.

Losing Chemistry and Attraction in Your Relationship is Normal

We are shown from childhood, through movies and books, once we’re in a romantic relationship, it’s all rainbows and puppy dogs forever. The honeymoon phase of any relationship is played up by Hollywood and society at large. It makes sense, why would people want to see the ugly truth, the dirty underside? Maybe, because that’s what is real and it’s better to be prepared for what can happen, rather than walk around with rose colored glasses. The honeymoon phase isn’t meant to last. Every relationship, romantic or not, goes through cycles. Regardless of which cycle you’re in, it is possible to maintain passion, desire, and chemistry through it all.

The Healthcare System in America is a Joke, Especially For Women

I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. Rather than discuss what healthy eating is with me, my mother put me on fad diet after fad diet, taught me ‘tricks’ to feel full, and instilled a life-long issue with food. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been guilty of doing some of the same things to myself. In general, I love healthy food. I choose vegetables over most anything, am not big on sweets, and am not a fan of fried foods. So why am I still overweight?

There's a New Way to Send Letters to Inmates in North Carolina

Beginning October 18, 2021, if you want to send a handwritten letter to an inmate in North Carolina, you won't be sending it direct to the prison where they're housed. The state contends the reason behind this change is an effort to reduce contraband entering the prisons. According to NCDPS, this program has been in effect for female inmates since 2020 and has allegedly curbed contraband by 40 percent.
