After weeks of speculation and rumors, it's been confirmed that longtime Wilmington restaurant Parchies at the corner of Princess and N. 12th streets downtown will close on April 20. Owner and Wilmington native Dave Wishon has run the eatery that specializes in fried chicken and barbecue and other classic fare for more than 37 years. During that time, the gathering place behind New Hanover High School has welcomed a diverse cross section of locals for breakfast and lunch service.
