Morehead City & New Bern Trivia
On February 10, 1938, two partners, Tony Seamon and Ted Garner, opened a fresh seafood market on the Morehead City waterfront. A small building had been rented from Charles S. Wallace for $5.50 per week with the understanding that no beer or wine would be sold and that the premises be kept clean and neat. The name "Sanitary Fish Market" was chosen by the partners to project their compliance.

New Bern was founded in 1710 and was a Swiss settlement. The people named it Bern after the capital of their home Switzerland. Bern actually means "bear". In 1979, the city started a revitalization of their city called the Swiss Bear project. Thus the bears throughout their town along with several artistic galleries and shops.
