Booker T Theater before


The Booker T Theater opened as the Savoy Theater around 1926

This is how this building look for many years before they (city) decided to redo the Douglas Block..

The Brooker T Theater


Lot of rotten wood, will they they try to save the over hang or will they completely replace it?

Dumping coals on pine straw at the edge of a wooden area.

So if you don't know how to cook out with coals then don't

How long


How long will it be, before this falls onto the sidewalk below. I see the city code enforcement isn't doing anything about this. I wonder why? A over that is leaking and rottening, I guess once it hits someone in the head then something will be done about.

Could Rocky Mount Council be ripping the citizens of RMT???

Consideration of Sale of Certain Real Property Within Phase II of the Douglas Block Redevelopment Project (106-120 East Thomas Street; 128 East Thomas Street; the parcel north of the Douglas Block Building on N.E. Main Street; and the rear of the properties on Albemarle Avenue with the addresses 244-270 and 278-296 Albemarle Avenue) @ $2,500 to Rozellali Group, LLC.

picture below 
I really hope that this group isn't getting all this property for that price if so they are ripping off the citizens of Rocky Mount and the city council approved it
UPDATE: THE PART IN RED WILL BE A PARKING LOT THE PART THAT WAS BROUGHT IS WHERE ALL THE CARS ARE. However, they are still getting it for steal of a price.One end of the block being fixed up at a tune of 10s of millions while the other ends goes for $2500.00..

More houses to be demolition

The city has selected nine more to be torn down for many reason most of which is pure shit.

Code Enforcement

Ok folks, those that live in the older parts of Rocky Mount, watch out City Code enforcement folks are out seeking money to help the city to fill their budget problems...they are targeting those folks whom they know don't have the money or time to fight them.. ie poor folks of rocky mount. also there is double talk in those notice.. read them carefully all abatement ie work done my city worker is 200 dollars even if thats them 10 minutes to resolve the issue.
