Rocky Mount Current Events

Well finally some one is buying the Carlton House in Rocky Mount, can  you believe it.
It seem that Suddenlink is upgrading it's internet service in the area, they claim that the price won't go up, we will have to see about .
It seem that Hwy 301 north of town, along the mall might be getting a make over.. Simply because people don't know how to drive..

If approved, it would be the first time the N.C. Department of Transportation’s District 4 office in Wilson has used the design in the district’s six counties.
The design, which restricts left turns and frequently requires drivers to make U-turns, would allow better traffic flow on northbound and southbound Wesleyan Boulevard, and reduce the chance of accidents, state transportation officials said.
But business owners are concerned that it could hinder access.
