Main Douglas Block Building Almost completed

Yes the Main Building of this Project is almost completed. As you can see it has been giving new windows and doors and roof and inside structure, and a nice fresh coat of paint.

I wonder if there any tenants signed up yet, If so how long before they move in. Since the parking lot behind the buildings isn't yet complete.. 

Some Money Spent at Battle Park, WOW

 It would seem that the City Spent some money to replace the old trail sign in Battle Park, those which were tore up by local vandals

Yet, no money could be found to fill the hole in the walkways of the park. I guess sometime in this fall season if someone steps in it while its cover with leaves and breaks a leg then only then will Rocky Mount do something about it.

Andre Knight on the Murders in Rocky Mount

First off this is very inappropriate to give this interview in a car. But that doesn't surprise me when he is representing a district that he doesn't even live in.

Several black women all of whom suffered from drug addiction and prostitution have been killed in Rocky Mount North Carolina over the past few years. Andre Knight, who sits on the Rocky Mount City Council and President of the local NAACP has been the most vocal in seeking attention to these murders. Is this the work of one person? Knight weighs in also on the National Media attention these murders have spurred



Who claims everything is about race in Rocky Mount

What NC DOT wants to do to Winstead Ave.

This project if approved would cause months of delays and traffic jams.

Sidewalk Danger downtown on Sunset.

Remember this building where the city said that the building facade was about to fall on the street below. So the city had the facade removed that is what the building look like now. I wasn't there the day they tore the face of this building off. In the process of protecting the citizens from falling brick the heavy equipment that was used tore up the side walk (see the pic below). This huge crack in the sidewalk is a bigger damage to the citizens now. What if the v-shape caution sign gets removed one night and someone walking along steps in this crack, who would be at fault, the city would that's who.

The city need to fix this situation ASAP this is now a bigger hazard then the facade was of building ever was.

Beer sales at event

Ok so for the downtown live event you can drink almost all you want, however you can't drink it out of the. They want you to use plastic cups creating more waste. Cans are 100% recyclable why most plastic cups aren't. This event is not earth friendly I can only guess the city hasn't gone green yet. What a shame
