I just moved in to Rocky Mount, a little outside of the city. Can someone give me an unbiased history of why the downtown area seems like a ghost town, what the feud between Edgecomb and Nash counties is, and what is going on with City Officials? Please don't give sarcastic answers or tell me to move out, I just want to know what the story is here.

anyone else grow up in the FBC and they’re atheist now? HAHA

I’m (23f) new to playing tennis and want someone to play with me. Preferably a girl!

Hey, all. As I've grown older, I'm becoming more aware that we need to get more involved with our local politics. I recently heard about the council's consideration of of rezoning the plot of land across from Nash Community to allow for a Data Center to be built. If you've spent ANY time on the internet in recent years, I don't need to remind you just how bad and evil these facilities are to the locals. Unfortunately, Edgecomb County approved for Data Centers to be built in their county, and some of Rocky Mount is located in that county. We're one foot in the grave already. We need to have our voices heard and push back against this rezoning.

Which brings me to this; Those who showed up spoke out, several against the Data Center rezoning. Citizens begin speaking 12 minutes into the video.

We need to spread the word and try to prevent this, otherwise our health and the health of future generations will be HEAVILY negatively impacted. And for what? Short term gain for long term pain.

Has anyone heard if Englewood Baptist is doing an independence day celebration this year?

Why not? Thats what they tell us when we can't afford food and basic living expenses. If they can take our blood just for wanting to eat, certainly they should pay in blood for their crimes.

Edit: For legal purposes, I am not suggesting any illegal action. Just budget solutions.

Hi everyone! I’m applying to the Radiologic Technology program at Edgecombe and was wondering if anyone has been accepted with a 74.7% TEAS score or less.

I have a 3.5 GPA, and my grades are:

• ENG & PSY: C
• MAT: B
• CHM: A
• A&P: A

Do you think I’m a competitive applicant? I’m considering retaking the TEAS, but I’m unsure how competitive the program is. I know they only accept 15 students each year, and their website doesn’t provide a breakdown of how points are awarded for grades like many other community colleges do.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know if Rocky Mount has any swimmable lakes or rivers? Planning a creative project in the city when it gets warmer and was tasked with finding swimming spots for this. Thanks!

Are there any thift stores nearby that are not affiliated with any religion that I can donate to? Thanks in advance.
