This North Carolina Town Was Just Named The Most Boring In The State, And Residents Might Have Something To Say

“Most boring town” sounds pretty harsh once I start looking at what is actually around here. There is a lake nearby, quiet walking trails, and enough open countryside to make the whole place feel more peaceful than dull. That distinction matters to me. This small North Carolina community grew...

Nightly closures planned for U.S. 601 in Yadkinville

An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor closed a short stretch of U.S. 601 at U.S. 421 over the weekend with more overnight closures planned for this week to finish constructing roundabouts at the off-ramps. Beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, U.S. 601 (State Street) closures between the U.S. 421 ramps are expected while crews finish installing curb, concrete islands and truck aprons within the roundabouts during a weekend-long operation, weather permitting. Weekend crews reopened U.S. 601 in both directions by 6 a.m. Monday. This weekend operation is to be followed by overnight closures with drivers utilizing the same detour from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night through Friday morning. During the closures, drivers who wish to drive through the U.S. 601 corridor must follow a detour onto U.S. 421 to the next exit, turn around and return to U.S. 601. Drivers exiting U.S. 421 onto U.S. 601 must turn right onto U.S. 601 or follow the U.S. 421 detour. The $19.8 million contract with Blythe Construction includes two additional roundabouts on U.S. 601 at the Maple Street and Lee Avenue intersections. The roundabouts are designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow throughout the corridor. The project also

Meet Slim: North Carolina's Last Remaining County Coroner

JOIN THE 250+ PAID SUPPORTERS WHO MAKE THE RABBIT HOLE POSSIBLE HERE. There really isn’t an easy way to get in touch with North Carolina’s last remaining elected coroner. The office isn’t listed on the Yadkin County government website. The official phone number, buried in old PDFs, no longer works. The person who picked up the phone in the county manager’s office paused for a moment before stating “I do not have a number for him,” then referred me to the EMS department. There, the on-duty officer gave me a long “Let me see…. Let me seeeeeeeeeeee…” before finding a number that he thought might work.
