The Legend Behind North Carolina's Most Haunted Road

At the southern end of North Carolina's Smoky Mountains, a paved two-lane byway winds 6 miles into the forested hills before stopping dead at the mouth of a dark, quarter-mile tunnel. This "Road to Nowhere" is Lakeview Drive, and not only has it stirred local controversy, but it's also fueled tales of ghosts and haints, phantom voices and footsteps from the residents of towns that were flooded when Fontana Lake filled in behind the dam. Although it's a scenic daytime drive that deserves a place on your to-do list, the road's isolation, history, and lore keep motorists away when night falls.

Historic Zoning Commission approves benches, calls special meeting

The Greeneville Historic Zoning Commission considered two applications for Certificates of Appropriateness on Tuesday. The Commission unanimously approved an application for the installation of benches at 122 South Main Street while tabling an application for limited demolition and painting at 300 North Main Street. A called meeting will decide the outcome of the tabled application on Nov. 10. Commission members approved Jamey and Tammy Fillers’ application to install two benches to the front of the building at 122 South Main Street. The owners said their primary reason for the request is that one of the benches will cover and protect an emergency sprinkler line which they are concerned is currently vulnerable to damage. The other bench will be added to make the appearance symmetrical. Both benches are to be made from stainable oak. The Commission tabled Darlene Clark’s application to demolish a garage and one other small addition attached to the house at 300 North Main Street and to repaint the building. Clark does not currently own the property in question. She stated to the Commission that she is interested in purchasing it but only if the garage and another small addition to the original structure are able to be

Veterans Day in the Smokies 2026: Free Park Day, Ceremonies and Military Discounts

Veterans Day falls on a Wednesday this year, Nov. 11, 2026. If you're a veteran, or you're traveling with one, the Smokies make a good place to spend it. You get a free day in the national park, a long-running ceremony in Gatlinburg and a handful of military discounts at attractions in Pigeon Forge , Gatlinburg and Sevierville . Here's what we could confirm for 2026, and where to double-check before you go. Free parking in the Smokies on Veterans Day Great Smoky Mountains National Park never charges an entrance fee, but you normally need a parking tag ($5 a day, $15 a week or $40 a year) to park anywhere in the park for more than 15 minutes. Nov. 11 is one of the Park Service's 2026 fee-free days, and the park says parking tags will not be required on those dates . Rangers still enforce the other parking rules, so don't park on the shoulder or in a no-parking zone. Popular trailheads still fill up early, even in November. Nov. 11 is the last fee-free day of 2026. On every other day, keep in mind that a Military Pass or any other America the Beautiful pass doesn't replace

Greene County Thanksgiving Day Outreach seeks volunteers to help feed thousands in need

Volunteers are being sought to help with this year’s Greene County Thanksgiving Outreach, an event which is expected to feed more than 2,500 individuals this year. The annual event held each Thanksgiving Day provides meals throughout Greene County to those who may not otherwise enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. “There is a limit of one meal per household member and requests for meals must be submitted by Nov. 15,” a news release from event organizers says. Those desiring to have meals delivered to their homes may register online via the “Meal Request” link at www.thanksgivingoutreach.org or call 423-467-5144. Last year, the Greene County Thanksgiving Outreach provided meals to more than 2,500 individuals — and organizers expect to feed “at least that many” this year. “Thanksgiving is a longtime American tradition that knows no boundaries,” says Ron Russell, who is serving as chairman of the 2026 Thanksgiving Outreach Planning Committee. “Being able to help the homebound and others in need at this time of the year is meaningful both to the volunteers and the recipients,” he adds. The Thanksgiving Outreach is facilitated by a team of interfaith organizers. Although the event is organized by the faith community, Russell notes that the planning

Republican State Representative David Hawk Disputes Democratic Party Post-Election Numbers

Republican and State Representative David Hawk is debating statistics released by the local Democratic Party the day after the mid-term elections on Tuesday. In a note sent to Radio Greeneville News on Thursday evening Hawk said, “It has come to my attention that in her message related to the November 3rd elections” (which was reported by Radio Greeneville News on Thursday), “Greene County Democratic Party Leader Cheryl Summers suggests Greene County Democrats “celebrate” because “they made progress here in rural Red Tennessee”. She is remarkably wrong in her assessment. Greene County vote totals for Democrats were nearly the same or actually decreased in most circumstances, when comparing 2024 and 2026 November General Elections.
