Before Your Next Trip Up I-15, Know These 15 North Carolina Diners Worth Pulling Off For

Here is a quick road note first: North Carolina has no I-15, so this list follows the highway most cross-state drivers actually use, I-40, from the mountains near Waynesville to the flat farmland around Benson. Along that stretch are small-town diners serving biscuits, beef tips, livermush, country fried steak, and pie, all a short hop from an exit.

Pickens County pumps brakes on data center development

Pickens County Council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed six-month moratorium on new data center development Nov. 2, giving county officials time to study how the rapidly growing industry could affect the county and what regulations may be needed before projects move forward. The ordinance, identified as No. 694, would temporarily pause data center development while county leaders evaluate zoning, infrastructure and land-use considerations related to the facilities. The proposal advanced by unanimous vote, with all council members present voting in favor of a first reading. The main topic of the first reading was the county council's desire to make Pickens County a safe area from the environmental risks posed by a data center. "I see it more as giving people peace of mind," Council Chair Alex Saitta said. "I don't support them, I'm not going to vote for one, and I wouldn't imagine the majority up here won't." The vote comes weeks after county officials publicly acknowledged that a real estate agent put in an inquiry to the county to gauge its interest in hosting a data center.

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.

Baxter and Lowrance win Hendersonville City Council seats

HENDERSONVILLE – Gina Baxter and Melinda Lowrance look to have won their bid for reelection to Hendersonville City Council. With all precincts reporting, unofficial results from the North Carolina State Board of Elections show Baxter with 36%, Lowrance with 29%, Groh with 22% and Werner with 11% in the vote-for-two election. Results won't be official until after the canvassing period ends Nov. 13. “I’m deeply honored and excited to continue working for the residents of Hendersonville,” Baxter told the Times-News late on election night. “Our community deserves thoughtful leadership and I hope that I can live up to the charge of being elected to do that for them." Baxter has only been in office for half a term and that may have been to her benefit, she said. “I just campaigned a year and a half ago, so I think I probably had a bit of an advantage there in having my campaign network and framework in place,” she said. "I'm still a little numb, but I'm feeling good," Lowrance told the Times-News Nov. 4. She enjoyed the civil, respectful campaign. "No one got muddy, got dirty with it," she said. Still, she's glad it's over, she added with a
