One town on this list has two separate historic downtowns because Fuquay Springs joined with the neighboring community of Varina back in 1963. I love that kind of quirk. It tells you a place grew in its own odd, stubborn way. That same historic character now shares the spotlight with...

Mark Robinson files for bankruptcy, claiming less than $800 in the bank — and $800k in debt

Mark Robinson, North Carolina’s former lieutenant governor, and his wife are seeking federal bankruptcy protection, according to court records filed this month. Robinson and his wife, Yolanda Hill, are seeking personal protection under Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 13 enables wage-earning debtors to manage debt payments in a way that helps them pay off their debt over a period of years, and possibly protect some assets, such as homes, from foreclosure.

Stein awards Order of the Long Leaf Pine to boat builder

Gov. Josh Stein visited on Tuesday to honor a local entrepreneur who has been recognized for both his business acumen and his philanthropy. Eddie Smith, the owner of Grady-White Boats, was recognized during a ceremony at the company's Greenville plant, where he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. "One of the benefits of being governor is that I get to recognize some of the very best people in North Carolina," Stein said before a crowd of about 125 employees and guests. "Eddie Smith was responsible for taking a struggling business and turning it into what we see here today. Grady-White is part of what has made North Carolina the best state in the southeast for manufacturing." But Stein added that it isn't just Smith's commercial saavy that earned him the award. "What's remarkable about Eddie is not just how he built this company, but how he decided to leave it," Stein said. In July, Smith announced plans to place the company into a perpetual purpose trust, which protects it from takeover by outside buyers and supports the interests of the company's 336 employees. Smith was understated in his remarks. He credited employees with doing the hard work of

Consumer complaint leads to paused sales at Triangle gas stations. How to report

State inspectors found problems that could harm consumers at pumps at 15 gas stations across Wake, Durham and Johnston counties. Many inspections happened on routine visits, but inspectors also follow up on consumer complaints. If you spot an issue at the pump, here’s how to file a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards Division. Full story: Gas sales temporarily stopped at 15 Triangle stations. Here’s where and why File online: Go to ncagr.gov , navigate to the Standards Division webpage, scroll down and click the “Complaints & Requests” box to report problems. By phone or email: Call 984-236-4751 or email program manager Chad Parker at chad.parker@ncagr.gov to flag an issue. What inspectors look for: Problems like “abnormal performance” and “meter creep” — when the gas pump trigger is released but the meter keeps climbing — can get a pump tagged and taken out of service. In general, these inspectors check weighing and measuring devices for accuracy. Complaints drive inspections: Of the Triangle visits between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, consumer complaints prompted inspections at 19 stations. Chad Parker, measurement manager with the Standards Division, said complaints tick up when gas prices rise. Where pumps

NASA confirms sightings of fireball above NC-TN border

NASA confirmed sightings of a meteor seen above Tennessee and North Carolina at the beginning of November. The report from NASA comes several days after the object was first reported, with many sharing photos and videos on social media of the object captured at around 7:45 p.m. on Nov. 5. NASA has now confirmed that the object was a small piece of an asteroid, which disintegrated above Tennessee, just south of Chattanooga. While there is an active meteor shower occurring, NASA added that the meteor was unrelated to it. Here's everything we know. North Carolina Tennessee fireball: NASA meteor statement NASA confirmed that it used its sky cameras at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia; Huntsville, Alabama; Tullahoma, Tennessee; and a site near the Tennessee-North Carolina border to analyze the fireball, as well as social media photos from eyewitnesses.

You voted for lower prices. How might this election actually affect your wallet?

The reason many North Carolinians went to the polls was to voice their thoughts on President Donald Trump and the actions his administration has taken since he returned to office, News & Observer reporters learned after speaking with voters. Tariffs Trump has implemented have driven up the costs of imported goods. And the war in Iran he brought the U.S. into led to a spike in oil prices and the prices drivers pay at the pump. In North Carolina, the cost of regular gas surpassed $4 a gallon in early October. This time last year, it was about $2.81. But North Carolinians didn’t just vote for — or against — a candidate or party. They approved three constitutional amendments , including two that affect taxes. One amendment sets the state income tax rate cap at 3.5%. The other requires lawmakers to pass a bill limiting property tax increases by local governments, though the amendment did not specify an amount. How income tax rate caps could affect your wallet Capping the income tax rate might seem attractive to voters whose budgets are being squeezed as prices rise and wages stagnate. But Alexandra Forter Sirota, executive director of the NC Budget and
