Historic NC BBQ joint is closed indefinitely after car crashes into building
A driver lost control Thursday, Nov. 12 afternoon and crashed into one of North Carolina’s most historic barbecue joints. Only the back wheels and trunk were left sticking out of B’s Barbecue after a car barreled into the cinderblock building, leaving a hole right next to the window where customers have ordered plates of whole hog barbecue for nearly five decades. The crash occurred just after 5 p.m. Thursday, co-owner Tammy Godley said. Her sisters and B’s co-owners Judy Drach and Donna McLawhorn were still at the restaurant when the car ran into the building. “Everybody is good, we’re just a little lost in what we need to do,” Godley said in a phone interview. “Judy got banged up a little bit, but she was checked out and she’s okay. She’s really sore today, the coolers and things were pushed into her.” Greenville Police told The Daily Reflector that driver Donna Swinson lost control while turning onto B’s Barbecue Road, crashing into the restaurant’s main building. She has been charged with reckless driving and failure to maintain lane control, the paper reported. “Her whole car was in the building,” Godley said. “There’s a big hole in the wall, it destroyed

Stantonsburg property rezoned, annexed for 500 homes
The Greenville City Council on Thursday rezoned and annexed nearly 196 acres of property along Stantonsburg Road west of town despite concerns neighboring residents had about flooding and the impact on their properties. The project developer, Walton North Carolina LLC, requested the property be rezoned from rural residential under Pitt County jurisdiction to residential agricultural under city jurisdiction for the construction of about 500 homes. After debate, the council unanimously approved the rezoning request for the property, located along along the southern right-of-way of Stantonsburg Road about 200 feet west of Ellwood Drive; it then approved the annexation. In other business, the council also rezoned a .16 acre storefront property on the southern right-of-way Dickinson Avenue, about 60 feet southwest of Ficklen Street, from downtown commercial fringe to downtown commercial. It annexed 5 acres located along the southern right-of-way of Dickinson Avenue about 400 feet west of Frog Level Road. The property is owned by Greenville Utilities Commission, which plans to locate a water tower on the property. It also approved a municipal agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for a citywide traffic signal upgrade. The project, which is expected to begin in 2028, will cost nearly $15.5 million.
