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...

These 9 North Carolina Towns Are Attracting Real Estate Investors, And Locals Are Taking Notice

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...

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.

I-77 lanes to close near Lake Norman for construction of a 10-lane bridge

Beginning Monday, crews will install temporary single-lane closures on Interstate 77 near N.C. 150 exit 36 in Mooresville for construction of a 10-lane bridge, state highway officials said Friday. The closures will allow Charlotte-based contractor Blythe Development to build a new safety barrier wall and add pavement markings, according to a news release by the N.C. Department of Transportation. “Once those are installed, traffic will shift from the median to the outside lanes while crews begin building interior bridge bents,” according to the news release. Officials didn’t say how long the closures will last. Project will ease congestion, NCDOT says The Lake Norman-area closures are part of a $249 million project to improve the I-77/N.C. 150 interchange and widen N.C. 150 from N.C. 16 in Catawba County to the U.S. 21/N.C. 150 interchange in Mooresville. “The improvements will accommodate growing traffic volumes and ease congestion,” officials said. Construction began last year with crews improving storm drainage, installing utilities and moving traffic signals, according to NCDOT. “Bridge construction will be broken into multiple phases, and traffic will be maintained on the existing lanes of N.C. 150 at all times,” according to Friday’s statement. Work on the overall 15-mile project is expected

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

Digital nomads, as they are often called, use technology to work remotely while moving between different cities and countries. For some, that lifestyle means spending several months abroad. For others, it means regularly changing their surroundings while maintaining a career that can be managed from virtually anywhere with a reliable internet connection.
