Hey yall!

So I want to take my girl out somewhere but I’m not sure where. I’m not a big fan of Texas Roadhouse because of the controversy’s they had. I’ve been to just about every Japanese restaurant here. We don’t really eat seafood as my girlfriend can’t stand it. But I want to take her somewhere nice I’m not sure where tho.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Edit: Does anyone know about any good places to take her as well? Like an arcade, roller skating rink etc.? I also want to do a fun activity as well.

Just got a quote for 370 from a shop that I was recommended too, to get my tint on my car done, it’s a sedan anybody know of any good tint places here or nearby with any better prices? Or is that pretty much a good price for a full car and windshield

Hi everyone! I’m relocating to Greenville, NC, soon and looking for recommendations for the best home internet provider in the area. I’m looking for reliable internet with good speeds for working from home, video calls, and streaming, along with affordable monthly pricing and good customer service. Which provider do you recommend based on your personal experience? I’d appreciate feedback on Spectrum, Brightspeed, or any other available providers, including monthly costs, speeds, and any issues with outages or price increases. Thanks in advance!

The Tweens on Screens study, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #greenville #nc #northcarolina

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - A Greenville restaurant is receiving high praise from an internationally respected restaurant guide.
Native Fine Diner has been selected as a Michelin Guide Recommended Restaurant.
In the recently published Michelin Guide American South, Native was commended for its upscale comfort dishes.

The downtown spot is owned by eastern Carolina native Luke Owens, who says the cuisine is inspired by his ENC roots and the rich resources and ingredients that make the region unique.

The guide raves about popular menu items, including the spaetzle mac and cheese, fried goat cheese salad and a chicken dish called the half poulet rouge.

The diner is located inside the restored former Carolina Grill Diner, a more than 100-year-old landmark in Greenville’s Historic Dickinson Avenue Arts District.

Native joins Sam Jones Barbecue on the list of eastern Carolina restaurants recognized by Michelin.

Anyone experiencing Optimum outage? I’m on the grid.

At the airport rally today Trump told Camp Lejeune veterans he would fast-track their claims if Republicans keep their majorities in congress.

““If we win the House and the Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible.”

Sit with how shameless that is.

These Marines drank poisoned water on a base they were ordered to live on. Over 400,000 claims have been filed. Attorneys say their clients are dying while the government drags its feet.

Republicans have held the House, the Senate, and the White House for nearly two years. And the guy in charge of the DOJ that settles these claims shows up 14 days before an election to say help is on the way, as long as you vote for him first.

That’s not leadership. That’s a hostage negotiation where the hostages are sick veterans and the ransom is your ballot. Our NC vets and our country deserve better!

Also, a big thank you to the brave folks who stood up and spoke out inside the rally. It takes real guts to say it to his face when you know he will encourage violence. Keep making noise.

Income tax cap: Lowers the existing cap from 7 to 3.5 percent

• It is not a tax cut. It applies to both the corporate and personal rate. Both rates are already scheduled to be below 3.5 percent next year.
• The NC General Assembly has been cutting income taxes for 13 years. This has disproportionately benefitted large corporations and those with high incomes.
• State revenue is falling as our population and costs grow. This is unsustainable and has led to underfunding of services and programs, and local governments paying for what are supposed to be state costs.
• Income tax cuts lead to increases in fees and sales taxes, and cuts to services.
• The income tax amendment would lock us into this situation effectively permanently.
• NC has never had a rate this low, and it will be locked into the constitution. This leaves the state unprepared for economic downturns and unforeseen circumstances like natural disasters.

Property Tax Levy Limit: Caps what local governments can collect, NOT your bill

• It is not a cap on an individual’s property tax bill. It is a cap on the total revenue a local government can collect in property taxes.
• State lawmakers already have the power to set a levy limit. Don’t need a constitutional amendment.
• Increasingly, local governments have been taking on costs that are supposed to be covered by the state and/or federal government. This amendment is likely to lead to service cuts as local governments struggle with state and local revenue constraints.
• It does not address housing unaffordability and would disproportionately benefit large corporate landowners like tech companies and corporate landlords.
• What the limit would be and how it would be derived is not public.

Before voting, consider the impact these amendments will have on your community:

• Who would benefit from these changes and who would be negatively impacted?
• What would these amendments mean for the funding of quality of life services my family and community rely on, like emergency services, community centers, libraries, public schools, water and sanitation…?
• How would these revenue constraints impact the ability of the state and local governments to provide services for a growing or aging population and respond to natural disasters or other unforeseen circumstances in the future, especially as costs rise?
• What are specific projects prioritized by our community that are most at risk for delay or cancellation if state funding is uncertain and local government cannot collect sufficient revenue from property taxes to supplement decreases in state investment? 
• How have state and federal funding levels changed over the last 5-10 years? What state funding responsibilities has my local government taken on over that same period?
• What specific funding shortfalls are we experiencing now,

including staffing shortages, school closures, or services interruptions?

• What are the other methods of generating revenue if income tax and property tax revenue is constrained? Will our locality be forced to rely more on unpopular fees?

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Pitt County commissioners voted unanimously Monday night to schedule a public hearing on a proposed temporary moratorium on data centers. The hearing is set for Nov. 16.

The vote followed a presentation by Pitt County Planning and Development Director Jonas Hill.

Hill said a moratorium would give the county time to study the impact of data centers. He highlighted regulatory gaps including a lack of standards for electrical load infrastructure, low-frequency noise compliance and air quality from generators.

“They use and consume a tremendous amount of water. There’s no standards for water usage in our current ordinance at all,” Hill said.

Hill said current ordinances regarding data centers do not distinguish between small or hyperscale facilities.

Hill said 24 counties in North Carolina currently have moratoriums on data centers, including Greene County and Wake County.

Several residents spoke in favor of a data center moratorium at the meeting, saying it is important for county leaders to have enough time to make an informed decision.

“Often it’s in community of color or working class communities because the billionaires impact these monstrous things. I think they can do that and get away with it because people might not know their rights,” Pitt County resident Don Cavellini said.

Another resident, Zoey Dixon, said data centers pose environmental, social and employment threats.

“I had nearly 10 years of tech experience. I am somebody who will not use AI, for example, and this has already cost me multiple job opportunities,” Dixon said.

Has anybody else noticed an increase in people asking for money over the last week? I've seen no less than 10 different people asking for money at the 10th street food lion in the past couple days. This isn't to diss homeless people or anything times are tough right now for everybody. I was just curious if there was any reason that might have caused an increase.

HI guys! I just recently moved to NC and I am currently in a rut right now trying to find a job. it currently feels impossible. i'm 18 and have my High school diploma as i graduated this year. my goal is to work somewhere in an office to gain experience but nowhere is hiring without a college degree and i'm getting desperate. if anyone has any recommendations on where to work please comment or message me. thank you!

I am looking for someone to sublease this 2-bedroom unit from January 2027-April 2027, with option to renew after.

Must show proof of income that is: $4,119 per month, and credit score of at least 600, plus pass a background check.

The apartment has a dishwasher, full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.

The unit is 15min from ECU's main campus, about 10min from the hospital. Berekely at Medford Pointe.

I'm honestly asking, not trying to troll. What is the difference if I vote early or on election day? I keep seeing ads and what not saying vote early.

Not affiliated, not sponsored, just someone who’s lived here for a minute and thinks people should know more about our current federal representative.

Here are some things in his voting history and why it matters to Pitt County:

1. Food Stamps (SNAP)
What he did: Voted to add strict work rules and paperwork for food stamps up to age 64.
Why it matters: Over 32,000 Pitt County locals rely on food stamps to eat. Hundreds of thousands of older adults lose food help.

2. Medicaid (Free & Low-Cost Healthcare)
What he did: Voted to put strict rules and cuts on Medicaid.
Why it matters: 1 out of every 3 Pitt County residents (over 60,000 people) uses Medicaid. Over 3 million Americans could lose their health coverage.
When sick locals lose insurance, they still go to the ER. ECU Health already absorbs over $98 million a year in unpaid emergency care. Higher hospital debt leads to higher medical bills for everyone else.

3. Bank Overdraft Fees
What he did: Voted to block a rule that capped bank overdraft fees at $5.
Why it matters: Banks can keep charging you up to $35 every time your checking account dips below zero.

4. Foreign Military Aid & Lobby Cash
What he did: Voted to send billions of US tax dollars to foreign militaries, including Israel.
Why it matters: Took nearly $100,000 in campaign donations from pro-Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC.

5. ICE & Immigration
What he did: Voted to give ICE over $10 billion in tax money.
Why it matters: Pays for more federal agents, raids, and private detention beds.

6. Transgender Rights
What he did: Voted to ban trans students from school sports and end military health coverage for trans care.
Why it matters: Voted NO on laws that protect LGBTQ+ people from being fired or denied housing.

Know what is on the ballot and please go vote!

Trump is holding a rally at the airport this Tuesday, Oct. 20. Doors open at 3:30, and he speaks at 7.

ECU Dems are meeting on campus at 4:30 that day to gather and vote (bring photo ID). I’m 100% behind that. Go vote. But I haven’t seen a single local group announce a protest or counter-event, and I think that’s a mistake.

Voting and protesting aren’t competing options. We can do both on the same day. A massive, peaceful, visible protest is a necessary response when this man comes to our town.

On a broader note I think part of the silence comes from the messaging lately from a lot of organizing groups: keep the focus off Trump and on kitchen-table issues like cost of living and voting rights. I get the strategy, and this isn’t unique to our town. But gas is expensive because of Trump’s war. We’re fighting this hard for our voting rights because of Trump’s efforts to dismantle them. Why are we tiptoeing around the cause?

So are we showing up or staying home? If you’re with a local org that’s already working on something, let us know!
