Construction just kicked off on a 10-room boutique hotel in little Washington.  It's called the Main Street Inn and will be located on a vacant lot between the Bank Bistro and Salon 208, which is owned by the developer.

Washington is a great town and this is only going to make it better.  Excited to see what else is in store for the area!

Greenville today and this is by far busiest town and booming in northeastern NC.  Home of ECU, huge Vidant Medical Center (largest hospital in 20 plus county area) and hub of manufacturing.  The campus has added several new buildings.  Field of Honor downtown for Veterans day.  Lots of new large apartment complexes like those found in Charlotte or Raleigh.

Greenville is booming.   Great city to study Planning in!  It's so neat to see all the new development springing up everywhere.

Oh I do know as a BS in Urban Planning grad from ECU myself.   My old dorm for 3 years was featured in the photo bomb above Scott Residence Hall and I was once the President of College Hill area residents council.   The Brewster building was ugly was I was there and still is today too LOL.  Love how the campus looks so much better now.

Small world!  Let me know if you ever come back to visit!

I'm about to finish my planning BS in May.  Ready to get out of Brewster—it is currently under investigation for having contributed to multiple professor deaths from pancreatic cancer.  But the rest of campus is great!

Check out this massive student housing apartment complex.  This would be HUGE in Raleigh or Charlotte and it is gigantic in Greenville   Think it is called the Jolly Roger in honor of the ECU  Pirates. 

Couple from downtown New Bern one of the prettiest towns in NC.  Also last week.   Ate dinner at the very popular Morgan Tavern downtown.  

Sunset over Trent River.

This will actually be in Kinston. New Bern is home to Craven Community College. Coincidentally, where I went to nursing school. Go CCC!

Rocky Mount Mills a great renovation project done by the same developer as American Tobacco Campus in Durham.   And some shots of downtown Rocky Mount which needs some more redevelopment in terms of their older buildings and vacant storefronts.  

[rancenc]

Great pictures of Rocky Mount, @KJHburg.    The cities in eastern North Carolina all have a rich history with a wonderful collection of 19th and early 20th century architecture still maintained.

Exciting things in the pipeline for 2022 in Rocky Mount and Nash County.

Elizabeth City and their downtown is pretty vibrant most shop and retail space filled.  Large Museum of the Albemarle is right by downtown too.  This week in the rain on the way back from OBX.   The Virginia Dare hotel is now senior apartments and at 9 stories is the tallest building in NE corner of NC.

Historic Edenton once a capital city of NC in Colonial days.  a must see for history buffs maybe not on a rainy day but the beauty still shined through. 

Visit Edenton - Chowan County - North Carolina

Named one of the prettiest small towns in the South... I would say anywhere in US  and the people there off the charts friendly too.
