W A Y N E C O U N T Y Speak Your Mind! 4 THE BUZZ AROUND WAYNE COUNTY JULY 2026 Kids need more fun places other than Chuck E. Cheese, please bring back (All Stars) childhood favorite place Does Fremont consider it to be included in this? After all, it is the most northern town in Wayne County. I need there to be more representation for the homeless people that struggle with men- tal health! I work downtown and constantly come across one very sweet gentleman who is consistently asking for $1-2 for a bus fare. I'm not entirely sure of his situation, but can the city not afford to pay for a bus fare for those who are mentally handi- capped? Can they not supply them with a cheap phone to make phone calls to social security, snap, the library? Goldsboro needs an alpaca chicken and a cracker barrel I love how central we are to the mountains, the sea and our Capital, Raleigh. Wayne County Animal Shelter should have a CLEAR The SHELTER event once a month ..Let's Save Animals By Adoption and Education How about no more property tax after all we paid for it once why do it again Wayne needs kids/ teenagers venues. Mount Olive also needs roads paved/fixed. One more thing, WAYNE county Doesn't NEED another gas station or car wash. Would love to see businesses actually act like they appreciate customers. Customer service went along with common decency right out the door. Fast food places like Zaxby's not accepting cash and other places like taco.bell not even having anyone working a register is ridiculous. I love our devoted staff at the Wayne County Animal Shelter but I wish the hours were more convenient for those who work. If you are driving 45 in a 70 mph zone, get off the road! We are blessed with so many things in Wayne County. I miss when this town was respectful, a decent community and actually cared about one another. Every time I leave the house I almost lose my life because of people either texting and driving or just driving flat out plastered. Why don't we have more community parks close to large subdivisions in the county? Goldsboro and Mount Olive need more things for kids and young adults to do, we have enough restaurants and auto part stores. The downtown Fremont roads haha. The amount of potholes is insane Abolish property taxes, the only tax is a fair tax where we all pay not just a select group. Buy Wayne County NC land back from China. Lastly, investigate fraud where / how/ who are stealing our tax dollars. I have said this before. Antioch Rd. from Big Daddy's Rd. in Pikeville all the way to Wayne Memorial in Saulston needs paving. If paving can't be done, then at least paint new lines on the existing road! Probably been said before, but can we get the rail crossings on 117 fixed? I'd like to mention a new business, 3 Putt Golf. It is located next to Tractor Supply near Dees Diner. Look them up on fb.. We need bike lanes throughout Goldsboro. Bikers need the comfort of safety. Enforce the speed limit on Emmaus Church road, most of it is 45 not 55-60… there are a lot of kids and animals that are always near the road…. Racism in Willowbrook Property Owners Association of Wayne, Inc. Kinda need to get a handle on the begging for money at these stoplights, stop signs or wherever really. Can we get city streets along oak forest grass cut on a regular basis? Why can't we have better county water? Please clean up the crime.. lock up the few that cause most of the havoc. You will see a decrease in crime. Worried about the increasing crime in Goldsboro. Why is this happening & what is the plan to stop it? I am thankful Genoa Road has been resurfaced. Too bad it is like a drag strip and people passing on double lines. Please no more car washes!!!!!! Berkeley Blvd in Pinewood needs to be repaired and paved. Would love to have lighting installed on the service road William Street to the movie theater!! Come out and visit Wayne County's Farm Credit Farmers Market located at 3114 Wayne Memorial Drive. Good local produce, crafts, baked goods, plants and more. Wednesday 9-3 Thursday 9-3 Friday 9-5 Saturday 9-5 Can we enforce no parking in the fire lanes at food lions When my grandkids visit , Chuckee Cheese is the only kids place I know! Taxation is theft The way the courthouse is run is a disaster-- just that simple. Bet you folks don't know this --a tax paying citizen is not even allowed to sit where they want to in a courtroom EVEN BEFORE COURT HAS STARTED--is this freedom, America OR NAZISM? I love the beautiful sunset that I can see from my porch in Eureka. I do not love that my mortgage payment just went up because of propertry taxes. THANK YOU for letting it rip in SPEAK YOUR MIND!!
