Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Thanksgiving in North Carolina-- Part 4

TUESDAY, November 24th

Afterwards, I went to Berkely Mall, which has met upon hard times in these Bog Box Days. It is still anchored by the Big Three: Penney's, Sears and Belk's, but unfortunately, there are lots of empty stores. This year, they moved Santa from the center of the mall to a vacant store and have a really neat Leonard Bearstein and Friends animated orchestra playing Christmas songs. There are probably 25 Bears playing instruments and singing. Who needs Glenn Miller?

Next stop was an old florist called Van Roeckel's. It's not Christmas in Goldsboro until you go here to look at the Christmas trees and stuff.


OLD WAYNESBOROUGH

My mom is a member of this commission which has collected buildings from throughout Wayne County and have assembled a turn of the century village on the site of Waynesborough which eventually moved to higher ground to avoid flooding from the Neuse River. My dad was also very involved in this organization when he was alive.

Not Finished with Tuesday Yet. --RoadDog
