Greenville Things

I've grown up in Greenville all my life, but really don't have any affiliation with ECU besides football games and hometown pride. I'm a "townie" (sidenote: I really hope we aren't called that, I just made it up). ANYWAYS, heres my guide to surviving ghetto-vegas.

DON'T speed on 14th street. 

If you wear a ECU shirt during move-in weekend, chances are everyone will know you are a freshman. 

If you choose to take a picture with the sign at the corner of 5th street, I will judge you, and also thats like a neon sign above your head screaming I'M A FRESHMAN.

Get a GPS.

Don't go past the gas station on 10th Street by the railroad tracks. Unless you're looking for drugs, prostitutes, or wanting to get shot. 

RAINBOOTS

We don't get scared about hurricanes or bad weather, they're the norm, so we just get drunk.

Go to the new walmart. It's cleaner, less busy, and you won't get shot.

The Harris Teeter near campus will card you. They aren't stupid, they know what a fake ID looks like. 

A body found along westbound Interstate 40/440 near Hammond Road in Raleigh Tuesday afternoon has been identified as a missing Apex man, police said. The death of Weston Michael Vandemerwe, 23, is being investigated as a hit-and-run crash.

  Prayers to everyone involved with this heinous act of violence and a special thanks to all the Greenville Police, Pitt Co. Sheriff, and any other LEOs involved in taking down the monster responsible for all this.

In case you don't know what's going on in the 27858, shots were fired at Kellum Law Firm and Walmart on the blvd. WITN and WNCT reporting shooter in custody.
