Does anyone remember all of the fuss about Pine Needles LNG Facility being built behind the golf course? Nowadays most people do not even know it exists.Cannot se it from any highway or hear it or smell it.The people that work there couldn't be nicer, a great addition to our town. Thats a large chunk of land that will remain in trees other than what is there now.

| I agree with everything you say, but there's one thing you left out -- what if it somehow one day explodes??? I know the chances of that happening are probably pretty slim, what with new safety precautions and technology and whatnot, but if that were to happen, everybody for miles around would know it was there!!

ZIPPY!!! I think this is one of the things everyone chooses to ignore... We hear that there are all kinds of safety procedures in place, and no one wants to talk about it even being there so as to attract as little attention to it as possible by anyone intent on doing harm... ♥♥♥

you are right everyone would know where it is if the unexpected happened. Majority of the force would be up. Enough land around with no houses to prevent seriopus damage.

| Really? I thought I'd heard it would do lots more damage than that. Am I right that this was something that was approved by our County Commissioners long before Stokesdale became a town?

Pretty sure our town was formed and had a hand in it. I know they did because I remember going to the meetings(first sentence jogged my memory). It is a storage facility and the gas is liquified and so it is extremely stable.

| it would be nice if all of the main stree awnings were painted the same color... like a dark green or something... some of the store fronts look real nice and then there are the others..... also always wondered why the lamp posts don't go all of the way down the street? They just kinda stop about 1/2 way.. Last edited on Sep 4th, 2006 04:29 pm by DToney

DToney, While some folks might like for all of the buildings to be painted one color, others might prefer something like Charleston, SC's "Rainbow Row!"
I think some people have the impression that the town owns and controls that property.... In addition to the 25 acres purchased by the town just over two years ago, the town doesn't own anything except the deputy sheriff's patrol car, a generator for the town and some office equipment for town hall. In fact, the beautiful tables that Council members sit behind were crafted and donated to the town by a local resident.
Local businesses are run by individuals, not by town officials. Several of the downtown buildings are owned by SouthRich Partners, LLC, who have renovated many of them. They also paid to have the brick sidewalk and the lampposts installed. Owners of other buildings in that area have evidently been approached to get their support for extending the sidewalk and adding more lampposts, but that has not yet happened. As you frequent those businesses, you could certainly express your feelings to them about this, but it is their property and their decision.

| it would certainly look more uniform if they all looked alike... or at least similar.

Who wants to wear a uniform??? What about being able to express your individuality??     ♥♥♥
