I reckon now is as good a time as any other to plug the new Dry Cleaners behind the florist in the center behind the funeral home... everyone around should utilize this new business... I'd hate to see us loose these folks... they are a nice young couple from Walnut Cove... and they have an alterations lady too! Ya'll don't drive to Oak Ridge and carry your stuff down there when there's someone up here in Stokesdale that can clean those Easter outfits for ya'!

| ain't it funny how quickly we get addicted to using our cards at the pumps! I'm bad... I won't usually stop at a station where I cannot use my card.... keeps me from buying stuff I don't really NEED!

Crossroads Auto. is open and located behind Bills Truck Sales. Stokesdale probably has more mechanics per citizen than our neighbors.Stokesdal has always had lots of businesses like this. Thats the entrepeneur spirit that is alive here, lets try not to snuff it out with to many regulations that would cause a business not to be profitable. Of course there are some businesses that we do need to keep out ie: adult establishments(i think everyone knowws what I mean)

I'm a latecomer to this thread, and a newcomer to Stokesdale, but Go-o-o-leee.. there is so much I love about it!
Allow me to shamelessly plug my two favorite businessess --- which I have no affiliation with.
The Stokesdale service station. Remember the ding..ding ding.. of a full service gas station as you drove in? I don't have to get out of my car, or buy things I don't need. Heck, they're busy pumping gas, and cleaning my windows, and running my debit card for me. I LOVE this place!
I also love Sadies. Fabulous soaps and other great stuff at wonderful prices. Their cracked heel stick is the BOMB!
Oh, I almost forgot the CPA'S on the corner who did my taxes at a fraction of what I would have paid in my previous state. I'm a native Tarheel- recently returned to NC .. although I've never lived in this part of the state.
Danged glad we landed here in rural-vania.. where life is simple, the people are great, and where honestly folks, you have no idea what "real" traffic is. ( I just had to chuckle at the thread about traffic on another forum)
Try spending two hours in bumper to bumper gridlock just to go 30 miles. Twice a day. Each way. For years. Then you'll know what real road rage is :-)
Anyway, it's nice to meet y'all and good to be home!

Welcome to Stokesdale, Kate!
I got here last year and like you, we love it here! If you read my previous post, I plugged the new dry cleaners and the Bi-Rite. Folks are so nice there! We've yet to meet anyone that has not been very hospitable.
As for the traffic, I'm afraid that if we don't upgrade our roads soon, we may face the "gridlock" that plagues other areas. Like Barney said on Andy Griffith... "Nip it in the bud"!!

Gotta agree with you there. I watched it get completely out of control in our previous state, and it will cost multi-billions which that state doesn't have to even begin to try to improve it, by which time those improvements will be obsolete because the development continues at such a fast rate. There just wasn't any long term planning for the growth impact (schools and services) or the roads, IMO.
I'm so happy to see that people in these forums stay abreast of the issues, attend Town Council and Boards of Supervisors meetings, make their voices known, and use their voting power.
Regards,
Kate
