Ok, let me give you good people an update on what to expect in Rocky Mount. I've been hearing loud music all night. I walked down the road to see where it's coming from, thinking maybe it was a nearby neighbor, but it was actually coming from a house that is about half a mile away. Just before 1AM, I called the Rocky Mount police department to complain. They said the location is outside of the city limits, though the city limits sign is farther down the road, so she tried to transfer me to the Sheriff's office, but I was disconnected. The sheriff's office said the location is definitely within the city limits. An hour after complaining, the music was still playing at 2 o'clock in the morning, clearly audible from 1/2 mile away. Apparently, we need an outside agency to police Rocky Mount, because the Rocky Mount Police Department can't or won't enforce the local laws and ordinances and doesn't even know their jurisdiction. If you like hearing someone else's loud music at 2AM full of obscene language that I won't repeat here, well then Rocky Mount is the place for you! Also, someone drove by shooting a pistol out their window earlier tonight. It's just another night in Rocky Mount. Recently, it came out that the corrupt city manager and her friends in the city council spent over $70,000 of taxpayer money on a luxury resort, but if you complain about things like that, you're just a racist. That's what life in Rocky Mount is all about. I just wanted to give you folks an update. I wonder how many people will disagree with these facts. Again, feel free to tell us all exactly what you disagree with in my comments here. Let us all know the real facts if I'm lying for some reason about the reality of Rocky Mount. I grew up here, and it saddens me to see what has happened to Rocky Mount. It was known as "the city on the rise" decades ago, but now, it seems to be the city in demise. People keep complaining, but nothing ever changes in a positive direction here. This city has no future if the decent people who remain here don't work for a solution to the problems. I will do what I can until I move to greener pastures.
