The Forest City Police Department in North Carolina has issued an advisory after multiple razor blades were found on gas pump handles.

The department published the community advisory on Tuesday to address “multiple instances of razor blades being placed in gas pump handles in Forest City and surrounding areas.” It said that they are “actively investigating” the incidents in cooperation with the state Department of Agriculture.

Welcome to Forest City. I lived there years ago. When I was growing up the county was really booming. Place just really collapsed in the early 2000s once the mills closed. I still have family there, hardly any industry anymore, large drug problem, and random stuff like this.

That was Morganton when I was growing up here. Never imagined this little town would actually transform itself into a hip little up and coming spot. The breweries changed the game for this town because yeah, it was absolutely spiraling the drain when all the factories shutdown in the 90s.

Oh yeah Morganton really has done well since then. My company used to do business with the Carbon plant and I would make regular trips up there. My wife and I still go and eat at Abele’s and stop by Rural King occasionally.

My grandfather worked pretty much his entire adult life at the carbon plant and retired as a foreman.

I live less than 10 minutes from Abele's. My house is on the northern flank of the South Mountains off 18 maybe two miles south of I-40.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
