My daughter, who is 10, was with me and after only being in there for a few minutes started sneezing continuously. She finally had to go outside and wait on the outside ramp for me to finish getting my copies made.

We stayed overnight in our fifth-wheel through Harvest Hosts, and we'd gladly do it again. We had dinner at Tipsy Tomato, then explored some of the other spots around the mills including Mixers, HopFly Brewing Co., Goat Island Bottle Shop, and more. The next morning, we stopped by River Walk Coffee Co. for lattes, refreshers, bagels, and breakfast treats before heading out. The entire place had such a fun, laid-back vibe with plenty to see and do. Definitely a spot we'd recommend!

So I know I can't be the first person to want to hit the Thelonious Monk Trail in Rocky Mount. But…read moreit looks like I'll be the first to write about it. I was visiting Raleigh, and I wanted to do the pilgrimage so bad that I hit the road early one bright Sunday morn headed east. Here's what I saw: 1) Thelonious Monk Plaza - I came into town this way, just a slight bit north of the main downtown strip. This plaza is one in the old-school sense - you won't find a minimall with Bath & Body Works around here, rather it's the old train station. This is where the historical marker is planted that identifies one of the true American greats. It makes sense to have jazz markers by the old train stations - it brings back the America of old, and also reminds you that the musicians generally built their careers by moving out. 2) Thelonious Monk Mural - I walked about half a mile from the Plaza to see this (incidentally, on a bright Sunday morn I was the only sign of life in downtown Rocky Mount). If you didn't know it was a tribute to Monk, you would just think it's a slightly unusual mural - a triangle of houses with a trompe l'oeil river stream/piano keyboard that literally flows out onto the pavement (entitled "Monk's Corner"). This was apparently one wall an arts center that no longer exists, sadly - it's near the Harambee Street Apartments. I walked back to my car via Main Street, which allowed me to look at the attractive old historic buildings in downtown, none of whom were doing any business on Sunday. 3) Thelonious Monk Park - Now this was a slight hunt, considering not even Old Man Google registers this park as a place. Further, there's a street address given near Washington/Dunn, but the sign that names the park is over on Wye which spurs off of Washington. That confused me a bit - you can basically identify the park, but I felt like I was slightly trespassing when I wandered along the residential neighborhood to get there. This is a "park" in the sense that you can have a picnic under the gazebo or push your kids on some swings - otherwise it's just a small green space. Monk's childhood home no longer exists but would have been somewhere on the grounds. 4) Monk Rd - This road, just a block south of Monk Park, was obviously named after the man, but there's about as much significance to the name here as there is to the man they named Washington Street after (whoever that was) - its just the name. Nice that it runs parallel to the train tracks, at least. And that's pretty much it at this point. There's been talk about erecting a statue for Monk here, which would be a great idea - the great John Coltrane statue in High Point would be the model to follow, down to the sound samples and all. Here's hoping that happens. Until then, though, you've got this at least. And if you check it out, put on "Pannonica" for the soundtrack - that's what I was listening to, and it seemed to capture the feel perfectly.

However, it is not the fault of the two ladies who work there; I find fault with the state and not doing anything to fix a broken system. The two women who worked on April 7 did everything, from answering random questions for the people who walked through the door; performing on-road driving tests; as well as processing REAL ID requests. Both did it ALL with knowledge, patience, and kindness, three attributes lacking in today's society. Thank you for all your hard work and most of all for your kindness. I'm sure it's not easy dealing with multiple complaints on a daily basis when you're not at fault. Hopefully the state gets it together sooner than later. (It will take a Biblical event to have everyone processed with REAL ID's by May 7, 2025 when the resources are nonexistent.
