Back in the summer of 1996 I came to my beach house in Coralla North Carolina. I had finished high…read moreschool that year and my hair was still blond for a musical I had done in high school. Actually, I had dyed my hair blond not because of a musical play, but because I said I would be doing it after Christmas break for my senior year. I had taken a liking to the hair style of Wesley Snipes in the movie Demolition Man. My hair was in the same style and color as I saw in the movie. I was later told to change me hair color back to black because it wasn't natural for African American to do that sort of thing....this is a story in its self, but to make a long store short, several teachers, myself and my parents fought this stupid decision by some of the other higher up faculty members. So when I walked into the Winks store near the light house of Carolla North Carolina, I looked like a young black punk to some of the older women who worked there. I looked around but did not find anything I liked. I tried on some sunglasses, but found nothing I liked and put the glasses back where I found them. Then I walked over to the porno magazines to looked at some voluptuous naked women. Penthouse, Club and Hustler were three magazines I liked. They had voluptuous women in those magazines that playboy did not seem to offer... It was then that the ladies there spoke up and asked if I was 18 years if age. After seeing I was 18 years old they shut up or so I thought. One of the women called the police on me and told the cops that I was a shoplifter. The police offer greeted me as I was about to leave the store and found nothing on me. One of the ladies walked outside to the police officer holding pair sunglasses that I was supposedly trying to steal. The ladies tried to get me arrested and were pissed off about it when they failed. They told me to never come back to this store. At the time my mind did not notice that they were racially profiling me. The cop had to let me go, but came looking for me later on. The cop had nothing on me, but was trying to scare me and it did not work. Nevertheless, after looking at someone's profile on Yelp, I saw they had visited this store, but did not write a review. Seeing this store brought back this memory. I have been back to this store years later to see these two women, but they have either moved elsewhere or are dead. It was my first experience of racial profiling, but not my last. I once got stopped by 6 or 7 cops for walking through a neighborhood in Seattle Washington to visit my Aunt, but that too is another story. Just thought I would share this experience at Wink's.

Knotts Island Market is located on Knotts Island in Knotts Island, NC. This area is accessible by…read morethe Knotts Island-Currituck Ferry or coming in from Virginia along Route 615. In Virginia, the road is Princess Anne Rd. and changes to Knotts Island Rd. when you enter North Carolina. My visit here was on May 2, 2024. I haven't been down to Knotts Island in quite a while. My neighbor gave me the idea to come down here to get gas for the lawn mower as they sell pure gas (non-ethanol). Coming down from Virginia Beach, it does take some time, but I am glad I came down here. When I first came up to the place, I could tell it looked more like an "old school" gas station. It felt like a bit of history. When I came inside, I was surprised that it was more than a gas station or convenience store. There is a limited supply of this gas, so there is a limit to how much you can get. You will have to pay for gas inside. The attendant inside will hold your credit/debit card while you get the gas and then will charge the actual amount at that time. Gas is available on a first come, first serve basis, so be sure to contact the store ahead of time to ensure gas is available. The area is pretty quiet, so there isn't much to choose from, but there is a lot of natural beauty around. This store looks to be more of a general store and grocery store as you can get fresh produce, etc. Think of this place as an elevated convenience store with much more options than a typical convenience store. Overall, my experience was great here. I'm glad my neighbor told me about this place, and I will look to do this in the future as well. I love the small town vibe to the place. If you are in this area, this place is worth checking out, whether it is for gas or other general items. This is the prime example of supporting a local business.

Layden's Supermarket - A Meat Lover's Paradise!…read more I would highly recommend Layden's Supermarket to anyone looking for top-quality meats and a unique shopping experience. They have the best steaks, chicken, pork chops, and sausages around always fresh and packed with flavor. One of the things I love most is that they'll cut steaks, luncheon meat, and ham exactly to your liking. making sure you get just what you want. Their prices are a great value for the quality you're getting, and the selection is so much better than anywhere else I've shopped. Besides the incredible meat choices, Layden's also offers some grocery staples, homemade candy, sodas, and even smoked whole ham legs perfect for anyone who enjoys a little something extra. Every time I visit North Carolina, I make it a point to stop by Layden's and stock up on as much meat as I can fit in my freezer even if it means driving six to eight hours drive! It's always worth the trip and the money. And let me tell you, the chicken drumsticks are so big, I can only eat one at a time! If you're a fan of fresh, flavorful meats and love discovering specialty grocery items, Layden's Supermarket is absolutely the place to go. The place is so clean and the staff and employees are so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much from us WV.
