Cedar Grove was established in 1800. The main entrance is a stunning triple-arched structure that…read morestands in front of a 12.5 acre property. The cemetery was added to the the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. I was here to visit the final resting place of Pepsi inventor Caleb Bradham but there are others interred here including William Joseph Williams who painted the "Masonic Portrait" of George Washington. Bradham's stone is quite far back and unremarkable. There were a couple of Pepsi bottles on it that make it easier to find. The center fountain is impressive. Many of the headstones are in good condition but many are illegible and the carvings are lost to time. [Review 18902 overall - 3386 in North Carolina - 2425 of 2022.]

This cemetery was recommended to us by the host at our bed & breakfast, but I had also learned…read moreabout it from my research on Yelp. This cemetery, among other people, contains the burial site of the man who invented Pepsi-Cola. That's reason enough to visit, but take time to review the map and accompanying chart at the entrance on the Weeping Arch side of the cemetery and get an idea of who else is buried here. Some of the locations were hard to find because the portable maps were all out, but if you reference an app on your phone (Find-A-Grave) you can get pretty good coordinates for any of the locations that you're looking for. Overall, a worthwhile trip to pay respects to various people who have made their impact in the New Bern area.

Curtis was a patient agent, and stayed with us all the way until we finally found our perfect place on the Neuse. He saved us hundreds of dollars with his experience, knowledge of the area, gentle recommendations, timely emails, texts, and voice messages. We highly recommend him if you're looking to move near or around the New Bern, NC area--especially in Craven, Beaufort, Pamlico, Jones or Carteret County. He's quite amazing. --Phil and Cathy, Cary, NC

Small town little local theater that showcases music, plays and movies…read more They have a events list for the next few months and we went on a Sunday afternoon for a movie. They show an older movie one Sunday a month and tickets are purely by donation so it's great to support local ! They also have popcorn, sodas and wine also by donation. So pay what you like. But obviously be generous ! We saw an oldie but goodie which I hadn't seen in years , Out of Africa. Great movie and they had a nice turn out of locals. I loved I was the youngest person there lol. I was happy to make my friend happy by attending somewhere she'd been meaning to try out. The staff are also so nice . Would definetly do this again!

They offer lunchables during the week, and a Saturday pizza night. With that said, they advertise that they lock all doors and have sensors on them. That is not the case-the front door does make a sound when you enter but the second door, leading into the daycare area is not locked, no sound, and there is not always someone there assess who has walked in. When I asked if this would be addressed after the preschool shooting a few years ago, I was told by the owner that "no, changes will be made, and we'll miss having your kid here." With that said. We use this service sparingly, just be aware that it's not secure

A $41.99 VGA to HDMI adapter that she will never use? You can buy the same adapter online for $7.99. McAfee anti-virus software for $50? Windows 10 has anti-virus software built in. To make matters worse, they charged her $20 Logitech wireless keyboard and then didn't put it in the package with the new computer. They also included some random computer plug that belonged to a Dell computer, not her HP. How do you mess so many things up? Staples exists solely because they sell overpriced garbage and prey on elderly people and people who don't know better about technology. Save your time and money and talk to your grandkids instead of a so-called "professional" at Staples.
