I recently sent a birthday package to my grandson in Pine Bluff, NC. My son had just recently…read moremoved, and I inadvertently transposed the house number for which the package was to be delivered. Upon tracking the package, it showed it had been delivered. Meanwhile, my son stopped the mail carrier one day to inquire about the package. The person he spoke to was actually the Post Master, covering deliveries. She advised my son to have me call her the next morning. My phone call was answered by a very pleasant, understanding, and compassionate Post Master named, Danielle. She assured me she would work on trying to retrieve the package, and kept me informed every step of the way. In the end, the package was retrieved by Danielle, from a working family who had planned to return the package to the P.O., but had not been able to do so yet due to conflicting work hours. My grandson received his birthday present, and was delighted. I received a greater gift, knowing there are still wonderful people in this world! Both the people in the household who had received the package and planned to return it, and Danielle, the Post Master for working above and beyond her duties, especially since the initial error was my wrong doing! Thank you to all involved in locating and delivering this package to my grandson! Your actions were hands down first-class, and much appreciated!

How does one rate a military base? I mean, they're not meant for tourism or public visits but if…read moreyou are family/friends coming to see your soldiers and/or attend a graduation of some sort, or maybe you're a solider transferring to Bragg and want to see what it's like maybe this will help. It's Huge! Fort Bragg is one of the five largest military bases in the US. It's basically it's own town and if you are a soldier coming here for a long term station you may want to think about shipping your vehicle over or you're going to have to make friends real quick to ride to formations and such with as they are often a good long walk away from barracks. For family/friends visiting, I'd suggest staying at a hotel on base such the IHG hotels as they are just as nice as most the ones in the town of Fayetteville, in a lot safer location, and close as you can get to your soldier. The barracks here are standard military barracks, cement floors, fans that look like they'll fly off the ceiling but definitely work to cool you down, simple kitchens, pretty gross bathrooms, a window view of the building next to you, etc. There are definitely different levels of quality depending on rank and if you get lucky enough to move up to newer rooms. Being next to a PX, gym, or dining facility is a perk as well and pretty common for many. There's really not much to do on base for visitors. You will have to either Uber/Lyft (Lyft is cheaper generally) onto base or if you are driving yourself, go to the visitors center to get a pass of some sort which is at the front gate. You can bowl on base with your soldier, shop at the px or the mall behind the IHG moon hotel, and get some work done at Starbucks (one of the few places you don't need a military ID to spend money at). Other than that, I'd recommend going to "downtown Fayetteville" and having lunch at The Fried Turkey Sandwich Shop, getting a cupcake at The Sweet Palette, seeing a movie at AMC 14, and visiting the Airborne and Special Operations Museum - all off base. Make sure to check the hours of the museum as they are a little funky. Overall it's a pretty standard military base. I've met some incredible soldiers that work/train there and heard some pretty terrible things about the civilians that run the cafeterias, which disappoints me. The hours for these military cafeterias are ridiculous as well, closing multiple weekends at a time and choosing random hours to shut down during the week. Personally, if I could change anything about this base, it'd be the cafeteria staff's attitude/respect for the soldiers and their open hours, as the soldiers are required to pay hundreds for a monthly meal card and can't even fulfill that with the amount of times they close up. That's just not cool, looking forward to change.

Yelp merged it with the one I reviewed on August 4, 2025 that is in Carthage. They are 40 miles apart and I can't be bothered to argue with Yelp about fixing their error. *] This marker is just to the south/east of downtown Carthage and points out some pre-Civil War history. The marker has the same text on both sides. It reads, "This street is the route of the Fayetteville-to-Salem plank road, a toll road 129 miles long, built 1849-54." It is marker number K-26 and it was erected in 1948 by the Archives, Conservation and Highway Departments. The 129-mile toll road built between 1849 and 1854 during a statewide push to improve transportation infrastructure. Inspired by similar roads in Canada and the northern U.S., it was part of a broader plank road movement that saw nearly 500 miles constructed across North Carolina by 1860. Despite initial enthusiasm and investment, the roads proved costly to build and maintain, and were quickly overshadowed by the rise of railroads, particularly after the North Carolina Railroad opened in 1856. The Civil War and economic downturns ultimately ended further development, leaving the plank roads as a brief but ambitious chapter in the state's transportation history.
