Humor Columns

[Precious Roy]

We still run a speak up for people who live in the area, so it might as well be a humor column. One lady sent this in.

"I just moved to Rocky Mount, and I must say, I'm disappointed. Everywhere I go there are orange trash bags lined up every 100 yards or so filled with trash. I'm not sure who is throwing this garbage on to the road, but I'm doing my very best to pick up these bags and put them in the proper place. Come on Rocky Mount, we can do better."

If you haven't figured it out, the orange trash bags are the roadside service our inmates perform. They pick the trash up and someone throws the garbage away a couple days later. We laughed about that Speak Up for months.

That's Rocky Mount for you.
