Sucks and those who do it deserve prison, but I still wonder if crappy stuff like this has always happened but just get a lot more exposure due to social media

Welcome to Forest City. I lived there years ago. When I was growing up the county was really booming. Place just really collapsed in the early 2000s once the mills closed. I still have family there, hardly any industry anymore, large drug problem, and random stuff like this.

That was Morganton when I was growing up here. Never imagined this little town would actually transform itself into a hip little up and coming spot. The breweries changed the game for this town because yeah, it was absolutely spiraling the drain when all the factories shutdown in the 90s.

Oh yeah Morganton really has done well since then. My company used to do business with the Carbon plant and I would make regular trips up there. My wife and I still go and eat at Abele’s and stop by Rural King occasionally.

My grandfather worked pretty much his entire adult life at the carbon plant and retired as a foreman.

I live less than 10 minutes from Abele's. My house is on the northern flank of the South Mountains off 18 maybe two miles south of I-40.
