1. The golden years: ECU performing arts series opens 65th anniversary season this week (reflector.com) — East Carolina University is kicking off the 65th season of its S. Rudolph Alexander Performing Arts Series this week, bringing smaller, more intimate concerts back to Greenville and the ECU campus. Most shows will be held in A.J. Fletcher Recital Hall, with diverse performers, student workshops, and ticket options tailored for the public, faculty, staff, and students looking for high-quality arts close to home.
2. Public hearing set on Sawyer's Fun Park expansion (reflector.com) — Greenville residents have a key chance tonight to weigh in on a proposed expansion of Sawyer's Fun Park, including a driving range, two mini-golf courses, and a restaurant on Corey Road. City planners recommend denying the rezoning and annexation, while nearby neighbors cite noise and traffic concerns and the owners urge families to speak up for more local entertainment options.
3. Questions surface whether officer at center of Ring doorbell camera controversy is still employed (witn.com) — Greenville residents are awaiting answers after new public records suggest the police sergeant involved in last month's Ring doorbell camera incident may no longer hold her position. The Greenville Police Department says its internal investigation into the Moseley Drive encounter is complete but cites legal limits on what can be shared, promising more information when possible.
