A Greenvillian's Advice to the incoming ECU Class of 2017

I've grown up in Greenville all my life, but really don't have any affiliation with ECU besides football games and hometown pride. I'm a "townie" (sidenote: I really hope we aren't called that, I just made it up). ANYWAYS, heres my guide to surviving ghetto-vegas.

DON'T speed on 14th street. 

If you wear a ECU shirt during move-in weekend, chances are everyone will know you are a freshman. 

If you choose to take a picture with the sign at the corner of 5th street, I will judge you, and also thats like a neon sign above your head screaming I'M A FRESHMAN.

Get a GPS.

Don't go past the gas station on 10th Street by the railroad tracks. Unless you're looking for drugs, prostitutes, or wanting to get shot. 

RAINBOOTS

We don't get scared about hurricanes or bad weather, they're the norm, so we just get drunk.

Go to the new walmart. It's cleaner, less busy, and you won't get shot.

The Harris Teeter near campus will card you. They aren't stupid, they know what a fake ID looks like. 

Don't be an idiot.

My friend Weston Vandemerwe is STILL MISSING. We have had a few leads but nothing that has brought him safely home to us. Please continue to PRAY and spread the word. He is an amazing person and we all just want him home. God works in mysterious ways and I truly believe he will take care of Weston wherever he is. 

PLEASE REPOST to spread the word to anyone in the Raleigh Area. He was now last seen outside the convention center near Shaw University in Raleigh. There is a $5,000 reward for just any information anyone might have. Please please please repost and pray like hell.

I think that anyone who has every been to a Eastern North Carolina pig pickin, ate at Parker’s BBQ, or stood in line for 30 mintues at 10:30 am to get lunch at B’s BBQ will agree with this Southern Belle Secret. Nothing beats Eastern NC barbeque and a pint of Brunswick Stew!

Have a good day y’all!

I only eat my uncles and Smithfield’s. haha.

So a car crashed into the mall in Greenville this morning. It’s a huge mall parking lot too, so it’s not like they could’ve ran off the road accidentally and hit it. Curious as to what the story will be on this one.

some kids pranking 911 saying a shooter with an assault rifle at breckinridge appts. seriously wtf. taking valuable resources away from the VERY REAL scene at walmart. grow up.

[greenvillethings]

I think its absolutely ridiculous that you can't even go to walmart in this damn town without getting shot.

  Prayers to everyone involved with this heinous act of violence and a special thanks to all the Greenville Police, Pitt Co. Sheriff, and any other LEOs involved in taking down the monster responsible for all this.

In case you don't know what's going on in the 27858, shots were fired at Kellum Law Firm and Walmart on the blvd. WITN and WNCT reporting shooter in custody.

Well Buzzfeed just tweeted about this and Gville Police feed has the most listeners on broadcastify.

I can’t deal. #onlyingreenville

Did y'all see this beauty of a headline WITN graced us with? Apparently the woman tried to poison her family with Ajax because they wouldn't share their cheese.
