Around Town: Goldsboro

  • Goldsboro is like a tune that you want to hum again and again. The music starts with a stroll around the newly renovated and increasingly eclectic downtown. Recorded songs flow from the lamppost speakers. Someone plays the public piano on South Center Street. The wind whistles through the trees. The train tracks rattle. Even the jets overhead, taking off and landing at nearby Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, lend a certain rhythm to the air.
    Stop in for a visit and add your own melody to the mix. You’ll be glad you did.

    I was really sorry to learn the passing of Mayor Allen. This video is what introduced me to him and painted a picture of Goldsboro, making it a place I want to move to. I didn't know at the time I watched that he had passed and it is heartbreaking to say the least. May the city be as loved as when he was it's mayor. 💚

    I was born & raised in Goldsboro. I remember when Mickey's Pastries was downtown. I also marched in Christmas Parades in high school (Eastern Wayne), when Angelo Holman, Jr. was the Band Director (RIP). Looking forward to visiting again real soon...

    Everyone that gets a college education leaves Goldsboro because there are no jobs in the Goldsboro . The few good paying companies left. The people that lived in goldsboro for a long time are didgusted with how they ruined down town Goldsboro, When the mall on Berkley Blv. opened up businesses left downtown Goldsboro like rats leaving a sinking ship, Now they want them back downtown? Good luck with that. All that wasted tax money spent downtown would have been better speny getting companies to come to Goldsboro.
