  1. Once upon a time we were supposed to get a GE plant on Connelly Mill Rd,on the left just past the railroad tracks.As usual,the local powers that be couldn't see fit to provide incentives.They were going to start employees off at $10 per hour in a time when the rest of us were lucky to get $5.So much for that.
