Girlfriend, I drive through Smithfield all the time on my way to my parents' house in New Bern. I know exactly where you are! When I let my imagination get the best of me, I picture this story being picked up by the national NBC desk and airing on the "Nightly News with Brian Williams". A girl can only hope you know!
Great job! I can't wait to see it when it airs, you have to promise to post a link where we can all see it!
