See now, you gotta ignore the haters because they always come armed with statistics and facts. Damn those haters. I'm just kidding with you. Goldsboro has never had a voice here at the City-data forums and it's good for them to have one. Perhaps you can start a thread dedicated to Goldsboro kinda like the Greenville Area Developments thread. It is a requirement here at the City-data forums that threads must stay on topic.
You can post about the good stuff happening in Goldsboro and then when the haters show up, request their posts be removed for being off topic.

Thanks I just might do that I do love reading the Greenville thread with a little bit of envy lol but I realize that what's going on in Greenville is good for the entire region of enc, every city in this region has a role to play in the success of the region, we need a regional mentality in the area.
