Months after the demolition permit was requested, demolition has finally begun at Cary Towne Center mall. Multiple people were pulled alongside the road, peering through the fence and taking photos while sharing favorite memories from the mall.

Hey everyone, it's WRL? S heather leah and I'm out here today at Cary Towne Center where demolition has begun for many people, this is saying goodbye. Okay. I'm trying to figure something out. It says that I've been muted. Can you hear me? If you can hear me? Please leave a comment saying I can hear you and I will just continue talking. But if it's been muted, I need to know and for some reason something is going on with facebook. Are you able to hear me? I hope you are. I'm going to flip things around and show you. Okay? Wonderful. I don't know why facebook is telling me that I've been muted so we're gonna take a look. Several people have been out here already parked alongside the fence. Coming to see it one last time and say goodbye. I'm so glad you guys can hear me. So there have already been people out here. Even while I came out here to say Goodbye myself, I saw other people coming young, old people who have strong memories of spending time here when it first opened. Believe it first opened in the late 70s and it was open throughout the 80s. I can tell you for me. Um, I've had jobs here. I worked at Suncoast video myself and would eat in the food court. Go get the teriyaki chicken. If you go to WRL dot com and you do a search for Cary Towne Center. I believe a story should come up. That has memories of Cary Towne Center, You guys can see how short I am. I can barely reach over the fence and in that story we actually have photos of how the mall used to look Back in the 80's And 90s and Strong Memories. So it looks like they've started demolition by the food court. The food court seems to still be safe for now. Although I did see the glass windows had been popped out I believe and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that this here was Macy's and then that over there I think was Sears those were not to stores that I frequented. I spent more time on the other side of the mall and I think a lot of people have that. They had certain areas of the mall that they spent more time in than others. Um if you remember, let me know, let me know if you remember there used to be a huge beloved old oak tree that stood out by the mall before it expanded and I met a woman here earlier today and she actually has a piece of that oak tree because when they cut it down they took the wood and turned it into some small wooden acorns And I've seen so many photos of people out here having lunch. You went to carry high even in the 80s. So many memories. What was your favorite store here. What did you come to the mall to do? I know there were mother groups that would come and they'd walk their Children around the mall, take them in strollers and just circle around and get some exercise on a rainy day for many people. This is a bittersweet goodbye. This is Cary Towne Center because the mall has been here in Kerry for decades. Many people had first dates here. They had first jobs here. So there's a bitter sweetness to it. Mhm But it is amazing what it means for the growth of carrie and what could be standing here, what will be standing here and what's going to be done here on this lot. I know that there are of course planning to have epic games HQ but I've also seen plans where they've talked about having um hotel in this area as well as other things to do. But demolition has begun. You remember the tree? The tree was before my time actually. But I've seen pictures and it it was a very grand tree if you've ever seen the the old, I think it's an oak. The old oak that stands outside trader joe's and carry. It reminded me a lot of that one from pictures. Very, very tall, very grand. And there was so I will tell you, I've done some research into the history of the small and again go do a search for WRL Cary Towne Center. I believe the story will come up and you'll be able to see old photos back when ah, back when they had an arcade here at the mall time out the time out arcade and it had that rainbow. I've got pictures of the tickets they used to give out at the arcade. Pictures of the tree, pictures of students having lunch here in the food court. If you remember maybe when the food court had the dip. So the food court didn't always um it didn't always look the way it did in recent years. It used to have like a big dip and you'd go down some stairs and go down into the food court and I might be making stuff up. I feel like I remember a tree in the food court or some sort of centerpiece. Let me know if I'm just making up memories at this point. I'm sharing my personal memories in the history but demolition has started. You can see pieces over here. I think I recognize from inside buildings. If in the comments, you want to share your favorite memory, your favorite store, I'd love to hear that. I'd love to see that. Like I said, there have been other people stopping by and saying goodbye parking alongside the gate here alongside the fence. So after a long wait and lots of discussion, demolition has begun here. There's still plenty of them all left though. So if you want to take a look at it and see how it used to look, You can still see that as well here. It does look like the food court might not be long for this world, which that's where I spent a lot of my time. So I will try to keep you updated on what's happening here on how the demolition is looking, how far along it is. I've been checking by the mall almost every day just to see if the demolition has begun and I did miss it by a few days, it began a few days ago. I'm just gonna walk us over this way to take a look at the the wall is its hole over here and kind of take a look at how it looked before it was torn down but it looks like lots of people are coming to say goodbye and I will try to keep you updated as much as I can with stories on Wre l and with live streams to kind of show you how it's looking what's been torn down and also as they start to build because that's going to be, that's gonna be the happy part when new things start to grow here and there'll be a whole new generation making memories in this spot of carrie Mhm. We're gonna briefly show you the food court, you can see what I mean, I don't know if you'll be able to see it from here, but the windows and the doors have started to be removed from the food court, which makes me think it could be, could be soon and then there's the mall, the son of there is a little bit rough this time of day. But so there it is. So I just wanted to give you guys a look at how the mall stands today. It is starting to be demolished, which means things are happening and things are on the move. Um soon we won't have them all, but we will have our memories. Uh be sure to take a look for the story again, it's an older story, but it's a lot of great memories of them all share your own memories in the comments. If you have pictures from when the mall was still standing, especially if you have pictures of The mall from like the late 70s, early 80s or of the tree. We would love to see those uh, to put them up on the website, but also to just preserve them and save them for the future so that we can remember the days of Cary Towne Center. So thank you guys for joining me today and again, we'll try to keep you updated on what's happening here at Cary Towne Center and of course the new headquarters for Epic Games. So we'll try to keep you updated with that. Again, If you have memories or photos, please send them my way and do a search W. R. A L Cary Towne Center, you should be able to find that story with memories and I'll be sure to put it in the comments. You can help help you find it. It's got a lot of great old photos and memories from them all. So kind of let you relive that nostalgia. Thank you guys for joining me today, to take a look at how the mall is doing and to start to say goodbye and then to start to say hello to what comes next. Thank you everybody.

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmeth in the WRL severe weather center. We have some nice weather to wrap up the work week. We'll have mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. High temperatures today will warm into the lower eighties. We have a ridge of high pressure that's east of us right now and that's blocking the rain and the storms that are well west of us from making it into North Carolina and that will continue through the day tomorrow and most of Tuesday as well. But there have been numerous severe thunderstorms west of us from parts of the Midwest into the plains and down into the deep south as well. We've had numerous tornado reports, lots of damage reports coming out of especially Oklahoma from storms last night. One fatality in Oklahoma as well. This has been a very rough storm system and they're likely going to have another round of severe weather again. West of us, there's a level three out of four risk for at least part of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. Uh for us, we're going to stay nice and quiet for the next couple of days. High pressure is going to kind of rule for now keeping all of that rain well to the west of us for the next couple of days. By the time we get to Tuesday, the high pressure system starts to move a little bit away from us and weaken a little bit. And by Tuesday night, we'll have the potential for a couple of showers. Here's 10 p.m. Tuesday, a couple of showers possible. Wednesday morning at five A ma few light showers possible and really on and off throughout the day, we'll have that potential for a stray shower or maybe even an isolated thunderstorm on Wednesday. It doesn't look like we'll get a ton of rain, but it really is our next best chance for rain. It's about a 30% chance for a shower storm on Wednesday. It's going to stay warm for the next several days. Highs in the eighties on every single day of the seven day forecast. The warmest day being Friday with a high of 87. Saturday is the common race for the cure and the weather hopefully will cooper with that. We have about a 30% chance for a shower or storm lows in the mid sixties and then high temperatures will climb into the low to mid eighties. Saturday afternoon.

<p>To, to all of you and we bring you greetings. I would like to also extend gratitude to other elected officials who are joining us today. If you'll please stand. Thank you. I want to also start by expressing how thrilled we are to have you here today. We are proud of our city here in Greenville. And I think that pride is evident in this room today and why wouldn't we be proud? Greenville is a thriving hub of, of eastern North Carolina. We have a growing population, a diverse based manufacturing manufacturers, top notch educational institutions, state of the art, medical facilities and vibrant art and entertainment scenes. The people in Greenville are as friendly and as talented as they come. We all work well together and that is a tremendous, tremendous key to progress. There are so many reasons to be proud of Greenville and today I'm thrilled that our city is getting even better with all of that being said, I would like to introduce to you a Greenville native and Chief Deputy Secretary of Commerce Jordan Richard. Well, thank you so much. Uh Mayor Pro Daniels. Uh it is a beautiful day and uh uh especially great day to be back home in Greenville, North Carolina. Uh So, on behalf of uh our North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Michelle Baker Sanders, uh Good afternoon. Uh Today really is not only the celebration of an incredible partnership uh with the city of Greenville, Pitt County, uh the Greenville Eastern North Carolina Alliance, the Department of Commerce, our, our partners across the state. Uh But it's also calls to celebrate uh some really exciting news and the first uh such announcement this year in Pitt County across the state in North Carolina, we are uh already ahead of our pace from last year. Uh Having a wonderful year in terms of economic development. Today is a wonderful announcement of that. Since January across the state, we've announced uh 39 projects and this will be our 40th, more than 3600 jobs across North Carolina and over $2.5 billion in economic development investment statewide. And today's news uh is also great as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of Greenville, North Carolina. Over those 250 years, we've seen Greenville change and evolve and the evolution of Greenville as a community is parallel to what we've seen across the state from an economy once dependent on agriculture and tobacco. Pitt County and Greenville is transformed into an economy that's supported by medicine uh and advanced manufacturing and clean energy jobs like we're here to talk about today. Uh having grown up here and watch that evolution and watch Downtown and Dickinson Avenue evolve and having gone to school across the street at CMXS Middle School, it's especially gratifying to be back and to be working on wonderful announcements like this. Uh And today, it's also an incredible honor to introduce uh someone who I've had the great pleasure of working for in Raleigh for the past 7.5 years. Uh He's been working to build a stronger North Carolina uh where everyone has as an opportunity to live in safe communities, get a quality education, uh have good access to great jobs and great health care. Uh And where everybody has a chance to live lives of purpose and abundance. And today he'll share with the Greenville community some outstanding news. Uh that'll help get us closer to North Carolina, North Carolina. That's more diverse, more inclusive works uh even more for all the people of this great state. Uh So it's my honor now to introduce to you the 75th governor of North Carolina Roy Cooper. Thank you so much, Greenville, aren't you proud of Jordan Witcher? Let me just say, Chief Deputy Secretary of the Department of Commerce. And uh you might notice that I have a lot of people in my administration who are from Eastern North Carolina. It's because I grew up here and I know the kind of people that they are. So I am so happy to be here. With you today, seeing so many friends and familiar faces uh and to celebrate what's gonna happen today. Uh Thank you Marquita for being here, Representative reader. Thank you for, for, for being here. Thank you representative for you. Uh Thank you, appreciate all of you guys candy. Thank you for coming. Very grateful for you coming and being part of this. Um II, I wanna thank Mayor Pro TEM Daniels and say thank you very much for your hard work here. But it's great to join with you today with an outstanding announcement for the city of Greenville, Pitt County, eastern North Carolina and I am our entire state. I am so proud to announce that Bovi at Solar, an international renewable energy company has selected North Carolina for its first North American solar panel manufacturing facility that will create 900 jobs and invest $294 million right here in Greenville, North Carolina. Our economists predict that this project will lift North Carolina's economy by more than $2.9 billion over the next 12 years. This economic development. When shows us how teamwork, teamwork and that's a fitting word here in front of Dowdy Ficklin Stadium, teamwork and our amazing workforce. Keep bringing advanced manufacturing jobs to our state here in Pitt County. You have a great legacy of manufacturing, making everything from life saving pharmaceuticals to packaging personal care products and now comes important components for clean renewable energy. North Carolina is becoming an epicenter for clean energy that's putting money in the pockets of North Carolina families and small businesses. And as we've learned in North Carolina the last few years, a clean energy economy is a strong economy, providing American security. North Carolina is a leader in that 19 billion in capital investments and nearly 16,000 good paying manufacturing jobs created here since 2021 with the fourth largest producer of solar energy in the country. And with our bipartisan clean power plan that will get us producing zero emission clean energy by 2050. That means a lot more solar panels need to be made right here in North Carolina. This announcement means that they're going to be made right here. And North Carolina's emergence as a clean energy leader has fueled our growth and helped set us apart as the number one state to do business in the country for two years in a row, we all get to celebrate that recognition and much of the credit goes to our well trained, dedicated and diverse workforce, the people of North Carolina, they make up the best workforce in the country. And Bovi at solar is gonna find out about that. And our university Chancellor Rogers, thank you for hosting this today. Our university and community college systems including East Carolina Pitt community College and our research institutions and workforce partnerships help North Carolina stay first in talent coupled with our central east location, East coast location and includes easy access to transportation infrastructure by land, plain sea. And of course our excellent quality of life. North Carolina continues to be a top choice and we don't take opportunities and announcement like these for granted because we know that companies like Bovi at solar can choose to locate anywhere in the world, but they chose us. And that's why we must continue to increase our investments in education, workforce training in our public schools and in early childhood education, that is absolutely critical. This announcement is the result of strong collaboration by company executives, elected officials across both aisles and economic development professionals. In addition to Secretary Sanders and the Department of Commerce, I'd like to thank our Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina that works so well led by Chris Chung works so well with our Department of Commerce, our North Carolina General Assembly. Those members are here today, our Golden Leaf Foundation, our Greenville Eastern North Carolina Alliance, Pitt County Electric Cities, Greenville Utilities Commission and the city of Greenville.
