Rolesville, NC

In the 19 years I have lived in Youngsville, I think I’ve only ever been to Rolesville maybe 3 times. Twice while driving through and once to visit the local CVS Pharmacy to pickup a photo order.

For the longest time I would always see construction in progress signs at the entrances to Rolesville, and so I would avoid going there. But it seems more recently that the work is nearly complete.

On a recent drive through I saw a nice floral mural on the face of one building and several shiny new buildings on the street corners.
