DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 The pass through seen here has DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 The pass through seen here has a history of a place for hustle and bustle for Cornelius commerce and community.🤝 Once served as a convenient route for cotton to make its way to and fro the farmers’ wagons, the gin mill and the production mill — it is now the current location of the hustling and bustling Old Town patio and performance space. ☺️ Follow @oldtownpublichouse and @publicgroundsnc for announcements of free and open to the public events like Sunday Funday, The Coffee Creative, and more! ☕️ 🎨 🍻 Kudos to #OTPH for converting this once forgotten piece of land into a safe and usable park in the center of downtown.

DID YOU KNOW?🤔 Cornelius once had a train depot DID YOU KNOW?🤔 Cornelius once had a train depot that served both the cotton mills in town, in fact for most of the late 19th and early 20th century, the tracks actually crossed Main Street and had a direct service line to the Gem Yarn Mill (now known as Oak Street Mill) 🚂🚂🚂 Industry flourished along these rail lines from the Caldwell Station to Davidson. Residents would take the train into Charlotte for a day of shopping and entertainment. 🛤 As the economy of this area changed, the station was no longer needed and was demolished in 1955. Does anyone know the site of this the former train depot, what exists there today?

We would like to take a moment to congratulate Dep We would like to take a moment to congratulate Deputy Chief Kevin Fox (far right) on his 30th Anniversary today. 🚨🚨🚨Chief Fox joined as a Junior Firefighter at the age of 15 and has been involved with growing the department ever since. In 1991 when he joined the department was 100% Volunteer and ran around 300 calls a year. Today we staff two stations, run close to 3000 calls a year and our first full time staff will start next week. It’s been quite a journey - Congrats on your 30 years!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . #repost @cornelius_fire
📰 OTC in the news 📰 #repost @davidboraks @wf 📰 OTC in the news 📰 #repost @davidboraks @wfae •••The historically Black neighborhood of Smithville in #CorneliusNC is facing gentrification pressures, so residents are plotting a revitalization. The Smithville Community Coalition told town commissioners Monday it needs financial support from the town and Mecklenburg County to carry out the proposed $11 million plan. The draft plan calls for buying about 25 acres of vacant property; improving roads, water and sewer and other infrastructure; and building about 167 affordable housing units. The new housing would be aimed at current and former Smithville residents as well as public employees, such as police, firefighters and teachers. 🏡🏡🏡 Some town commissioners appeared supportive Monday, but the lone African American board member Thurman Ross, who lives and owns property in Smithville, remains skeptical.

DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 With the help of a $1,000 gift DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 With the help of a $1,000 gift from his mother, Hugh Roy Smith began his professional career as a florist. 💐 In 1934 he expanded his operation to build his first greenhouse and opened a landscape business. 🌿 . H.R. Smith was known as the “king of the rhododendrons,” cultivated snapdragons, azeleas and crepe myrtles. He led a “Beautify Cornelius” campaign with then mayor Harold Little in 1976 and planted trees and shrubs along the railroad tracks 🛤and street corners. . Rows of his crepe myrtles still stand along Main St near the location of the original train depot 🚂 and Brick Row, which was a garden officially dedicated to his honor in 1983. 🥀 . . #oldtowntales #hughroysmith #corneliusnc #flowershop #freshflowers #azelea #crepemyrtle #snapdragon #beauty #townspirit

“We must discover the power of love, the power, “We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world, a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.” ~ MLK ❤️ . #peace #love #mlkday #revdrmartinlutherkingjr #leader #leadwithlove #ihaveadream #martinlutherlingjr
