The crime rate is high, and many people who are looking at spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a house just aren't really looking at downtown Goldsboro, even if they enjoy visiting for Center Street Jam or a nice night of dinner and drinking at Torero's. 

Lots of stories from potential applicants and where my places are vacancies are low, houses are selling so tenants are displaced and there are some bad places (mold, can't drink the water). 

If you want to grab a coffee or drink once you get settled, let me know.  

I’ve seen different things like alcohol, baking soda etc, but am wondering if any of you have had to deal with this?

Don’t drink the coolaid.

See if they'll have a drink with you and ask them what the worst part of being a GC is, and then research why those are problems.

It evokes mustachioed men smoking cigars and drinking brandy.

Apparently the coffee was being served so hot (190 degrees, which is much hotter than coffee is normally served) because of a policy McDonalds developed based on consumer research that showed people were more likely to spend additional time/money at their franchises if they had to wait longer for their coffee to cool down enough to drink it (if consumed at the temperature served, it would burn people's mouths and throats).

And you will go the furthest, if you avoid doing drink & drugs.)

Have a good plan to handle trash on a quasi-commercial scale.6: Alcohol + large groups = Party.
