Welcome to CityView Today! March is just around the corner, and to get you ready for a new month, we’ve compiled 25 of the top events happening in Cumberland County. Our To-Do List is packed with outings to make the most of your month.
In today’s newsletter: Senior Columnist Bill Kirby Jr. returns with his Friday notes column, writing about J. Cole’s sold-out concert at the Crown Coliseum for the upcoming tour of his new album and more. Plus, the N.C. State Board of Elections voted 4-1 against a request to throw out the town of Godwin’s November election results and hold a new one. Godwin town board candidate Dennis Smith Sr., who made the request, told CityView he plans on appealing the decision.
