Harmony Lanes

We are sad to read of a hit and run resulting in the death of a pedestrian on Saturday, Sept. 28. This was at the intersection of Blairmont Dr. and Deerfield Rd. Please contact Boone PD if you know anything about this.

Side note: we’ve asked NCDOT for a separated, protected multimodal path in this area but they say it floods too frequently.
