preview

Residents of a coastal North Carolina county stood on a roadside on Monday wearing masks and holding signs welcoming non-resident property owners back to the area after they were banned because of the . About 20 people wearing masks and holding handmade signs alongside U.S. Highway 158 greeted motorists, The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported. A plane carrying a welcome banner flew overhead.
