Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing that there are many different cities and communities in Craven County that are not well known.

After the civil war and the expansion of the railroad system post offices became more abundant because they followed the railroads and communities that were founded because of the railroad. The communities affected the most by this are Ernul, Caton, Askins, Wasp, Honolulu, Maple Cypress, Fort Barnwell, Cobton, Perfection, Jasper, Tuscarora, Thurman, Croatan, Pine Grove, North Harlowe, Bachelor, and Blades. These communities were the few that had a formal post office whereas many small communities did not which caused their residents to have infrequences in their mail.

Abstract:
This article explores the relevance of the planning profession and the value of comprehensive plans as an effective planning tool, through a single case study: Raleigh’s recently adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The plan is simultaneously a blueprint for the future and a forum for an ongoing discussion about the future of Raleigh. The plan achieved these outcomes by virtue of the process that created it, the framework under which it is implemented, and the standing commitment to keep the plan current and accountable over time. Raleigh’s success story with the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan highlights the role of comprehensive plans in guiding communities towards long-term success.
