Good morning, Fayetteville.

Former County Commissioner Billy King died on May 28 at 78 — his decades-long service on the Board left a lasting mark on local government for the community.

Billy King, known for decades of public service (he served on the Cumberland County Board from 1990 to 2014), died May 28; his funeral is today at Lewis Chapel Missionary Baptist Church.

He mentored local Black leaders and supported education and community development.

Local food lovers surveyed on June 5 picked 10 top food trucks, with Schnitzelhouse praised for its authentic German fare and other vendors offering Korean barbecue, gourmet grilled cheese, and more to help Fayetteville residents decide their next meal.

An Observer survey named Bus Stop Melts and Yinzers at Haymount Truck Stop as Fayetteville’s favorite food trucks earlier this week, a nod that highlights local tastes in mobile dining.
