The TM-61C was the second version of the surface-to-surface U.S. Air Force Matador cruise missile…read more Built by Martin, it carried a nuclear warhead, flew at subsonic speeds at an altitude of up to 13 kilometers (8 miles), and had a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). After being boosted during its launch by a short-firing solid-fuel rocket engine, a jet engine then powered the missile the rest of the way to the target. Ground-based microwave emitters assisted the missile in finding its target. The TM-61C was deployed at various sites in Europe and Asia from 1957 to 1962 and was replaced by the more advanced Mace cruise missile. Now sitting in the parking lot of a church the location used to be a local airport (Big Daddy's Airport) and was originally painted red and used as signage for the first location of the Big Daddy's restaurant chain. There is no caption near the missile, which is completely approachable. I was unable to discern how this obsolete nuclear warhead came to be here.

It can be very difficult to obtain a timely prescheduled appointment these days at a NC DMV. It can…read moreforce one to travel unusual distances, or show up and wait outside to hope for a chance to be assisted. If you fall under that category, and the weather is anything but a clear-skied 70 degrees, do not choose this small outpost location. I was alarmed and profoundly disappointed to witness the, I will say it, *dangerous* disregard this staff showed for the public when unnecessarily *locking their door* thereby forcing everyone, including those with appointments, to wait outside in temperatures that ranged between *98 and 100* degrees. While the foyer and entry hall remained empty, there was only a shallow brick alcove by the doors where you could try to avoid the blistering sun. Even there, my heart rate was pounding while my body tried to adjust to the heat. There was even an amputee outside with crutches. The reasoning the staff gave, when they bothered to, was they were 'short-staffed.' From a customer's view, there were plenty of staff, one of which was doing nothing but sitting in a corner complaining about her back and swapping recipes, and another who was just standing and 'overseeing' and periodically opening the door to ask if anyone had an appointment. I feel certain that person was senior enough that they could have been at a terminal or at least determining what each person was there for. For example, at the Cary, NC Avent Ferry location, even during COVID when everyone had to line up distanced outside, a DMV staff member remained outside and walked the line, triaging each customer. Some were able to go home because they didn't have the right documents with them. At this location, however, I watched as a lovely young woman who had waited in the scorching heat for over an hour, was finally allowed inside to be told something to that effect. She lamented that had she known, she might have avoided that. There were two open terminals where staff could have been at least attempting to assist people, even if they needed to ask other staff for guidance. Regardless, human beings needed to be inside air-conditioned space. They made no effort to e.g. take their number and let them wait in a car with the A/C running, nor to allow people inside. The number of people waiting could have been accommodated in the interior space, or family members accompanying them sent back to wait more comfortably in their vehicles. And it was not a pandemic distancing concern; those had been long ago lifted, and not a single member of their staff was masked. Once we were inside, the space was clean, and the staff who did assist us were for the most part cordial and professional. That is the only reason for the ** and not *.

You just get assigned a number, sit down, and then wait for that number to be called. How simple is that. The one thing that was great about this place was that the front desk would double check all the materials you have brought to make sure you have everything you need before waiting too long and being told that you didn't have all the material. P.S. Make an appointment if you're in a rush. P.S.S. this is NOT the location for vehicle registration! That one is on stantonsburg.

Big plus: this location is open on Saturday with full services. Modern automatic numbering/calling system, touch screen testing centers, and pretty friendly staff members. As of the first of the new year, they were stopping all testing at 4 pm each day, and road testing areas were behind the old mall and down a little ways in the Red Oak/Allendale neighborhoods. Also, they weren't taking appointments, only walk-ins, and had random hours. Be advised that the former/original location from many years back on 10th Street is now only for vehicle/vessel registration and plates, so this location is definitely the call for anything driver license related. You're best off checking operating hours before visiting.
