A couple of notable barbecue joints are located off Winston Rd in Lexington within less than a half mile of each other: Speedy’s and Smiley’s. Eventually, NCDOT is planning to widen this road (also known as Hwy 8) and will likely force both restaurants to close at their current locations. Timing is currently not known as of the last time I stopped in at Smiley’s last fall. -Monk #streetsignsaturday
