I've heard of tons of people getting speeding tickets on 95. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-near-emporia-va#post-1684735 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 11:22:32 +0000 LovelyPlum 1684735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to live about an hour and a half away, and I think I knew it was a speed trap. BUT, the best part of Emporia is a little joint called Logan's Diner. They have the BEST peanut butter pie ever. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-near-emporia-va#post-1650827 Thu, 22 May 2014 07:39:30 +0000 Caly 1650827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm over an hour away &amp; I drive through it most weekends during the summer on our way to the lake. I don't wanna jinx myself but neither DH or I have gotten a ticket....mainly because of all the people I know who has received tickets....it's a known speed trap, they make money off it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-near-emporia-va#post-1637493 Thu, 15 May 2014 16:35:23 +0000 mrs. 64 1637493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live kinda close.

I swear, that town makes their money off speeding tickets. It is the worst place on earth. Seriously, if there was Hell on earth, it would be Emporia. Sorry if anyone lives there. I got a ticket there. My best friend got a ticket there. Another friend got a ticket there. UGH. I hate it. </p> <p>So, how fast was your mom going? I swear they just upped their speed limits to 70 recently and I haven't heard as many complaints since. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-near-emporia-va#post-1636855 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:52:24 +0000 Pancakes 1636855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hah, I have never lived there but I grew up near there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-live-near-emporia-va#post-1636812 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:46:06 +0000 cmomma17 1636812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of it and I live in VA!
